And finally I have my first grendel....

[J_Von_Random]

* KP-15 WWSD-mod lower.
* KEArms KP-15 LPK, 45/90 ambi selector (setup for 45 and left handed)
* KEArms TiN milispec trigger. (temporary until I decide what trigger I want)
* PDQ lever (mostly for completeness sake; the standard AR bolt catch is set up fine for left handed use)
* Aero Precision NFA upper, UPK
* Proof Research 20" 6.5 Grendel barrel
* Faxon 17" CF handguard
* Titanium .875" gas block, brand forgotten
* V7 Titanium micro brake
* JP 6.5G Enhanced bolt and carrier
* Leupold Mark AR 30mm scope mount
* Primary Arms 4-14x44FFP, ACSS-R-GRID 2B reticle (until I can save up for a really nice optic)

7lbs 13.5 oz with optic.

Took it to a local indoor range today for a basic function check and to make sure the optic was at least vaguely on paper. It feels very nice in the hand.

Very nice! I understand the KP-15 lower, CF handguard and Proof barrel, but I'm still surprised at the low weight. Well done.

I got the barrel "lightly used" in march of last year. Been slowly acquiring parts since.

Slick looking rig J Von

Great rifle, I like your choice of components!

I just got my first 6.5 Grendel complete upper yesterday. It has an M4 profile barrel. I borrowed a complete lower and a Scope, Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8, from another carbine so I could take it to the range today. I fired 1 shot at 100 and I was on the edge of the target. I dialed some windage and shot two 3 shot groups, both 7/8" with Nosler factory 120 grain BT ammo. I said all that to ask, do I need to get a scope configured like yours to wring out the 6.5 Grendel. I have acess to a 1000 yard bench rest range.

Very nice build. I have a 20" Proof barrel too. All SS though, and I love it. You beat me on weight...mine is just over 10 lbs...and I think your CF handguard and barrel and no bipod is the difference.

Understood. The 1-8 scope is just a place holder concerning 1000 yards. What is your idea of a scope for a 16" 6.5 Grendel for all around shoooting out to 1000 yards? Weight and cost, not much more than $500, are prime considerations. I will not be shooting competition. I can get by without illumination and zero stop. I am thinking a 4-14 x 44 or 4-16 x 44. I am also at about 450' ASL. I want a reticle similar to the NF SHV MOAR.
