Catchy sig line here.

Just bought my 6.5 grendel today. Will be here thursday. The 6.5 G must fly off the shelf because all they had left was a .308 in the predator. I labored a while over the only three i could find. The cz 527, the howa mini, and the rap. my son has the mini howa in the 223 and has good luck with it other than breaking an extractor when he used steel case ammo. he still suggested i get the howa, but i opted for the ruger. guess we can have a lil competition. lol price wise the howa and ruger seem to be about the same. the ar mag was probably the deciding factor between the rifles for me.
