So I've pretty much decided that I want a Grendel as my primary hog/deer rifle. My hunting is all under 200 yards with 90% being closer to 40 yards max. I love the low recoil and good terminal effectiveness of the Grendel.
Where I'm having trouble is selecting the platform. The Grendel was of course designed for the AR. But with the fairly easy rebarreling of a cz 527 or just purchasing the new Howa Mini Action already set up for the Grendel, bolt action is definitely an option.
My thinking is that the bolt guns would be perhaps a bit lighter, easier on brass. But the 527 and the Howa don't have a huge aftermarket for things such as good lightweight synthetic stocks and excellent triggers, whereas with an AR the world of accessories and upgrades are only a click of the mouse and a 5 minute install away.
I'd just like to see if anyone has any thoughts on the topic to help me make the decision.
