Hunting with 6.5 Grendel in an AR Vs a Bolt gun in X Caliber for medium/large game.

[Drifter]

I prefer the AR for hunting because of its versatility. With a QD scope mount and folding BUIS, the setup can be tailored to any particular hunting task and style in a moment's notice. It's literally just seconds to change from a long-range precision rig (with scope, bipod, etc) to a lighter fast-handling short-range setup for use in thicker terrain, and back again as circumstances dictate.

In the AR-15 platform (my preference over the larger and heavier AR-10 / LR-308 platform), the 6.5 Grendel is perhaps the best factory-loaded cartridge to compliment the weapon system's versatility.
