    Looks nice..welcome to the game. I almost bought that Geissele but went with the LaRue instead. What distances do you plan to shoot?

    Once you get it all set-up share your groups and journey.

      Ya, couldn't pass up the price on that GS2 for $109.

      We'll see how she does out to 400 and go from there.

        Got my BCA 20" upper today.

        Funny how BCA says on their site not to use steel case ammo yet the 3 rounds they test fired thru mine were steel case!

        Go figure.

        Still waiting on parts to put my lower together.

          Yea... I doubt they have some special materials used in their barrels that somehow make them incompatible with Wolf Steel cased. I ignored their recommendation because I don't care about shortened barrel life. It doesn't take much math to figure out that you more than make-up for it in the cost of ammo. Barrels are a consumable item anyway so use what makes the most sense for your intended need.

            Let us know how your BCA 20" 6.5 Grendel shoots. CJ7nvesrk did you get the stainless steel, Nitrite or chrome moley barrel?

                I hope your BCA 20" upper shoots good! That is a great looking package, I like that they offer M-Lok or Key Mod hand guards.

                      Me too. Hoping to get everything put together next week and then get to the range.

                          Got it put together late Tuesday night and made it out to the range (B-Tactical) yesterday. Put 40 rounds thru her. Pretty happy so far. I think the gun is more capable than my shooting at this point. I previously haven't worked much on my precision shooting to the point I am now so I have some things to work on on my part. Rifle performed great. Want to change out my pistol grip as tHe one I have on another rifle is more comfortable. Also need to blue lock title my scope mount as I didn't have any with me when in mounted the scope in the back of the Jeep at the range.
