... A "problem" LaRue 18 inch 6.5 Grendel was sent back to us ... owner complaining about accuracy issues. Dunno 🤷 this 5-shot, 100 yard group with McCourt's 120 gr certainly bodes well 🎯 ML

sebspeedcustoms That McCourt stuff is basically handloads tailored for LaRue barrels, is it not? 2 likes

- kyles0uth @sebspeedcustoms I have 3 different grendels that have ballistics advantage barrels and they shoot amazing with any off the shelf ammo. Hornady black and sst shoots sub moa. With that being said I just recieved my larue upper yesterday and I have zero doubt it will be the most accurate grendel I have with any ammo.

- calebfuller8 @lmattaway a good shooter doesn't need a sled. Personally I shoot way worse with a gun in a sled than just on a bipod.

randalripley01 bUT muh gUn is broKe..
pen_sword_consult The barrel is clearly warped.... 🤔 Or maybe the former owner was.
tacticalslings Anytime you get into the "magic" 6.5's ammo is suspect because they tend to be loaded with some really slow powders that may work well in bolt guns but suck in gas guns. Then there is the guy who just thinks if he pays enough it should shoot well even if he can't shoot worth a poop I was recently teaching a class and a guy who claimed to@be the shooter of all time was bitching about his new rifle being a POP. I got tired of it got behind his rifle and put five into a single hole Looked at his and said it appeared to shoot ok for me 1 like

fiesta346 Seems to work just fine I'll gladly take the "inaccurate " rifle from you 😂
recon1212 Maybe it wasn't a gun thing. Maybe it was a dumb optic thing and he didn't BZO his rifle correctly 🤔.
john_mai1 Wow.... people actually send their rifles back saying its not accurate???
magdumpmoravec I love how shooters always wanna blame the equipment, not themselves. Sometimes it is the equipment, sure, but more often than not it's a shooters shitty technique or lack of training or lack of understanding that leads to the problem
fxdbandchill Very rarely can someone outshoot their gun.
byrontabor I think this is why the Southern term.... BLESS HIS HEART was invented lol
him72984 I had the same problem when I zeroed mine at 100yds. My spotter told me I had two of 3 off the paper. Then we walked to the target and I have not messed with the zero again.
henry_bruns My bet is the owner is feeding it crappy chow. A bench gun capable of shooting bug holes can't do better than 2-3 MOA if fed crappy FMJ ammo.
czychris137 Shit I'll buy his gun from you 😍😍😍
billsnearly Must be a loose nut holding the trigger. 🤷

tacconcan @laruetactical ML you need to add a SKU to your product line that is a "suggested" accompaniment when one buys a rifle - shooting lessons!
elviejoe @laruetactical That is my upper. Could not get it to group with 123gr Hornady Black ELDs. I'm not that terrible of a shot. Was doing under an MOA as expected with my LT .308 and Tranquilo. That 6.5 was doing 2-3" at 100 yds. Oh and my wife definitely knows about my LT addiction (posting from her IG account)!
- rplhvac @elviejoe you didn't try different ammo first?
- eadie.steve @elviejoe glad you posted! From my experience with multiple grendels, including LaRue's, is they don't always like the same rounds. If you can get it back and shoot those 120's you may be happy! It does help that Mark is a great shot. Good luck, I love the Grendel!
