I got my Howa mini grendel back before Christmas and have enjoyed it very much . My 14yo daughter took over it so I gave it to her. At first I put my Vortex 1-6 strike eagle on it and she wanted something with more power so I gave her my Nikon monarch 5 4-20x50 with 20moa warne picatinny base. She is getting close to 1moa . I'm getting about .75 moa . Its one heck of a shooter . She also shot her first deer (doe) with it on Christmas morning. First shot kill 150 yds away with the swift scirocco 130gr , ran about 15 yds then flopped. Since my last post grendel ammo prices have dropped . Federal just released 3 more loadings fusion 120 , gold medal match 130 with berger bullet and 90gr tnt speer . Hornady dropped the Amax for the eld match 123gr and dropped the price about $5. Wolf makes a cheap bimetal load for $5 a box . CZ announced that they will make the 527 bolt action in the 6.5 grendel , Vepr AK offers a 6.5 Grendel . A couple more manufacturers are dabbling with the idea too , so it's looking like the 6.5 grendel is here to stay for a while .
