Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel

[biodsl]

Interesting. I just filled out the comment form asking if my RPR uses a 6.5 Creedmoor SAAMI spec chamber ; ) I'll report back.

Attached is Ruger's response. Different than what BTF got back on the Grendel chambering.

That makes more sense. Someone in CS actually did a little research before answering.

Click the follow up link and ask if the same answer applies to the Grendel.

So we're 2 for 2. Two different CSRs. Two different answers.

The link is dead. Reading further, it says to fill out another form or call.

We stopped by their booth at SHOT, no samples on display, but Ruger does have a lot of SKUs.

Putting the 6.5 Grendel in a standard .308-class short action is like dressing a bikini model in baggy combat fatigues. . . .

but see the thing is....
this still works for me

as far as a grendel bolt gun i still want a BDL over a detachable mag i figure if i am going to deal with the ergonomics of a mag hanging 3 inches out the bottom of the receiver i may as well just use an AR

Good LORD this sight needs a "like" button. I'm still laughing as I type this out just to say how good your post is.

That's gotta be a recruitment picture!

OK. Yeah . . . um . . . I stand corrected.

Did not know the Israelis issued alive drab skin tight leggings. Nice.

mongoosesnipe - If one wanted the traditional bolt action body, then yes to a flush floor plate. But to compare an AR to a Bolt gun with a mag hanging out the bottom - two different animals.

I was stationed in Izmir, Turkey 72-74. In early 74 my wife and I took a tour to Israel, and I have a photo of a young female soldier down near Jericho at the Dead Sea, standing alongside the road waiting for a bus, wearing a mini skirt, with shopping bag on one shoulder and an Uzi on the other.

Well, my Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel shipped. I should have it by Friday. I'll take some pictures and give it a quick review for you guys.

[BluntForceTrauma]

Sweet! Lookin' forward to your report!

I might trade my 6.5 AR barrel/bolt for a heavy 223 and then buy the Ruger for my Grendel.
