[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1105881, member: 55410"] With the Hornady SST 123 gr. ammo, I can get 3/4" groups at 100 yards with a daylight crosshair scope. With the thermal scope, I can get 1-2" depending on the day I am having, the reticle dot not being quite as refined as a crosshair. I have an Alexander Arms upper with a 20" Shilen barrel, purchased from AA. With the particular upper, I get very close to factory spec velocity from the Hornady ammo, just over 2500 fps. The ammo gets comparable penetration to 150 gr. .308 ammo, but with less recoil. So all in all, I am happy with the setup. A buddy of mine has a Model 1 Sales 6.5 that also gets very good accuracy from it out of a 16" barrel that he really likes. He gets a bit less velocity, however. As to brand of rifle, there are a few nice Grendel setups. I am not so much impressed with particular brands as I am performance. A lot of folks build their own grendels, saving quite a bit of money, and ending up with upgraded rifles. It all depends on the features that YOU want. That is the beauty of AR15s in general. They are Barbies for big boys. [/QUOTE]
