Seeing how many people are using the 18" barrel for a hunting rig, I sure hope I didn't make a bad choice in going with a 16" barrel in the Liberty buy.
When I first started thinking about a Grendel 4-5 years ago I was thinking 20-24 inch barrel. I've actually been on the notify list for a 24" AA upper from Midway. Now I'm glad I never was able to order one. I think I've got $100-$150 more in my upper and I know I'll like it a lot better. If you look at the ballistics down range I think a 16-18" is capable of dropping anything I will hunt. If I need something bigger I'll go to the bolt 7mag.
Edit:
Here's a helpful search engine I used to locate some of my parts. Found it in one of the threads I read here over the last week
