I have to say, I like this new gun... for any of you guys who have kids that want to hunt and are smaller... The 6.5 Grendel is a great round and can be had in an AR-15 if you do not want to use a .223... Been wanting to try the round out so I took it this morning and it did great. I handloaded some 120gr Ballistic Tips over H335... In through the ribs and out through the off shoulder. Deer dropped where she stood. Very impressed with the performance and very little recoil.
