Looking into the Grendel game for benchrest

[dtp]

Welcome to the Horde, dtp.

Well, there's mention of a heavy barreled bench rifle which prints small groups on this thread...

Biased as I might sound, it is only one example of a solid shooter.

Bedded 22" bull barrel and bedded block, built as solid as one can stand.

Original cost of that upper, sans glass, was:[INDENT]$275 for the barrel
$150 for the hand guard
$90 for the upper receiver
$55 for the gas block and tube
$150 for bolt carrier, w/ sacrificial 5.56 bolt
$75 for the grendel bolt[/INDENT]

Total cost of upper: $795

Little tiny holes all touching? Priceless.

Thanks, so it sounds like no matter what length given I don't have the shakes starting at 100 yards decent groups would be possible with 6.5G. Well I guess by bedded there's more support so less of the barrel is left dangling?
