After many years of leaving my GRSC 1-4 CRS on top of one of my back-up SOPMOD Block II DMR carbines in .223 Wylde, I pulled it off and Quick Attached it to my 12" Faxon group buy barreled pistol just as a place-holder until I find an ideal optics solution for the little blaster.
Here are the goals I had specifically in mind for this little pistol format Grendel:
* AR15
* Compact 27" or less
* Reliable for Close Quarters defensive use
* Supersonic reach to 1000yds with minimal wind drift, as close to 2 mils as possible for 10mph full value wind
* Medium and Large game killer
* 6lbs or less without optics for ease of portability
After my initial testing of this 12" system and using the GRSC reticle again, I was genuinely more than pleased at how easy it was to hit so close to POA every time from 400yds to 800yds. Impacts were all within 2 MOA of POA, usually within 1 MOA.
I field-zero'd it at what looked like around 100yds, but was probably more like 150yds, because all the drop data jives with that once I cam home and ran a bunch of variables.
Anyway, this reticle is so intuitive, you don't need any training to use it effectively. If you look at the 10" circles, they are proportional to the ranges, getting smaller as distance gets farther. Wind bars also are intuitive and once you see your first impact, you know where to hold right away.
This is the range we were on Saturday where I took it out to 800yds. You can't tell, but there's a steel buffalo target at 800yds where the red dot is.
They now have a 1-6 GRSC CRS with better glass, made in Japan by a high-end optics manufacturer.
Even with the Korean glass scopes I have, I'm able to resolve small targets at distance and quickly engage them. I can only imagine what the Japanese glass 1-6 is like.
I went ahead an ordered one, which should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to mount it up on here and do some more long range work with the little 12" Grendel.
