Attached is Ruger's response. Different than what BTF got back on the Grendel chambering.

That makes more sense. Someone in CS actually did a little research before answering.

Click the follow up link and ask if the same answer applies to the Grendel.

So we're 2 for 2. Two different CSRs. Two different answers. :p

The link is dead. Reading further, it says to fill out another form or call.

We stopped by their booth at SHOT, no samples on display, but Ruger does have a lot of SKUs.

as far as a grendel bolt gun i still want a BDL over a detachable mag i figure if i am going to deal with the ergonomics of a mag hanging 3 inches out the bottom of the receiver i may as well just use an AR

Good LORD this sight needs a "like" button. I'm still laughing as I type this out just to say how good your post is.
That's gotta be a recruitment picture!

OK. Yeah . . . um . . . I stand corrected.

Did not know the Israelis issued alive drab skin tight leggings. Nice.
mongoosesnipe - If one wanted the traditional bolt action body, then yes to a flush floor plate. But to compare an AR to a Bolt gun with a mag hanging out the bottom - two different animals.

I was stationed in Izmir, Turkey 72-74. In early 74 my wife and I took a tour to Israel, and I have a photo of a young female soldier down near Jericho at the Dead Sea, standing alongside the road waiting for a bus, wearing a mini skirt, with shopping bag on one shoulder and an Uzi on the other.

Well, my Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel shipped. I should have it by Friday. I'll take some pictures and give it a quick review for you guys.
Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - BluntForceTrauma - 01-31-2018
Sweet! Lookin' forward to your report!
Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - Jmccracken - 01-31-2018
I might trade my 6.5 AR barrel/bolt for a heavy 223 and then buy the Ruger for my Grendel.

Perhaps I missed it, but from where did you order the rifle? Thanks.

I'm an FFL so I ordered it directly from one of Ruger's distributors. They only got 8 of them from Ruger and as of right now, they only have 1 left.

My best friend is an FFL, may i ask what you paid?
Local gun store quoted me $455 before tax.
Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - Frontier Gear - 02-02-2018
$455 is a fair price. The trouble is going to be getting a hold of them. The distributors are out of them already (at least the ones that I use anyways). Here is one for sale in Spokane for $460.

Funny how people see things differently. I would have described the Creedmoor as a Grendel Long.
