Hi gang! I've been reading and studying the Grendel for awhile now and am trying to decide if I should buy a made upper or have my gunsmith build one for me. I have a Rock River 223 / AR right now but have fallen in love with the 6.5.
Barrel length? 18" or would 20 be just a hair better? This will mostly be for hunting some target but not at 1000 yards. Is a bull barrel a must? I've read of a number of brand name barrels but don't want to go with most expensive one I.e. Less Bower etc.
As you can see I'm a little confused how to go. I'm itching big time to buy but don't want to make big mistake.
BTW - I live 30 minutes from Camp Perry and I'm thinking about going up there to see what they have on venders row.
Thanks for any advice. R
