6.5 Grendel Rifles

Buying 6.5 Grendel Rifles in Australia

Magnum Sports lists 4 rifles in 6.5 Grendel, all from Ruger and all available today: the Ruger American Rifle Predator AR Mag and the Ruger American Gen II Grey, Gen II Predator and Gen II Ranch. The 6.5 Grendel is a short, efficient 6.5mm cartridge with mild recoil; in bolt-action rifles it suits foxes, goats and deer at moderate range, and some shooters use it for target work.

These are centrefire bolt-action rifles, Category B in NSW. You need a current licence in that category and a Permit to Acquire (PTA) for the rifle; since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once you show you meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years.

The Ruger American Rifle Predator AR Mag is $1,118. The Gen II Grey is $1,193, the Gen II Predator runs $1,193–$1,340, and the Gen II Ranch is $1,340.
