6.5 Grendel Bolt Action. What's your experience?

I went with a cheaper Savage Axis ii to try out the 6.5 CM because I already have .308’s and 30-06 rifles and didn’t really need another caliber to hunt Whitetails. But, I’m enjoying The 6.5 CM so far and like how it’s performing with 140 gr SST over IMR4350. Haven’t taken a deer with it yet (past in several does and small bucks this year) as this was its first year in the field. The 140 gr load gives me cloverleaf groups @100yds so I stopped there for this season.

One thing I did upgrade was the stock. After walking thru the woods and hearing the hollow stock rattle with the sling mount I made a stock change. Here’s the new look for now and I plan on trying other loads to see how it performs over the summer months.
