[QUOTE="el Pollero, post: 2079653, member: 99868"] This is quite possible. I have came quite comfortable shooting a 6.5 Grendel on an AR platform that I built my daughter . It is a bit more front end heavier and has little to no recoil. The other rifle I have hunted a lot is a rem pss, it’s a hog . Saying all that the lack of weight the rifle has is very noticeable to me. Started disliking it last year , had a buck 100yds broadside actually mounted on the back of a doe. Shot off a steady rest and missed. I was ****ed so I walked out after a minute to see if there was any blood signs . Walked over a rise and him and that doe was standing there looking bewildered at about 150 yds . Took a shot in a standing position and laid him Out. . So your thoughts may have something to do with it. That’s why I have thoughts of keeping the action , longer heavier profile barrel , heavier stock . Don’t want it as heavy as the REM but it feels like a toy in my hands . Maybe cheaper to start over . Like I noted in my original I was aiming towards a custom this year anyway [/QUOTE]
