65 Grendel bolt gun

[big g fan]

Looking for a bolt gun chambered in 6.5 Grendel any body know we're I might be able to get one or who makes them if any. I've seen rebarreled cz's in the past. Thanks for the help. It would be a hunter light weight style is what I'm looking for not tactical.

I've been looking as well and have yet to see any company sell a bolt action Grendel. All the one's I've seen are rebarreled CZ's or Remington's that someone has done themselves or had a gunsmith do for them. It would be nice if AA would make some. Maybe Bill will comment on if that's a possibility?

I've heard a couple rumors saying that Savage and Remington are going to start producing one in a year or two now that it's SAAMI.

A Savage in 7.62x39 can be easily re-barrelled in the Grendel.

Same for any Savage in other calibers, especially in .308 or .223 length actions, but more parts are needed.

I have know idea if this would be possible, and it would probably be really expensive. But you could possible get somebody like Surgeon Actions to make you one.

A Savage in 223 needs only the bolthead opened up and a grendel barrel put on. Once you have the parts in your hand it takes about 15-20 minutes to change everything out you just need a barrel nut wrench and a good hammer. Brass or deadblow is prefered but i use a claw hammer. You might need a 15 inch cressent and a glove to hold the action if you don't have an action wrench to get the original barrel off but just the nut wrench to put the new barrel on. That and an allen wrench to pull the bolt apart. Headspace it and your off to the races. Savage uses the 223 magazine for the 7.62x39.

Now that's not a good thing. Don't have my ar Grendel upper and you have to post those pics. I'll be broke forever. I think I may have to find one of those also.

You keep posting those pictures, and you're going to have to start offering rifles!

I'm in line!!

I'm pretty stoked, i shot a group 2 days ago on paper at 810 yards just over 5 inches.

Discounting one flyer that went just as a gust of wind started.

Here are some great threads with several other Grendel bolt guns:

Read through both of those threads. There are a lot of great insights and a lot of pics of Grendel bolt guns.

Prices? Come on!! LOL!!

I've got about 1300.00 into it not counting the base, rings, scope or bipod.

Given the amount of work involved, if i built one to sell I would want 1600.00. The 300.00 profit would make up for 1 1/2 days of work and the cost of the reamer

ken226, I want one too! Im serious!!
Make me one!
