[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 2129496, member: 26820"] I had a 300BO and got tired of it very quickly. Before I bought it someone told me unless you are going to suppress subsonic ammo, you might as well get a 5.56. They were right. I had a Grendel upper for a little while and I really liked it overall. It's the best cartridge for the AR platform IMO unless you just want cheap plinking with 5.56. My issue with it however is that the AR platform is heavy with a 20" barrel and with a 16" barrel the 6.5G is fairly handicapped. It'll still kill hogs, deer, and such, but if I'm going to hunt deer I'll just take my bolt rifle since its lighter and more accurate. If shooting for precision, I'll take my precision rifle that is definitely more accurate and has better ballistics. Hunting hogs is legitimately the only use I can think of that it makes the most sense for. Every other scenario theres a solution that is better suited to do it, and unfortunately for me I dont have anywhere to hunt hogs. [/QUOTE]
