Hello all. I am not quite ready yet to do a home-build. But after a lot of research I want a 6.5 Grendel AR. This rifle will be used for target (mostly informal, but still I am serious about accuracy), and hunting deer sized game. This will not be a home-defense rifle or anything like that. And I do reload.
I searched for a forum like this because the FakeBook sites are packed with Trolls bashing the heck out of each other's purchases and builds.
At my club, we all "run what we brung" and respect each other, there are high-dollar ARs and budget ARs, and from my experience they all run just fine, with sometimes surprising accuracy. It's like 1911 pistols. One guy at the club has a $5000 Wilson. It is very pretty and well finished. But I have witnessed it stovepipe factory ammo a few times, and from a rest it is no more accurate than most other 1911's. One kid's $400 Rock Island Arms shoots nearly as accurately, and seems to reliably consume any kind of ammo whatsoever. Go figure.
On this AR I want a rifle length gas system, and 20" barrel minimum. Actually, for my uses, a 22" will be better.
I found 3 possibilities; Radical Firearms, Pro2ATactical, and Bear Creek Arsenal. Do any of you have experiences with these 3 brands? Either yourself, or at your range, or a friend, whatever? I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks,
Art
