6.5 Grendel Question

[TB80]

Why do I see so many posts by people saying they would not buy the 6.5G in a bolt action platform? It seems that I see alot of people, both on this forum and other places, that basically say they would only own a 6.5G in an AR platform. I don't understand why they would have that position. I don't see people saying they would only buy a 223 in an AR platform. What's the difference?

I don't have a 6.5G, but if I bought one, I would probably get one in a bolt action platform as I am not a big fan of ARs, especially for kids to use, which would be the main purpose for buying an AR. Can someone offer some insight?

I get why people could love their 6.5G in an AR platform. I just don't know why people would say they would not buy one in a bolt action platform.

Never once have I seen someone say that. Seems it would make sense for you to ask the question to the people who said it.

I believe it may come from the idea that the Grendel is a very good choice given the cartridge restrictions of the AR platform while there are "better" cartridges for a bolt gun. That said, I don't own one, want one in an AR but have also wondered the same.

What kinda mag do you run? Buddy of mine has 6.5 Grendel but it wont cycle more than 2 or 3 rounds at a time.

It takes a 6.5 grendel mag or a 7.63x39 mag.

The Grendel is a great AR platform and to be honest I don't think there are very many people that make a bolt action platform in the 6.5 Grendel so a bolt action maybe pretty pricy.

I have 2 10rd 6.5 mags, never a miss fire yet.

Said it before and I'll say it again...6.5G in AR 15 is a GREAT round/platform. Try it, you may be more satisfied than you think!!
