[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1618463, member: 5262"] I built a 6.5 Grendel on the AR15 platform. I actually used Anderson Manufacturing stripped upper and lower for the start of the build. Contrary to what some people's opinion on the Anderson upper/lower, my set fits together better than some of the other brands I've seen and inspected. I used the lower with the built in curved trigger guard. My build is setup similar to a DMR. I used the Brownell's/Saturn 5R 24" button rifled barrel (Liberty). This barrel comes with a head spaced bolt. This barrel and bolt are the Grendel II chamber and bolt head space is the 0.136" (type 2 bolt). It is very accurate and shoots under 1 MOA with most loads, and several 3-shot groups were under 1/2 MOA when doing load development. It shoots the Hornady 123 ELDM about 3/4 MOA for 5 shot groups. Overall, this gun build was a success. Very accurate. I've given it to my son, who then used it to kill a 14 point 140 class buck. [/QUOTE]
