quote:Man it’s hard to beat the performance of a Grendel in that package, especially if you don’t really care about the ability to shoot subsonic. A 16 barrel will give you plenty of performance at your 120yd range and still leave you room for a can on the end.
I think both cartridges have enough power, but 6.5 is more power but doesn’t seem to add much recoil. It does add a few inches to the barrel though. Thoughts?
In a light built the Grendel doesn’t have much recoil. In a DMR build like mine (20 in heavy barrel, PRS lite stock, heavier furniture) it’s almost like shooting a 22.

The poster earlier in the thread may have had boys that age. Mine are young… a few years away from starting to shoot still. I’d just like to get the gun before long (bc I like buying guns way too much) and hunt with it until they’re ready to join in.

My son started on my tikka .270 at 12. He’s been using it for two years now.
