Buy your upper. So many choices out there and you can find one perfect for you.
Build your lower! They are easy to do with just a few tools. You get the stock you want as well.
You will save money doing it this way.
There is also several great places that sell full kits.You just add a stripped lower. They have already built uppers and then you just build the lower.
I just finished one of the two I am working on 2 days ago and going to be starting my next one soon.

Uppers can be a little more tricky. Best thing to do and save money AND get what you want is to.

:yeah: I just built my first AR. I would highly re comend it. it was pretty simple.
There are guys on this site that are a wealth of knowledge. Also check out AR15.com they literally have an answer for every question you might have. They also have step by step guides for building an AR.

The 6.5 grendel is legal for big game .264 cal. It will work any place you can pull the trigger :tup:

I don't reload - but might start I got some friends doing it so wouldn't be hard to set up something.
would be very basic though

Much better bullet selection than 6.5 and still run on standard AR15 lower.
I agree, you're pretty optimistic trying to kill yotes at 600.
Even varmints deserve a quick, clean kill.

the 6.5 grendel a reloaders only deal?
