First Grendel (18" Faxon 65G Group Buy)

[gnumadic]

Hi, I finished my second AR and first Grendel build this evening. I grabbed one of the last 18" group buy barrels in January and have been accumulating parts for the last few months. Next up is a lightweight scope (leaning toward a 2-7x Leupold or Redfield since I'll be using it for deer <200 yards mostly). Unloaded it weighs a hair under 7 lbs, but the barrel profile and hand rail make it seem even lighter. The balance feels great. I can't wait to mount a scope and take it to the range.
