[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1515637, member: 105102"] My opinion on this is if you are going to go for a shorter barrel, a heavier bullet helps....... I have a Rem 600 in 243 with a 17" barrel for a youth gun and while it works, I have been more impressed with the 6.5 Grendel and 120 gr bullets on deer.....I might be the odd one out, but I really like a bullet exit in case tracking is required and the Grendel seems to kill them just the same and give an exit, with less recoil, and less muzzle blast..... I'm really considering looking for a Rem 700 take off barrel in either 260, or 7mm08 to change out the 243 for, just so that I can shoot a little heavier bullet. I continue to be impressed by how efficient the little Grendel can be, and for a short range deer rifle, I don't think you would be disappointed! I have yet to handle a bolt action Grendel, but I bet they would be a light nice handling gun. [/QUOTE]
