    New guy from Iowa...greetings all!

    I have been thinking about joining you all for a while, glad to finally be here.

    I got interested in the Grendel a few years ago, but was really interested in a bolt gun. At that time I was thinking the Ruger American Ranch would have been a great rifle...I guess Ruger does too now. I could not make up my mind which bolt gun I wanted then (CZ, RAP or Howa) so I built an AR instead (my first) and really liked it. So, that made me want a CZ 527 American, loved it! Then when I was considering a Howa , Ruger actually came out with the Ranch gun in Grendel! So I bought the Howa anyway. Go figure huh? I have been loading the cartridge too...really accurate loads possible! So that’s my Grendel story...so far!

        Welcome to the forum AgedWarrior! It’s amazing how Grendels multiply.

              Hah! Yeah, I am noticing they multiply as fast as my .44 mag revolvers did some years back. And they need fed and cared for too! Loads of fun though!

                Currently abiding in NW Iowa (close enough to Minnesota that it feels like it all winter long ), but if all goes well we are moving to west Texas this summer. Goals? Currently I am having a lot of fun with the Grendel in both AR and bolt rifles. Kinda like to keep that up. I hope to do more hunting before I get too old to enjoy it. My Grendel AR is really fun with prairie dogs. Once I leave Iowa (land of straight walled cartridge dementia) I hope to hunt a bit more with the Howa. And I always enjoy loading and developing the best load for any given firearm.

                          Well! AW, come on down! What part of Paradise are you headed for? There are a lot of inexpensive places to land, once you get west of Ft Worth.

                            In actuality it is northwest Texas, Littlefield. It is about 35 miles northwest of Lubbock.

                              Hoping to settle in Littlefield, a bit northwest of Lubbock. Property is quite reasonable...great community.
