I recently purchased this 6.5 Grendel upper and was told Competition Shooting Sports used it as a demo model. I installed a Timney TG, Magpul PRS stock, TPS rings, Lupy Scope and off to the range I went.I must say Im impressed.Here is 123 grain Lapua hp bullet. Looks like three, but it's four and yes I was afraid to shoot five.No likey the 90 grain speer bullets. The holes circled are shot with em. The holes not circled are 6 rounds shot as fast as I could get back on target from a bench with 123 grain rounds. It opened up the group a bit I think 200 yard targets are next up.

Very nice looking gun . Great group I see you like those targets to. I like them because you can see your hits at long range. Thats makes a nice varmint gun

Who made the upper?

[capitol]

Competition Shooting Sports and they no longer make that specific model which is called GDMR 16 (Grendel Designated Marksman Rifle).I did see one sell recently, unfired for $1050.

100 yds? how do you like it , taken to an animal yet? factory loads or handloads?

Can you post a pic of a loaded 6.5 round sitting next to another common caliber?
