Hey everyone, excited about my upgrade from 204 to Grendel. The partial camo paint job is from my original build chambered in 204 Ruger which I will be getting another upper reciever and bcg sometime so I can swap uppers at will. My upper and lower recievers are nothing fancy, but this thing sure can shoot. Most 3 shot groups so far @ 385-400 yards have been less than 1 and 1/2 inches CTC.

MRI Adjustable Gas Tube
EGW Gas Block
Model 1 Sales Freefloat Tube
Rock River Arms Scout Extended Riser
Sightron SIII 6.5 - 24x50mm Scope

Looks like it's a solid sub .3 MOA shooter at those distances. Beautiful...any ranges in your AO where you can stretch her legs a little more?

My gun club only goes to 385 will be expanding next year to 500 yards.
Although not near as convenient as club, i do have places i can shoot out past 1000.
Im hoping tommorrow to beable to get out tommorrow and try 650 yards, if not then definitely by this weekend im gonna drag out my shooting bench and shoot 600 plus. Excited to see how it holds past 385yds

Thanks again everyone!! I got out and shot a few groups at 600 and 650 yards. I got 2 great groups and 6 other groups that were 5 to 8 ". There was some shifting winds of up to about 5- 10 mph. I am confident that with more trigger time and mild weather ill be able to hold 1/2 moa out to 600-700 yards fairly consistent.
Here is my 650 yard group to beat @ 1.98"
