After using a bolt action 30-06 for deer season the past seven years I've decided I might set up my AR platform for this coming season. I've done some research and I'm thinking the 6.5 Grendel fits the bill as I also want something to do some long range practice with. Here is what I was thinking.
16" barrel and bolt from AA on a mil-spec (maybe CMT?) upper with Hogue free float tube , Harris Bi-pod, low profile gas block, compatible muzzle brake and a quality ~2.5-10x~ optic. Upper will go on a complete Bushmaster lower I already own.
Most of my shots will be within 150yds, the game as mentioned will be deer, but also possibly bear. What are your thoughts?
Lastly, anyone have any input on how much the 16" barrel will effect/detract from the accuracy/energy of the round?
Thanks in advance.
