Any one else see THIS?

[NugginFutz]

I have - now. At $830, it's a real opportunity to get into the game at an affordable price. 20" bbl with a brake, but the profile looks a little thin. (I like mine with a bit more meat on the bone.)

How did you come across this?

Wow, that is a great price. Do we know if it's a SAAMI Spec chamber?

[sneaky one]

Good find Buster! I sent an email to them- about their chamber specs.,, we'll see if they respond soon.

Buster, thanks for sharing. I passed it on to several friends. I hope to see many more cheap grendels in the future. I am still using entry level grendels that were built with budget being the primary focus. Cheap, but one inch groups at a hundred, serves me well. I have to many hobbies now, however, my future plans are to build a truly precision rifle. Cheap, got me in to the market; I hope several thousand shooters take the same path. I want to see 6.5 Grendel on the shelf in the same quantities as 30-06.

I hear ya man.........I wished other ammo makers like Federal or Winchester, etc., would get on-board the Grendel train

I thought this was kind of interesting from their web site.

Stock Status:In Stock
Availability:: Usually Ships in 2 to 3 Weeks

An in stock item that takes 2 to 3 weeks to ship. Doesn't sound like an "in stock" item to me.

Radical Arms said the use Saami

Got email back from Radical and they said they use a Saami chamber

[Evaris]

Well, I'm quite interested moreso than I was already.

Lol...I believe that's how they handle there rifles. Build them when a order comes in.

am49- I got the same email, about the same time, from Tim., @ Radical Firearms.
I have his fone# - I'll call him on Thursday. This may be cool, we'll see.
The issues from the past need to be - never heard from again--- to keep this round moving forward in the best of the best components, like AA uses. & The best technicians, with the best reamers-etc. A mistake can be made anywhere in the processes, yet QC. is paramount on this round--- It needs to be abap perfectly in specs. Not too difficult to do.

It's time to improve this entire Grendel experience, to the level that it, & Bill A., deserves. Lapua too.
No more nock off clones, from fly by nite companies out to make a quick buck.

You becareful sneaky I heard the guys at radical can be a little fiesty at times. But then again they hadn't heard from the horde yet! Lol

[SKYNET KC]

I'll order one tomorrow morning. I'm getting married in a month. It's a present to myself. lol

[Savage Shooter]

Wow, if they are good shooters, that's an incredible price for a complete rifle. I see sales for Bushmaster or S&W MPs, for example, at Gander Mountain and Academy Sports for $850ish every week, so it's possible to supply a complete basic rifle for that price. No reason that cutting a 6.5 Grendel barrel should be much different than a 5.56. I thought their 8-10.5" barreled "pistols" were pretty cool.
