6.5 Grendel upper

[tomt]

I need some input from you folks. I have a Radical Firearms 300 Blk with a Vortex scope. The AR shoots pretty good so I don't want to mess with the upper. I am wanting to purchase a 6.5 Grendel upper and install my Pulsar Digex NV scope on it. The 6.5 upper will be used at night to hunt hogs. What is a good upper that will give me MOA out to 200 yards. I have a Geissele SSA trigger on order from my LGS. I would like to stay in the $750 to 800 range, not to get to crazy. Thanks Tom

VASCAR 2, as a matter of fact I will be running it with my SILENCERco Omega 300 with an ASR muzzle brake.

Grendel Hunter will do the job for you. In your price range. They use match barrels and it shows. That is what I run.

All the 6.5 Grendel magazine manufacturers have lemons slip out so I suggest you buy magazines from vendors with good customer service in case you get a lemon. For night hunting with a suppressor I think the CPD Duramag 20 round 6.5 Grendel magazines are a good size. I use my 20 round CPD-D mags, 17 round E-Lander and fifteen round ASC mags the most. I have the 24/25 round 6.5 Grendel mags but I typical use the medium capacities most. The CPD Duramag twenty round mags I bought needed no break in and would be my choice if buying new mags.

Well I guess armyeod was just lucky then.

VASCAR2 has given good advice. I have a Liberty barrel and a Compass Lake finished Douglas blank. The Liberty shoots quite well now, but the cost to get it there evens out the price difference between the two, and the Liberty will never shoot as well as the CLE. If you've got a thermal budget, you've got a true match grade barrel budget too.

Quick update:
My Grendel upper is complete.

18" Faxon gunner barrel
REXUS AR15 bolt carrier group
Areo precision adjustable gas block
Tacstar carbon fiber handguard
Mil-spec gas tube
Mil-spec charging handle

I've only been able to shoot 12 rounds thru it, but the last 3 shots at 100yds was 1' with Frontier ammo.
