Thanks! I should see the upper tomorrow, not sure when the lower build parts or mag and ammo will arrive, either way, by next weekend we should be sighting it in hopefully. I just have to figure out how to build a lower now.

Thank you guys!

Great score!  To start off, get yourself some Factory Hornady 123gr A-Max loads. See how it shoots. It is increadably accurate out of the Grendels I have shot. I have found it for as low as 18.00 a box. Hard to beat that price loaded and then you will have brass for reloading.

Thanks Big!

Yep, got two boxes coming already! I think I got it for around 19/box. I will be reloading for it in the near future, so Ill work up a pet load that touches itself hopefully!

man, I was trying not to think about that, haha, but I think were about 8-850 completed rifle? That pic shows the upper on his lower, I dont have it in my hands yet, nor have I built my lower. I think the only thing I dont have is scope rings.
