I've got the Ultralight Upper listed for sale in the classified section. It's actually the GDMR( Grendel Designated Marksman Rifle) rifle with an additional Ultralight Upper.
It's titled- 6.5 Grendel Rifle & Extra 6.5 Grendel Satern Spartan lightweight Upper- $2,500.00
I've got the rifle and extra upper priced at the same $2,500.00 which I thought is a great price compared to what AA is charging for the model you asked about. Basically you get the extra upper for free.
I've decided to postpone buying a Grendel, at least until I'm sure that it'd be worth the substantial expense. I haven't done any rifle shooting since about 1997, when I still had a fully functional body, and access to private land on which to shoot.
Now that I must not only learn to shoot left-handed, but also on controlled shooting ranges, I think it'd be wiser to take things one step at a time.
My plan is to start off with a low-cost, ultra-lightweight rifle that I know I can handle with my reduced physical abilities. If that works out to my satisfaction, then I can consider upgrading to a more expensive platform.
