i built my grendel with a 20" fluted saturn barrel but to save weight i purchased a New Frontier Armory polymer lower (which i love!! it works flawlessly), and a MI Gen 2 SS free float handguard..those two items alone took almost a pound off of what it used to be with a standard lower and a DD lite rail. with a 6.5-25x50 scope and larue spr mount the total weight is about 7.3 lbs, just barely more than my 30-06 wood stock savage with scope on it...i thought i was going to heavy with a 20" inch rather than an 18" but i can spot and stalk all day with it and my 5'2" girlfriend can use it even...18" will work just fine and 20" inch doesnt give a hole lot more velocity and all but hey, i got it and managed to built a light enough rifle to use it...
