Are JP Enterprises rifles any good?
JP Enterprises is well-known for their custom AR builds and ready-made rifles, many of which are designed for long-range and competition use.

Is the 6.5 Grendel worth it?
The 6.5 Grendel is a legitimate hunting round. It may not be great in a bolt action rifle, but you could build an AR-15 for hunting around the 6.5 Grendel. It would have longer range and better terminal ballistics than a 5.56mm AR. And it would be a true modern sporting rifle.
