    6.5 Grendel Upper

    Respectfully you need to do some research…the grendel was designed to fit in a 223/AR15 lower. the 308 does not fit an AR15 - it uses an AR10 lower.

    6.5 Grendel Upper recommendation

    Odin works doesn’t have a forward assist which I use when quietly closing the bolt in a deer stand. Alexander Arms sounds good, but there website says 10 weeks or so wait and some reviews said they waited longer. So, after reading LRRPF52s comment in post #4 on the Lilja barrels, I checked with...

    6.5 Grendel Upper recommendation

    Thanks My neighbor and I shoot a lot and he likes the 6 better as well. I like the heavier 6.5s for my expected use.

    6.5 Grendel Upper recommendation

    You are exactly right on order now! I already feel the time pressure! I dread starting on a new cartridge with today’s shortages. Brass may be a real issue, but at least I see some expensive ammo available that I can buy for brass. Weight and back order time will likely be the deciding factor...

    6.5 Grendel Upper recommendation

    I have read lots of reviews and don’t see much negative on these two, but I would like options on a lightweight grendel upper. I am looking at Odin works and Alexander Arms. I want something to deer hunt with within 300 yards that I can carry around when doing drives. I have 300BOs which don’t...

    Suggestion for a lightweight barrel with 0.750 muzzle?

    I see what you are saying from that link - thanks. Fluted that could get close. I used their page for building a barrel with 750 taperless. It showed 128 oz under additional information. That must be some generic number or something. For Shilen, where did you get 460 bore from? It says it is a...

    Suggestion for a lightweight barrel with 0.750 muzzle?

    Is there a reference I can use when I call them? I was thinking 18 to 20”, but If 16.5“ is working that would be awesome with the ultra 7. That is what I’m looking for! (have the weight by any chance?)

    Suggestion for a lightweight barrel with 0.750 muzzle?

    I could use an adaptor and have before but I really prefer direct thread. 750 taper less on their site shows 8# for a 28”. The “light weight” I am going for is less than 3.5#.

    Suggestion for a lightweight barrel with 0.750 muzzle?

    I am looking for a lighter weight barrel contour with muzzle diameter to thread 5/8-24. I found one at Shilen, below: 46 Mag Suppressed Our #4 contour with a swell back up to .880 from the 16.5"to 19". 19" 3lbs 3oz. Any experience with this one? Any other suggestions or...

    Upgrading reloading equipment

    I do a lot of rifle cases for prairie dog hunting and some match ammo and personally, I despised trimming and chamfering cases more than about any prep stage. I got the Giraud trimmer and it saves so much time and effort with better results. I also got the V3 scale combo and it also saves a lot...

    Hunting & Fishing Pics out of or from your blind or stand.

    From ms rules for our area: “A legal buck is defined as having EITHER a minimum inside spread of 10 inches OR one main beam at least 13 inches long.” he just wouldn’t stand still for a ruler!😝 AND, you are correct - one may be take that does not meet the criteria.

    Ammo for my new rifle, new shooter

    Since I reload I can’t recommend affordable ammo. You will likely get some advice here. if you are going for long range go up in bullet weight. You don’t list your barrel twist but you can Google charts on how high you can go for your barrel. Try various ammo until you find what works best in...

    Hunting camo

    I use camo as I think it helps but I sure ain’t “Gucci”. For up close applications like bow hunting and keeping the mature does from seeing you while waiting for big bucks, I believe it helps. Besides I already own it for crow and coyote hunting Now I will admit the most important aspect is be...
