Its light and small after using the others for so long. I left my scope off. Nice not having to be so careful with it. Its in nice shape but it feels good to carry a gun that i dont mind if i scratch it

I love carrying the AR, it's light, adjustable, and it's semi auto. I bought the Grendel upper after reading up on a good deer round for the AR15. This is my first AR, and if the caliber holds up to the hype, this will probably be my go-to. I've killed 2 with it; so far so good. Of course there is a downside to both...don't run short on ammo, can't pick it up just anywhere.
