My AR15 6.5mm Grendel weighs about the same as my 7mm mag tikka lite, 7.5lbs ish..  Both kill dear easily.

I do, but it never shot as well as I wanted so I'm trying the 270 AR instead. I think my BRX is just a mediocre barrel.

The current issue of Handloader has an article on the slightly larger 7mm Valkerey, the performance puts it rite up there near the 7mm-08. The 22 caliber version really has me considering getting into the AR game.

I believe the 7mm Valkyrie, 270 AR and 257 Bobcat are all based on the same case with different bullet diameters. Any of them would be great hunting rounds.

This is very cool. The 270 AR appears to have a lot of potential!!

Mega billet upper and lower.

I love the side charger. I'll be honest, I hated ARs until I started playing with the 6.5 BRX after a lot of "encouragement" by the member formerly know as BiggerHammer (We still miss you man ) as well as Gunsmith X. Nothing bugs me more than forward assists and shell deflectors so I went with the side charger and I love it! Add to that some of the more interesting chamberings out there right now and I can see a legitimate use for the AR beyond it's role as a mass ammunition disposal device. The 223/5.56 is one of the most overrated cartridges out there IMO.

I'm hoping to get out tomorrow to run another test at 200 yards with the best performer from last week. I'll post up the results when I get back.

What happened to Biggerhammer? Sorry for thread jack.

He faded into the distance because he was so soft spoken and had no opinions. 😆
