I'm building it off a 22 Nosler I built almost 3 years ago but never shot a round out of it. It has a CMMG lower, a Stag upper & I replaced the bolt with a Monster Grendel bolt. The carrier is the one that was in the 22 Nosler but don't remember who made it. It has a 15" MI handguard & a GI A1 rifle buffer, spring & stock.My first Grendel I built 5 years ago was a barrel from PF. Worth the wait. Mine took about 14-16 weeks back then. Great shooting and fun to shoot.
I've ordered a 20" (+1) barrel from PF on 9/23. The PF site says 6 to 8 weeks delivery. Is that customary from PF or will the wait be longer? Haven't decided on a scope yet. Dang, there's so many good ones to choose from!
I want a 6mm ARC bolt gun too. Hoping Howa will offer one soon.
I have no doubt the PF barrel will perform well. I've never seen anything close to even a mediocre review of their products. That's why I chose PF. I did get my scope for this build... a Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50 LR/T. I've got dies powder, primers & Grendel brass I can resize. The barrel is the last piece ("Jeopardy" music playing in the background
