    I was very surprised with the amount of authority it hits at 200yds on steel. I hope to test it out on antelope to elk this year.

    Howa 6.5 Grendel

    I just got a pair of these, see my post in the price/value thread. I had the barrels cut and threaded to 1/2x28' then a Suppressed Armament adapter to 5/8x24 cerakoted to match. Not much use yet, but the mini action has a great feel, with and without the suppressor(s). I was thinking of a custom build post, but as they say here, "M4C ain't Facebook!" But feel free to ask questions.

    Here's a teaser pic:

    Haha, I forgot to mention that. It's a cheapie that has a hornady logo on it. It actually feels surprisingly nice, my gunsmith gave them to me until he gets/makes the fixture for the mini action bolt to thread the bolt handles for a "mini jumbo" knob.

    I was intending to have the bolt on mine skeletonized like the Kimber Mtn ascent, however I'm not sure if there is enough material to do so. Are you going with aluminum, carbon fiber, or just steel?

    Honestly after going out shooting with this rifle twice, I'm liking the slip on knob enough that I'm already looking at the next build.... one day an aluminum "mini-jumbo" Tac knob will be put on.

    I have a 6.5 Grendel AR but I've been craving a bolt build something serious. You can buy the heavy actions and a chassis now. 😍
