I got one last fall, and have been playing with it a lot since then. I love it from the fact that there is practically no recoil, and it's a good mid-range cartridge. I've shot mine out to 300 yards on steel, and it's an accurate rifle. The drawbacks are that the magazine setup sucks big time, the trigger is a two stage one that can be hit and miss, and the Hogue stock is unnecessarily heavy and clunky feeling. There are solutions to the drawbacks.............you can modify the mag setup or replace it with a better one, you can adjust the trigger or replace it, and you can replace the stock. However, in my way of thinking, you can soon have a lot of money tied up in what was a rather inexpensive gun to begin with. With all that being said, they are nice little rifles, and if one is wanting a low recoil cartridge for a young shooter, the Grendel is a great choice.
