Many moons ago I fell in love with the diminutive, yet effective, 6.5 Grendel<\/a>. I had picked up a varmint-weight CZ 527 chambered for it, dropped the barreled action into a Bell & Carlson aramid composite stock, paired it with my favorite Nightforce scope, and we were off to the races. Deer, coyotes, antelope, hares, prairie dogs, and even a spike elk in the Idaho wilderness \u2013 the little Grendel became my one gun for several years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What always drew me to the tiny 6.5 was that its short overall length allowed it to fit into 223-sized platforms. This translates to shorter and lighter actions and less bolt travel, which in turn led to less disturbance behind the rifle. Add to that its incredibly low recoil\/report, and a sufficiently flat trajectory within my typical hunting ranges, and it changed how I experienced shots on game.<\/p>\n
