Considering a Beowulf

[Glockadict]

For those of you who have them. I was wondering if you like it. What are the Pro's and Con's of the rifle? I plan on reloading the round, what is the best place for supplies? What is the cheapest place to order it? Should I just get an upper since I already have a Bushmaster M-4?

The upper will mount on your existing lower. Midway has uppers, ammo, brass, and reloading dies.

Only bad thing I see with them is their effective range is under 100 yards. But if you do manage to hit something with it, it's going down.

I've been thinking about a 6.8mm SPC or a Beowulf for deer hunting.;b I really don't know what I'm going to do yet.

My Beowulf is my 2nd favorite AR next to my 9mm....I shoot at 50 yards at my local range with my own reloads, and can shoot 1 inch groups all day long....recoil is like a 12 ga shotgun. It would probably make a good deer rifle....But may cause too much damage....to the flesh......

Two shots and you get your half inch group :D


I hear they are good for hunting pigs.

I shot one, and liked it. It does have some kick, but not much at all. the right I shot had a lead weight in the buttstock. The owner said he has shot about 15-20 wild boar with it this yr, all 1 shot kills.

I like my 6.8. I havent done any hunting with it as of yet, but I'm thinking of some boar hunting this yr.

I am even liking the looks fo the 6.5 grendel. Now that wolf is making 6.5 grendel gold ammo, I might have to pick one up too.
