My first time building...ever

[garikfox]

Hello everyone my name is Garik, I'm from Mesa, AZ. I will be building my very first rifle(s) (rifles in my signature). This will be a slow process because I still have to go to YouTube University. lol. I'm glad to be here thank you

Welcome to the 65grendel forum. Looks like your on your way. Hard to beat Aero Precision.

There is a wealth of information out here. You should be able to find anything you need.

If you would, share with us what your plans are with the Grendel. Being in AZ, I'm sure it will involve desert shooting.

Thanks! It will go with me too the claims when I go Electronic Prospecting and there's an outdoor range about 15miles from my house I can go target shooting.

Good luck! Might not be easy, at first, but it'll be worth it!

[garikfox]

Thanks! I was actually thinking of having the gun shop put together ($50) the lower. I just can't trust myself and i'm OCD so if i do it i will always tell myself "wonder if this is put together right even though it looks right" lol

Aero, Brownells, and Midway have youtube videos on AR assembly. You might give them a peek?

[garikfox]

Thank you, I'll post pictures soon as it's assembled.

I can help you put that lower together. We don't live that far from each other.......

Thank you I appreciate that. I actually had it put together yesterday from EVT/Mr.Silencer on Greenfield and Broadway. I walked there since it was only 2700ft from my house in Sunland Village.

Here it is! It's a BUTE!

garik,

Looks nice - tell us how she shoots.

(that mount might have to go forward on the rail to get the correct eye relief).

Nice rifle. I'm jealous of the Ziess.....

[garikfox]

Thanks! Yeah that's the only thing im not sure about yet is the eye distance. I'm going to sight it in with a laser soon. I only have like 15yds to do it with but that's better than nothing i guess hehee

Thanks, Normally i wouldn't spend so much on a scope but I wanted a good one because a rifle is nothing without a scope in my opinion.

garik,

I think you are talking about zeroing the rifle with the laser.

Eye relief is the gap between the ocular and your eye when shooting. Just saying, your scope is too far back over the stock. The ocular end of the scope needs to be about level with the charge handle. You can then adjust forward and back until there's maximum field of view, but no closer to your eye than necessary. You can do this in your garage before going to the Range.
