    @Wingman, thank you for the update!
    In all honesty, I just wanted to revive this Thread!

    It had been awesome seeing everyone elses Eludes/Builds and then all of a sudden the sharing stopped.

    Think Dave was going to give me a heads up in advance of Chassis turning up, so I could drop the Grendel in for some minor tweaks and potentially have it all ready to drop in once Chassis arrives.

    @Wingman, did you ever develop a bag rider for the chassis?

    I was trying to see that Micky. Glasses are at the workshop, so thought I would just ask instead to confirm.

    Had a couple of 6.5 Grendel's out this week with a few mates chasing some fallow. Great time had by all, such a pleasure to carry and hunt with. S&B is a 1-6 power and gets me on target to 500m.

    Thanks, yep it does the job, it weighs almost as much as the rifle at 980gr but clear and tracks well. The chassis was designed around the use of this kind of compact low powered variable optics as there are plenty out there without homes after the Semi auto confiscation.
