Thanks Bwaites!

Here's my first 6.5. It's a 16" BHW in .264 LBC, picked up from another member here.. I'm going to end up painting it all to match the bipod. I just threw a cheap scope on it to function test. It definitely needs taller rings. It's darn hard to get a good cheek weld.

I'm very excited! Will be taking it on my first deer hunt 11/1.

Nice rifle, post some pics when you are done with the camo. I want to do mine, but am too nervous to follow through.

What region of the Country are you in? What optics are you looking at?

In in the Phoenix, AZ area although most of my hunts will take place in northern AZ. I'm looking for a mil dot scope with first focal plane. I plan on doing long range target shooting as well as hunting. I have a 20" 6.5CSS barrel on order, but this filled my need for now. =) The only thing I'm sort of stuck on right now is magnification. For hunting, a 4-12 or so would be good, but I might want more magnification if I'm going to shoot to 1000.

Welcome.
Used to live in Glendale AZ. Awesome part of the world.
I have a 6 x 24 x 50 Vortex PST FFP I took off my 308 and put it on my new Grendel.
I think it is the best "bang for the buck".
I shot the 308 to a 1000 with the Vortex and it works great.
