Hi Walley,
I built a 20" Remington Model 7 in 6.5 Grendel. I gave it to one of my son's who thought he needed more umpff so he had it rechambered to 6.5 Creedmoor. This was a really light weight build, under 5 lbs. In the Grendel it was pleasurable to shoot. In the 6.5 Creedmoor it is still fun, but whacks you a little more because it is such a light rifle. It does produce about 250 fps more velocity at the same operating pressures and shooting the same bullet. For Use at 600 yards and in, I liked it in the 6.5 Grendel better.
