shooterrex Posted October 12, 2019 Report Posted October 12, 2019 Picked up a 12 inch PSA 6.5 Grendel barrel. Matrix blem upper and 13 in rail PSA bolt and carrier. Still need dust cover and forward assist (or a plug) 3 1/2" flash can. Used my 300 Blackout pistol lower. I am waiting on the lower parts kit to show up for the lower for this pistol. Only shot it at 25 yards with Wolf and Hornady American Gunner. Ran fine with both kinds of ammo. Cutting bullets together at 25 yds with both kinds of ammo.
Belt Fed Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 Looks good, what hunting round are you thinking about using in it?
shooterrex Posted October 13, 2019 Author Report Posted October 13, 2019 The Hornady Black 123eld's probably.
MikedaddyH Posted October 13, 2019 Report Posted October 13, 2019 Shot mine today also, ran 123black also.
shooterrex Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Posted October 29, 2019 Sighted in w/Hornady Black 123's. 195 yds 3 shot group. Mil spec trigger and old Bushnell sportview. Shooting bag for a rest over the hood of my jeep. LaRue MBT-2 on the way. Not sure what glass I will end up with. This is what I will deer hunt with this fall.

My recommendation - and you better act fast - is the Leupold 1.5~4 Mark AR Mod 1 Firedot-G / Firedot SPR reticle scope. Leup discontinued it, and that makes ZERO SENSE to me. Firedot-G is the green dot, with SPR reticle (mil-dots). FIredot SPR is a red dot, Mil-dots. Go Firedot-G if you can. Vendors have that little 9oz bastard, and they're still out there. I recommend that because #1 it's 9oz. #2, it's badass glass - optical clarity is exceptional. #3, it's the perfect magnification for a real "hunting scope" on a short gun. #4 - that green dot in the middle is a life saver. The illum in it is a "constant-on" but it's a "shake-awake" setup. It shuts after time, with no movement, but as soon as you move the gun/scope, it's back on, to the last preset brightness that you had it at. Green dots in early daylight and later twilight fuckin' rock. They blow away red dots. Find that thing somewhere. Here's the model number for that 9oz scope: 115387 SWFA has them right now, and I'm thinking about getting another one, because Leup doesn't make them anymore. They're badass on a 12.5" Grendel. https://www.swfa.com/leupold-15-4x20-mark-ar-mod-1-riflescope-106667.html
98Z5V Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 That's a 1" tube diameter on that scope, and I put it in a Nikon M-308 1" mount, that has 20MOA built into it. With that mount and scope combo, I have a 100-yard zero, and can DIAL the scope on that gun to hit my 850 yard target. The 20MOA mount is the key in that. Here's the mount, which doesn't seem to be around any longer, either - find one... https://www.nikonsportoptics.com/en/nikon-products/product-archive/mounts/m-308-mount-(20-moa).html Here's one in stock at Sportsman's Warehouse, right now: https://www.sportsmans.com/camping-gear-supplies/optics-accessories/scopes/scope-rings-bases/nikon-m-308-scope-mount-wrings-20moa/p/1406950

Either way, that's a screamin' deal!
shooterrex Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Posted October 30, 2019 You're right that one doesn't have the dot. Place in Florida has 7 of them @$298.
