My newest Grendel homebuild

[Hooz]

My nephew had a blast shooting both guns. This is him driving the Grendel (linked from Facebook, so let me know if it doesn't show up):



And here's the very first 5-shot group with the Hornady ammo.



I think I'll keep it!

nice shooting! hornady is good stuff.

Wow,that is a thing of beauty. Love the color.

That Seekins fore end is a sweet piece, maybe the ultimate 3 gun piece.

Here are some general groups I shot with the new Grendel last week. They are just average groups with each type of ammo, not necessarily the best groups with each ammo... Note also that the different ammo types were fired at various stages of "break in". I just wanted to see how each ammo type shot.

All shots were from 100 yards.

Wolf 120gr MPT


AA 123gr Scenar


Hornady 123gr A-MAX


I need to give the gun a good cleaning and head back out to the range to try for some serious groups. It is likely to change a bit more though, because at only 80 rounds through it so far, the rifle is far from broken in.

nice groups. nice looking stick.

The Grendel in the OP got a bit of a makeover, so I figured I'd update the thread. Gone is the ARP 18" barrel, in its place is a Satern 20" barrel. I also swapped the ACS for a PRS and the 3-12x44 Bushnell Elite Tactical for a 3.5-21x50 Bushnell HDMR. There are a few other minor changes as well.



I wasn't even finished putting it all back together, but I needed to snap a few pics anyway!

That is sweet dude! What reticle do you have in the HDMR? Nice Cerakote work, whoever did it. Most of my sticks are just a single color as well, while I have done patterns for those who convinced me to do them for them.

[Hooz]

It's got the G2DMR reticle.

The changes were mostly because I wanted to run my MRS-2 suppressor on this rifle, but I took the opportunity to "upgrade" a few things along the way. I'm pretty excited to get out to the range with it and see how much different it is!
