New hunting project..

[batoncolle]

I’ve done lowers but never messed with a upper before. What length barrel should I go with? I won’t be making any shots past 200 yards

12 - 16" for the barrel. If you are running a can, I'd definitely go 12". Pretty simple to put together if you have the tools, and you'd still come out ahead even if you have to purchase the tools.

Edited to add I just checked out the 65grendel forums, and they have a Lilja group buy going now, and you can add a bolt. Not sure how much you want to spend, but that's a nice barrel. You can see the other group buys they've had as well, and you can easily get into a bolt/barrel for around $200.

I am thinking about doing a 6.5 Grendel myself. I agree with everyone that has proposed that chambering.

1. 6.5G

2. .300BO

Good uppers from aero, Daniel defense, seekins precision, rock river arms, and then grand daddy of the 6.5 Alexander arms. To name a few. I have a .300BO rock river arms that I like a lot and (don’t lynch me) a PSA 6.5G.

for .300B0, assuming you want a rifle, I would do 16 inches max. For the 6.5G anywhere from 16-20 will serve you well.

I built a complete upper and lower from Larue for $1k less than what they sell them for. The quality is exceptional and the accuracy is sub moa

I’m not affiliated with this seller. I’m not a fan of Millet scopes but it’s still an awesome rifle.
