I bought my wife a FN FS2000 several years ago.
I improved the trigger with the neu trigger. Makes it more slick.
But still, I can shoot a lot better at 600 yards with my Robarms XCR than I can with the FS2000.
Step that up to 800 yards for a Grendel 6.5, you get the picture. In addition to the bullet mass, typically around 123gr (compared to 55, 62, 77gr for the 5.56), the benefit of the Grendel is its ballistics at range. Without a excellent trigger, you are going to lose accuracy due incredibly minor movements during the trigger squeeze process. That's just the way it is.
So beyond having larger mass bullets, I don't see a lot of benefit and don't see it happening for at least 3-years, if at all.
All the long distance shooters replace their triggers with Geisele, Timney, AR Gold etc.
