    https://craddockprecision.com/rtr-6-5-grendel-13-9-the-pangris/ While I have no financial interest in these, I feel obligated to push them since they're my namesake :^) Available in .750 and .625 ultralight - can't wait to get mine in hand.

    Craddock RTR

    The new Grendel RTRs have dropped. Pay no attention to them being named after me, I have no financial interest, just a friendly relationship with Craddock that goes back to the White Oak days. https://craddockprecision.com/rtr-6-5-grendel-13-9-the-pangris/

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    I'll be curious to see if anyone comes up with a gadget that fits on a rail with a release under the batteries. Its such a great tool other than that massive detail. Gen three, they could position the batteries on a side to prevent the overhang on both sides.

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    Slightly redacted email to Steiner... First, the gigantic step backwards from a Gen 1 unit being rail mountable to the Gen 2 unit being exceptionally limited by comparison is, to be frank, laughable. The mounting options for the C35 make it analogous to an athlete bound to a wheelchair. The...

    Craddock RTR

    Two different animals. The criterion is a harder stainless if I recall - should last appreciably longer - so it may shoot a little better but the real difference probably won't show up for 3,000 - 5,000 rounds. *Afterthought - the new "400MODBB" barrel material is yet harder than the prior...

    ETA, got one, want another I'd like to trade into a nice rifle tripod set up that could safely and securely support a 13-15 lb precision rifle set up - HK USPs, S&W revolvers, real West German made SIG 220's with sharp hammers, maybe optics, maybe rifles on the table depending on the rig...

    6.5 Grendel Barrels selection (late) 2023?

    Same same. I don't get that concerend about the two inches between 12.5-14.5 regardless of which. I keep waiting to see the 6.8 make a comeback. I say the Grendel may not be a superstar, but might be MVP. If I could only have one (and ammo supply wasn't a concern) Grendel all day. Bigjake83...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I'm curious to load up some 90s/100s for pigs/deer. There are lots of ways to get it done. Just talked to a guy who went from a Grendel to a 22-250 shooting 35 gr at 1,000,000 FPS - said hitting pigs in the neck is almost always a DRT. Art, not science. I'd be an 80-90 gr Grendel at 3000+...

    6.5 Grendel Barrels selection (late) 2023?

    Maybe sometimes not having to pin and weld, which you'd hate, while maximizing the point of diminishing returns is the justification for the stamp 😉 Depending on application, I understand everything from 10" to 24" but if I could only have one Grendel, I'd be OK with anything between 12.5-14.5.

    6.5 Grendel Barrels selection (late) 2023?

    Amen brother. I'm running them in 12.5" as well - I think that is the point of diminishing returns. Hydrostatic shock isn't much of a thing until 2200 FPS and with the 12.5" I'm starting at 2300 with the 120-ish loads, a little better with the Underwood/100gr stuff. With that said there does...

    6.5 Grendel Barrels selection (late) 2023?

    I think this essentially is the 16" barrel from a market demand standpoint. The gain of the functional 2" is minimal and this will allow for a muzzle device to get you to 16" - I've been surprised at how little gain I get from 12.5" to 20", i.e. about 250-300 FPS depending on load. If I'm...
