22 ARC Upper Recommendations

[22Conch]

I ended up purchasing a complete 18 inch upper from Grendel Hunter. I was impressed with the quality of the upper receiver, bolt, and bolt carrier. The barrel is a Satern Lliberty barrel. It shoots the factory 62 grain ELDVT’s consistently at about an inch with only approximately 50 rounds through the barrel.

I will be primarily using the 22 arc for Coyotes this winter and plan on tracking all my shots. So far I am two for three. I took a shot on a coyote at approximately 200 yards and believe I hit one of the front legs on a frontal shot. I was unable to recover the Coyote, but believe it was killed. The other two coyotes were anchored -shot placement was good on those.

I chose the 22 arc in a gas gun for Coyotes. My big game set up will be the 6mm Creedmoor shooting a Straightjacket armory barrel in a Rokstok. If I had to choose just one gun I would consider 6 arc. But I like having the 22 arc gas gun and the 6 creed in the bolt gun.

I believe there is a gentleman that allegedly shot a bull moose with the 88 ELDm’s recently.

How is the Grendel Hunter upper? I have an older GH upper in 6.5G. Its pretty picky on ammo.
