The owner of grendel hunter is a good guy, & very helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with him and purchasing my upper.
Yes great guy.... I normally don't drop names over YT unless I the go ahead haha.
Just picked up a 16" complete upper, your review solidified my purchase. Very thorough.
Do you still like it? I’m looking to get one too.
I’ve only got about 40 rounds through mine, but I am impressed! I am a 6.5 convert!
I'm in the horde also. I was intro'd to this cal by a friend and after deciding to replace my 11.5 " 5.56 barrel. I've gone to 500m after 40 rds, boy what an upgrade. As I cannot use an AR to hunt with(I live in Canada so its not legal), I will be looking at a bolt action in this caliber.
@Claudette Birelyruclips.net/video/lLIOdm8Ieyw/видео.htmlI've gotten my load down so I can sit at my range at 500m, and can 'plink" at a 8" steel. I am able to shoot 1.5 MOA @ that range, I'm getting 4 founds in 5 " but theres always one in the five that doesn't want to cooperate !
Thanks for the review from someone with knowledge as I am in the market for a 6.5 Grendel upper...
And thank you for watching.... and the comment.
This was an excellent review. Thank you for showing groupings with a variety of factory ammo types!
You're welcome .... thanks for watching.

Great review! Thanks for your hard work, loved the video
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you 😊
I just purchased an almost identical upper. I think the only difference is that mine is FDE and Black. I put a rock River dual stage trigger in it. The muzzle brake is back ordered so that is the holdup on shipment. Your review just confirmed my purchase. My son also has one identical to yours. We both went with Athlon 8x34x56. GREAT VIDEO!
How good is it?
@@henryhughes2800 it’s awesome
I love both of my grendel's
Just curious what bullets and weight of bullet do you shoot for hunting??? I've been shooting the 100 or 120gr TTSX but I can't hardly find them anymore so looking for a different bullet around that weight. I do a lot of thermal hog hunting, deer hunting, and long range shooting but I've built 2 complete rifles in 6.5 Grendels now a 20" for long range and an18" for hunting.
I have two grendel uppers from Sanders Armory and one I am building with a Faxon 18 inch heavy fluted match barrel. I am getting insane groups with my Sanders grendels. hitting 200 yard 2 1/2 inch steel plates, no miss 10 in a row. average .612 and days with .4 depending on ammo and wind using Hornady SST, BlackA-Max and American Gunner. I have around 120 rounds of steel Wolf. I fired a few mags and they were pretty impressive also. The Grendel is by far My favorite round of all. Thank you so much . It was great listening to your review.
Thank you for watching and good shooting!!
Good to hear about your Sanders upper as I am leaning towards a Sanders over a Grendel Hunter. Is yours their "Match" upper or standard upper. Currently I think there's about a $175 difference for the Match
@@jeremym4942 Sanders Match. It, and the Grendel Hunter both are great shooters
How has the Faxon barrel performed for you?
Sweet pics. ..you need to pump up the audio though... (some of us didn't wear double hearing protection)
I'm a huge 6.5 grendel fanboy, I like my 5.56 but really tempted to switch everything to grendel I absolutely am happy with this round, I'm saving up for a new scope and I think its game over at that point I mean I won't even consider another caliber I really like 300blk also it's a good round overall I'm a happy camper
Grendel is good for taking deer sized game up to 500 yards.
@@RedvsBluechurch1 , well actually it has the energy of a 308 at 1,000 yards sooooooo
Energy has nothing to do with it. minimum impact Velocity and terminal performance are what you need to research.
@@RedvsBluechurch1 nothing to do with it??? Really I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with it honestly, if the bullet isn't relying on speed to do its job like fragmenting then energy is king
@@stevecampbell3175 energy is a potential. A potential that Is wasted by poor bullet design. If you shoot a white tail with a solid copper slug that produces 4000 pounds of force at impact distance. It still won't down the animal as effectively as a 80gr match round above minimum impact velocity with only 500 pounds of force. EXPANSION is king not energy. Look into terminal balistics. It changed my whole view on hunting.
