I am thinking of selling a 6.5.
The prices will be different because there a big difference in the rifles.
But for fl hunting I don’t know if keeping the 6.5x55 or the 6.5 Grendel.
The g ammo is more common and I have a lot more of it on hand.
But the 55 is cheaper and can handle heavier bullets better ( but here that’s not that big of a concern)
The rifles the 55 is in a kimber sporter for that big batch they did along time ago
The G is a cz min Mauser action the American vs no sights
Honest for the deer I have shot I really could not tell a difference in the 120 of the g and the 140gr of the 55

I like both rifles but the cz trigger is a lot better
And it’s a lighter rifle

If I do sell one it will be to a family member that wants to try a 6.5 so nither would be sold at there top value.for whitetail under 300 ( most under 200yd)
A hog if it comes out during a deer hunt.

What cal would you keep?
 
The Swede

A difficult question. I like both of these calibers. But trigger is something that should not be ignored. If you shoot better with G, then keep him
 
If you decided to sell the Grendel I may be interested in buying

Yes it has the push foward set trigger
The trigger is very nice
 
The swede gives you more options.

The grendel will handle most of the FL hunting options. So just keep both.

Keep the Swede.
