Savage Model 11 to a 6.5 Grendel trandformation

[Trapper]

I have a 6.5 Grendel in my AR15 from Alexander arms and love the way the cartridge shoots and the potential of the caliber as a varmint threw deer cartridge. What's not to like about a caliber that shoots from an AR15 that can hold it's own with a .308 Winchester. Light bulb goes off and I get with Jim from Apache Gun Works and order a barrel for a Savage large shank and found a donor rifle in a Savage Model 11 in S/S. I ordered a Tacticool stock in black, from Boyd's Gunstock and Had the action worked and the stock work done where I had my Marine Corps Emblem inletted into the stock to personalize my rifle. The action, and stock work was done by Shooters Den in Watkinsville, Ga. . The rifle came together with very little work having to be done to fit the stock. Has a steel 20 moa mount and for now a Weaver 4X14 scope. Will break it in as the weather allows and add a better scope as finances allow. Thought you guys might like to see the stock inletting, and how it personalizes the rifle.[IMG][/IMG]

Cool. I've been thinking of building one of my AR uppers in 6.5. Nice idea to do a bolt gun in it. I'm Army retired, but I won't get into a branch war. I like the eagle globe and anchor. Set's it apart from the norm.

Cool!

That rifle should work well with handloads and likely with factory ammo too.

Please keep us posted as you shoot the rifle too!

dadyusmaximus, Shooters Den in Watkinsville, Ga can do the same with any emblem, patch, school logo, etc.. Cost is $150 start to finish. Personalizes your rifle where you think twice about swapping it off or selling it. He just did one for the ex coach of the Univ of Ga. football team.

I'd love to get my drill sgt badge put in a stock one day.

Thanks. I'll save the info, but it won't be before Christmas.

I too enjoy the Grendel. My BHW-barrelled AR can shoot the wings off a gnat. Interested to see your groups. That stock work is awesome.
