Harmon,
Is tha McM stock a standard OD Green? Can you PM me with the specifics of the gun? I have no interest in the Grendel personally. I like that .260 though!!! |

You have a VERY nice set up my friend and I'm glad you got it...I'm a bit jealous. I REALLY want to hear more on the performance that you ring out of it! The two calibers share much in common but really are two completely separate animals. To me...it seems, that the 6.5 C was really built/designed to shine more for the bolt gun and shines greatly there...longer range & harder hitting with reasonable recoil & high retained velocities/energies out to loooonnnng distances. However, it also has completely different rifle platform characteristic requirements. I.E. Especially in the gas operated (GO) arena. While still a short throw action like a .308/7.62 Nato is...it still requires a heavier more expensive especially for GO. (less common platforms.) To me the comparison in some ways is like comparing the 17 HMR vs 17 HM2. Make sense? The 6.5 G was designed for harder & further hitting than 5.56 with short action GO systems with relatively lower recoil and less powder than things like .308/7.62x51 Nato. I.e. Smaller, lighter weight, adaptable, less expensive weapons systems like the AR's. (Love to see it in a SBR Bren or the new Kel-Tec RDB etc.) While not initially developed for bolt guns, 6.5 G lends itself well to bolt action operations...especially short little carbines with mags like the CZ 527. Looking forward to getting my hands on some. Last edited by TOU; 03-01-2021 at 03:55 AM. |

That said, some may think I am crazy, but I like what I see enough that I have decided to sell out of .308/7.62 NATO rifles (3) as well as the bulk ammo (SA battle packs) I have stored up and invest fully in the platform. (A CZ bolt and an AR for a GO until something better comes along. for a GO platform. Quote:
Great input...glad to see I'm not the only one excited to see this. Cheers, |

All this proving once again that shooters are a very diverse group, which is a very good thing...

I like it when manufacturers step out of the box and give us chamberings like this. Kudos to CZ, heck I'll buy one just to support CZ.
It's nice when you go to the range and guys ask what your shooting and you say 6.5 Grendel. ..and they go huh? |

I just finished putting together a CZ527 6.5 Grendel for a buddy.
He bought an action direct from CZ for $450 and a "B Grade" stock that for the life of us we can't figure out why it is "B Grade". Beautiful hunk of lumber and paid $120. We needed a barrel.....Unbelievable but we found one on ebay. A wilson barrel, chambered and threaded for a CZ527! Screwed right on and headspaced perfectly.....$200 The stock was pillar bedded and off we went to the range. It shot a whole bunch of 3" groups at 300 yds...And one hole groups at 100 yds..Took it to Missouri and he shot the second deer of his life at about 200 yds. Went down like like they say.."Hit By Lightning" Just about a perfect walk around deer rifle...... |
