After about 2 years I have finally pieced together my first Grendel build. Now its time to head to the range and see what she will do!
The build consist of:
Luth AR MBA in FDE
Ergo Tactical Deluxe Grip w/Palm Shelf
Palmetto State Armory Lower w/LPK
Timney Trigger
Aero Precision FDE Upper Reciver (squared and polished)
Nikon Buckmaster BDC 4.5-14x40
Underground Tactical Medium Contour 20" barrel FDE w/BCG
YHM 15" TJ Competition Series Forearm (Extended Rifle Length)
UTG Bipod 6"-8"
Precision Firearms 6.5 LMD Brake
I wasn't sure how it was going to look with the difference in colors but i'm kinda impressed with the way it turned out. My next expense for this rifle is better glass on top and start building up a few loads. Any input on glass would be great. I'm leaning towards the Nightorce SHV but i haven't made my mind up yet. My comfort level right now is about 700 yards and I have been able to ring steel consistently with my bolt 300 RUM. I figured its time to reduce the recoil and enjoy shooting a little more.
Ok made a trip to the range today I shot PPU 120 gr hpbt, Hornady A-Max, and Hornady SST at 200 yards. As bad as I hate to say it I think the PPU out preformed the Hornady ammo. If I don't get around to building up loads at least my gun likes cheap ammo. Never the less I think all three loads would be good out to about my max comfort range. I will post pictures tomorrow of the targets. So far very pleased with Underground Tactical barrel.