I would love to find a really good lighter 24 inch 6.5 Grendel barrel/ The Sanders is a bit heavy for anything other than a bench shooter. I would love to add the 120 fps to this round. It would inch it even closer to the 6.5 Creedmoor. I may go bolt in 6.5 creedmoor, but love the AR15 platform and 14 round mags.
Good review. I just got a 22 inch from them
Im also thinking of putting this upper on my stag 15 lower lol. Thinking that id rather do this than spent 1k+ on a new gun without the scope. My question is, would you say its more accurate than a bokt action if not just as?
Could you give a little review on that Athlon scope please. I am real curious if the glass clarity is enough to to see a prairie dog at 600- 1000 yards. Thanks
Midas Tac is great glass...it is just as clear as my Vortex Viper glass. I will have to do a vid and compare them in the future.... Thanks!!
The difference in grendel 1 and 2 is the bolt head grendel 1 has the same depth as 7.62 x 39 the grendel 2 is a few thousandths deeper with less problems if any
That is a nice rifle .
What bipod is that?
Great video! I'm considering using Grendel Hunter myself for a 22" 6.5G Build. ~4 years on are you still happy with your barrel?
what bipod are you running on it? like to see a review of your 12" Grendel build thinking about doing one, and lookng for some info on them. thanks
Its a cheap copy of the AccuTac Bipod.... not bad actually, had it for a year as well.
I will have to do a review of the 12" this Summer.
Thanks for watching !!!
Do you happen to still have this rifle with the Grednal hunter handguard? I'm looking to get the same one but the 19" version that will go with a 20" barrel. The only issue is the Rifle Speed adjustable gas block might not reach far enough out the from of the handguard to adjust it. Could you get me the dimensions of the handguard measuring from the top and the bottom. I'm assuming the 19" will be 19" from the bottom, but if the top is say 17.5 then that would work perfectly. I just need to know if its at least 1.5 inches that the slant cuts off.
I recently got an all matching 6.5 mm Swede Mauser made in 1900 stamped right on top of the receiver ring...it shoots like magic...at 100 yards and 65 year old eyes and iron sights...I fired 3 rounds...they hit 7 inches high and two rounds were less than 1/4" apart...third round went high and to the right 1.5 inches from the other 2 rounds...I'll take that since lowest sight setting is 300 meters...so it would be dead on at 300 meters...I was going to change out front post sight to get it hitting at 100 yards...Long Range shooter said: Why don't you leave it like it is? It made sense...just aim 7 inches low at 100 yards...I left the rifle alone like it was made in 1900...it's a good decision to not alter the sights.
Nice !!!
Thanks for sharing, that is a mighty find for sure.
@@SargesAdventures I bought a rifle apparently like yours yesterday...won a bid on Gunbroker.com Here is the model: Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel 18" Hunter RHU65BLST 6.5 Grendel 6.5 Grendel 6.5. I think it's the same model you have....I'm trying to round up some brass to load up...and a set of dies...I'd like to mount a 2 point carry sling on it...I don't need the bipod...how did you mount that bi-pod is there a mounting hole? Maybe I can put a sling swivel on it some how up front...apparently, I got it $500 below MSRP...it was advertised as a used rifle and I later found out it was New in the Box! lol I think all the bidders felt the same way because it sold for...$1,030.00 on 31 bids...there were a lot of bidders.....It's $1,569 in Alexander Arms web site...I wanted a semi-auto for shooting coyotes if I mis on the first shot, or there are more than one and start running....I figured this would be perfect and planning to load up some projectiles like the speer TNT varmint...I have a night vision scope I'll mount on it....is the receiver rail a picatinney rail? The ad did not specify and I don't see the Answer in the AA web site. It will be a week or two before I receive it...and can check it out.
How did you decide on an 18” barrel? As opposed to 16” or 20” for example?
I have half dozen 16 inch ARs and two SBRs as well....wanted something a lil longer but not quite as long as a 24".
6.5 grendel goodness.
Did you have to make any adjustments to you gas block once you received the upper? I ordered mine two days ago and was curious. Thanks in advance
At first shots no none needed....but then I put in a Buffer mitigation system from ArmaSpec and adjusted it a lil. Shoots like a dream and no buffer spring noise.
