I was thinking Blackout for a 100 yd woods gun. I’d shoot Supers and if I’m fretting over a $300 upper, I doubt I’ll be buying a can.

Don't over look the 7.62x39. This has quickly become my favorite AR I have. It's a toss up between it and the Grendel. Does 7.62 x 39 require special magazines? I am debating between a rifle length 7.62 or a 10.5” in 5.56

I am debating between a rifle length 7.62 or a 10.5” in 5.56 I got the 10rd C- products mags for mine and my buddy's. I had an issue with one mag that wouldn't feed right. All the others feed perfect. The one mag would release the 5th and 6th round at the same time. Did the same when I tried it in the Grendel. I chunked that in the junk drawer.

I think that’s the beauty of .300 BO. No modifications required.

This is very true. You could also just do a barrel swap. Bear Creek Arsensl has good barrels for a very good price. Changing a barrel is very simple.

I hadn’t purchased it yet, but I’m keeping the .223 and going to buy a .300 Blackout Upper when I get some scratch together.
The new dilemma is whether I hang onto the Browning A-Bolt .270. It’s got the finest trigger of any rifle I’ve ever owned. But I’ve shot 7-08, .308, .243 and 6.5 for the last 10 years or so. I’ve become recoil averse. I know you don’t feel it shooting at game but I like to enjoy shooting my guns.
If anyone had a short action A-Bolt they’d like to trade for this.270, I’d entertain it. Mine is a well worn composite stalker.
