I decided last minute to hunt deer and elk this year with a AR. Decided to build another 6.5 Grendel/ .264 LBC in a SPR.
Went with a BlackHole Weaponry 18" SPR contour in a 8 twist. Had the Cerakote done localy and mixed to my liking with a combination of burnt bronze and graphite black. It gives it a dark bronze look in the light and almost a olive drab look in the shadows. Turned out to be a solid half moa performer or better, I've been very pleased with it and recoil is almost non existent with the adjustable has block and Fortis Red muzzle brake.

This is the first 5 shot group, rounds 10-14 on the new barrel. The first round was the one 1 moa high out of the group, from a cold clean bore at 130 yards. The next 4 stacked up, a group like that gives a guy confidence in a rifle.

Looks like she is a keeper.
We will see what my brother digs out of the safes. The new 308, 6.5 Grendel and 243 wssm still need there first kills. He told me he wanted to use the new 30-378. I told him fat chance

The .243 WSSM would be fun. I'm waiting on a .243 LBC barrel.

Both of those are awesome rifles! I really want to build a hunting specific AR platform rifle, but I'm wanting someone to get the .300 WSM figured out.

I'll probably take the .450 Bushmaster out a few times when I hit the thick stuff this deer season.

I wanted to build a hunting AR this year really bad but ran into car issues and got the windows in the house replaced. Just nothing left over for it. Next year, i think i will be building a Grendel.
That said if i pointedly do smaller game (coyotes, raccoons) or target cats this year after deer and elk season is over, i will be carrying this.