@@SargesAdventures I just recieved my upper from grendel hunter. Have you had any feeding issues with your build? I have tuned my gas block, and still have problems extracting rounds and double feeding. I also ordered the 10 round ASC grendel magazine through grendel hunter as well. I dont know where to begin troubleshooting this issue
Hey man thanks for the review. I'm currently putting a upper together on their website. Just curious, what BCG are you running? NiB?
Thanks for the Sub !!!!
I am running a Toolcraft Nib BCG.... Runs great.
Awesome thank you!
Built my dad a 6.5. 22" grindal hunter Barrel he shoots the head off crows from 200 yards
very nice rig.....I keep going back and forth with should I build a 308 or 6.5 grendel....grendal is cheaper to build but ammo is expensive....308 is expensive to build and ammo is plentiful but just little cheaper
I was in the same predicament... Went Grendel just cuz a new upper is cheaper than a whole new .308 but, I ended up building a 308 later haha. Thanks for watching and Good luck either way you go Bro !!!You gota cool channel too.... will have to Sub.
You do realize there is $0.25/rd Wolf 6.5 Grendel ammo right?
Match ammo for either will cost. Start reloading.
The 308 doesnt offer anything over the grendel, except weight.
Reload
@@jonathanm1854 I come from the future. To tell you about the Ruger SFAR 308 😄 only weighs 6.7 lbs.
What is that muzzle brake?
www.grendelhunter.com/product/grendel-hunter-slanted-muzzle-brake-black/
How was their shipping? I've had grendel hunter bookmarked for a year but I wasn't sure.
Was free shipping...when I ordered.
Got my upper in 3 days
Where in Missouri can you shoot that far? I’m local to st.louis and besides friends with property I haven’t been lucky finding a range with 500+ meters.
Family farms, Lebanon MO has 1000 yard range, Mack's Creek has 1000 yard range, Gadsden Shooting Center Iberia has 1000 yard range. Piney Shooting Club towards West Plains has 1000 yards too.
There are several when you get away from the Liberal controlled STL area😀.
Sarge's Adventures thank you for your quick reply! I am very excited to put my new builds to the test
Army is NOT changing any time soon . We will both be retired and not even give a fuck before the Army decides to consider replacing the .556
WRONG....
It is my "day job" to bring the Army the new caliber... we are already shooting it..... just like it was my job to field the new Pistols and Sniper Rifle and Thermals 2 years ago. 😁
www.peosoldier.army.mil/programs/pmsl/
@@SargesAdventures sooooooooo might they be considering the 6.5g instead of the 6.8? I understand it would probably take a cancellation of the current procurement effort and creating of a new but army has done that in the past.
What bore-scope do you use?
The Lyman borescope
Sarge's Adventures I just started my 6.5 build but now you kind of have me convinced to buy that upper pricing out a build and my upper would be like 200 bucks more.
SF adopted the grendel and the 6.8spc isn’t the same as the civilian cartridge.
What about Russian Wolf ammo? Its great ammo
It's good for the money....
I shoot it out my 12" Grendel all the time but I will not shoot out of a match grade barrel.
They want WAYYYYY too much for their uppers... I love 6.5 Grendel and I've built 2 sub-MOA uppers but I'd not look to Grendel Hunter for anything.
Do you even own a GrendelHunter upper?
To each his own... Cheap is cheap for a reason.
I have built over 10,000 ARs.... yes, over 10K easily in my DOD job and personal use.
Fact is, Bear Creek , Radical, and other cheaper companies have more RAs and Warranty issues than most other companies for a reason. Out of the box MOA might be great at round #1 or round #200.... but, at 5,000 or 10,000 not many Cheap Companies cannot hold their own.
Props to you for saying hornadee and not hornaday. idk where people get fucking 'day' out of the name? smh
ouch... Grendel hunter charges twice the price that you can get it else where for
Not really if you look at the quality of the builds... Cheap Bear Creek and Radical Uppers these are not... for a good reason.
@@SargesAdventures what is the main component of the upper that separates GH from BCA? the barrel?
@@bradleys2320 better barrel and reliable upper receiver from Aero that says it all
send the army in to take over the Bosnia Grendel ammo factory were running low low supply 2023 zero supply
I will Guantee 6.5 will outshoot you
