Just threw down some money and a .223 factory barrel for a used Savage Prefit barrel in 6.5 Grendel, PT&G bolt head, and Accustock with DBM set up in 7.62X39. I Feel like I got a pretty good deal on the stuff, considering the barrel is a Bartline. It's good thing I have a unmolested Stevens 200 .243 Win in the safe as well as a NOS SSS Competition trigger, Stockade bolt handle and lift kit, and a PT&G .025" duplicate of the Acculug in my parts box.
It should go together pretty quickly after I send the barrel off to be chopped and threaded 5/8X24. It's a 26" varmint contour barrel trying to decide if I'll cut it back to 16.5" or 18" as I want a short barrel. I might even flute it and the bolt body.
The Grendel has been on my short list to try but I always thought I'd to an AR first.
