This Larue 6.5 grendel upper is a heck of a deal for an all round rifle. Slap it on a lower of your choice with one of their triggers, and you are gtg. It’s an absolute tack driver. I have qd mounts and toggle between a regular scope and thermal. A Dead Air Nomad 30 is in jail for it currently as well. And no… I don’t use both scopes at the same time [emoji2957]

Nice rifle. It doesn't effect accuracy as far as I know, but your day scope is backwards in the mount.

Sure is lol. Thanks for noticing… I need to swap that around I guess.

Haha! Sorry, what I did as trying to say is that it’s hard not to let that sway your decision.

Grendal all day long!

if you decide the 300blk. route and going short , i'd suggest sticking to 10.5" ... while you can get shorter ones , getting them to run right on everything becomes harder and harder to accomplish.

like another guy mentioned , there is also 7.62x39 .. i made a 10.5" side charge and it runs fine with enough power similar to 300blk ... ammo is or was cheap and available but you lose the sub factor for the most part.. yeah you cn find them if you look hard enough but not like you can 300blk.

anyhow good luck on your build, whatever you decide to pick.

Key is AR and 125 yds. At that range you really don’t need the Grendel that shines at long range. 6.8 is great but it’s been hard to get ammo. 300BLK is ok but best suppressed with subs. If you reload then either the 300 ham’r or the 25-45 sharps. But all in all under 200 yds the 7.62x39 is a beast. It’s nasty on animals. It’s cheap as ur going to find and it’s easy to find. You can buy the expensive stuff or run the cheap stuff. The wolf 125SP and 123-124HP drops stuff like no other. I’m a believe in the X39. I have dedicated more than one season to use only this round. And nothing took a step. Nothing.

Nice looking rifle!

I might go with 300 BLK as I was in the garage this morning and found a couple hundred rounds I forgot were in ammo storage, as well about 500 pieces of new brass.

I really like my BO as a defensive gun but it ain't no hunting gun!

Go Grendel or 6.8 SPC, I like SPC personally.

To late…But curious on why it “ain’t no hunting gun.”

I think the main problem people have with .300 blackout is they go in with skewed expectations. Know it's limits and know what projectile is going to work best with your setup. There is no magical reason it won't kill stuff just fine.
