Never fired the Grendel round, so I have no frame of reference. I bought my SR-10 as primarily a reach out and touch them Hog hunting rifle. When the tax stamp goes away on suppressors I'll consider buying one. Overall this setup reads like the "Dream Team". You'll have to make your own decision though.

SGT (Join to see) I would agree with everything except the caliber. I have no experience with the 6.5 Grendel, but have taken lots of piggies with 5.56mm. I do wish I had opted for a good thermal scope in retrospect, but the Gen3+ night scope does pretty well and like the article says the suppressor can be a real game changer when it comes to feral hogs. I really like the brass catcher for reloading.
Here is the rifle I built for feral hog management.

LTC (Join to see) I'm like a chicken, when the sun goes down my toes curl and I go to roost. I don't have a need for a night scope, at this time. Good looking setup. The author mentioned that she thought the 5.56/.223 was a bit underpowered for hogs. What's your take?

I have never had a problem with taking a hog with a 223. It's all about shot placement. I knew a fella that took a bull moose in Alaska with a 223...

LTC (Join to see) - Nice rifle sir! I don't have a scope like that but I have a few toys I could go after hogs with. Daytime only though.

I like it. What barrel twist are you running? I am running 1:7 and generally use 75gr bullets.

The 6.5 Grendal is a great round, but I usually go for cheap. That's why I love the 7.62 x 39 so much. I'm usually getting ammo from .23 to .25 cents per round. Grendal is significantly more.
