    Hello from central AZ

    Thanks for adding me to the forum. Love the little Grendel round. Don't understand the lack of interest from the bolt action world.

      Welcome aboard!

      We can speculate about bolt maker reticence, but are thankful that Howa and CZ have stepped up to the plate.

      The number of mainstream ammo makers seem to be growing as well.

        Welcome to the forum DragonflyAZ65! I wonder if Zastava USA will offer their bolt action in 6.5 Grendel. They are currently importing the M-85 7.62x39. M-85 looks like a handy carbine and would be dandy in 6.5 Grendel.

          Welcome aboard Dragonfly from sunny Mesa AZ.....
          I thought about selling my weapons back to the government, but after a thorough background check it was determined that the buyer has a long history of violence and is mentally unstable. Therefore could not pass NICS.

              Welcome to the clan, DZA65, from the great nation of Texas! What are your goals?
              Several of the real innovators in the firearms world have started down the bolt-gun trail. Most of the others haven't done anything new in decades and probably won't now. It will be interesting to watch S&W since they split that company to see if they join the innovators or slide off into the sunset.

                Ruger has a 6.5 Grendel offering in their American Rifle Predator series. It would be good to see more American rifle makers get on the Grendel bandwagon. I think Remington's Model Seven would be great in 6.5 Grendel.
                I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.

                  Welcome bud. I do believe a bolt build will be occurring after I build a couple ARs. Lol. I’m tempted to build my bolt in 6mm Grendel though, just for the sake of being a contrarian.

                    AZ65,

                    Did you ever fly or crew on a WS-51?

                        Welcome from Florida’s Spacecoast
                        As LRRPF52 posted ,right now we have CZ ,Howa and Ruger 6.5 Grendel bolt actions to choose from.But ,I expect other manufacturers to enter the 6.5 Grendel bolt action market as the cartridge gains more popularity.
