@ just_john I'm in the socialist republic of Washington for now but I'm planning to head down to Texas. I'm planning to use the 6.5 for varmint to medium sized game and target shooting (pigs when I get to texas) I have a lower with an ssa-e just sitting around collecting dust so I really need a new upper and thought an 18-20 inch grendel would be just right. plus I can share bullets with my 260 when reloading. I really wanted a 6xc or 6.5xc but it would be more trouble than it's worth in an ar. I'm not sure if I'm going to put one together or just buy a complete. I know it would be cheaper to buy a complete but it's fun to tinker.

tim300wsm - when do you plan to escape from the left coast and, what part of Texas are you aiming for? Glad to have you. Unless you have a reasonable understanding of how boom things work, I usually encourage folks to start with a "ready-made" so that they can slowly wander thru the various component systems and come to an understanding of what that "thing" is, why it is there and how it works. And, there isn't "why isn't this workign" moment with no knowledge base to work from. But, I would never discourage someone from just "jumping in there" and roll a fresh one. The AR platform is an incredible foundation and the Grendel is an awesome round. The combination is definitely a marriage made in heaven!
