It does not need to be match grade, that is just the one on sale. I am looking at a 6.5 grendel for her. She prefers the AR style rifle over bolt. She is currently using a 300 blk, but I would prefer her to be in a 6.5. Her 300 blk has a heavy barrel, she states it feels to forward heavy. She really likes her pencil barrel .223 and shoots it quite well, hence moving to a lighter barrel.
