Will get a T3 on it a bit down the track, but while at gunworks organising the chamber work I noticed their fidget spinners on the counter, so for expedience got them to bung one on at the same time. Got her prone on the blunt end to set up the scope this afternoon.

Anderson slick side upper
Hera MLOK handguard
Alexander Arms 16" barrel w/ AA hard use bolt
Anderson adjustable gas block

@Kiwi Greg

What mags are you using for the 6.5 Grendel builds?
I haven't heard/read too many good things about the C-Products mags in 7.62x39 or 6.5 Grendel.

How do you rate the calibre so far?

I have some Alexander arms ones

I really like the cartridge, it makes the 223 look like exactly what it is, underpowered for general hunting duties on anything other than small pests....Flame on....

What's the point of flaming?
It was an obvious troll.

However you could say that about any cal larger than the 223, the grendel being one of them.
Especially when regarding an amateur hunter/marksman.

I would rate myself with a .223, a pair of under $400 binos and no range finder for any NZ hunting under 250 yards against anyone with any other combo they want to challenge me on.

And because I've I've had a couple or so wines, they can be any age too.

I reserve the right to withdraw this boast in the morning.

You are having a buck each way at the moment. In the morning you may double down Tahr.

Yeah I'm liking it the more I look into building a 6.5 Grendel upper.

On the ballistics calculator it just craps all over my .223 loads. But in saying that, I have and witnessed others pull off some amazing shots with .223's. I've only shot one deer with a .223, but I've shot tons of goats and it just smashes them with the right bullets. I wouldn't feel undergunned if I could only have a .223. It's cheap, accurate and effective if you understand it's limitations. Grendel is expensive and much higher performance. You don't want to lose any brass.

I like the 223. Cheap brass, cheap projectiles, pretty good bang for your buck.

Grendal is an underpowered piece of crap compared to a 50bmg
