Hi all! Here is my new (and only, so far) Grendel. I picked it up one week ago. I've been waiting for the mount and scope to come in before I posted a pic of it. Hopefully I'll go to the range tomorrow (playing hooky at work) and shoot it. I really love the carbon fiber handguard!! Thank you Mark at Precision Firearms for building this beauty!!!

20" Bartlein 5R, double fluted, although you can only see the front set of flutes. I need to take another pic of the front of the handguard. It's a triangle...kinda stud looking...

Haven't weighed it. I'll try and remember to do that tomorrow. I do know it's lighter then my M1A. I expect it will be very accurate. Form what I've heard about Mark and from talking to him at the Tulsa Wanenmaker gun show 1 1/2 weeks ago he knows what he's doing and a perfectionist who cares about his product. Too bad his shop isn't where I live, I'd love to work for him...

Should be in-between snow storms tomorrow so I'm hoping to make it to the range, if the roads aren't to muddy/slushy from the last snow...
I need to test some loads thru this also...

Mount is a LaRue Tactical built in 20 MOA PSR Scope Mount QD, LT112, (love their stuff) and the scope is a Vortex 6-24x50 PST that I got from Cameraland as a demo...

Nice, looked like a Vortex and yes, LaRue makes killer mounts...
