I bought an AR-15 chambered in 6.5 Grendel and with the proposed sale of more factory ammo in 6.5 G I see a lot more interest in the caliber.  I sure wish RRA would consider this caliber and I was surprised to see your going to be selling 7.62 X  39.  

I think a RRA in 6.5 Grendel would be a winner especially with your hunting varients.  I'd be the first in line to buy at least one more of your excellent rifles.  I'm sold on the 6.5 G as a great intermediate cartridge in the AR platform.  I see this market as wide open.

Thanks.
It's on the list of "possibles".

I emailed RRA this same question before Christmas; the reply was "we have no plans to offer a Grendel".
I hope you're reconsidering; the 6.5 Grendel forum site had someone comment just today that "Man, the Grendel is on a roll in Texas". With our hogs, deer, and coyotes at close to long range, the 6.5 is a winner. If you guys could put together an ATH, Coyote, or Predator Pursuit in 6.5 at a reasonable  price, you'd sell a ton of them in Texas. I think a lot of Texans would like one ( lots of 6.8s around TX, too ), and a rifle from a "name" like RRA would attract some converts.

You're likely to see any/all of the above in 6.8SPC and .204 before you do in 6.5G...but, again, anything is possible.

You can always just buy a 6.5 barrel and switch barrels.

The G has some interest for me but for now I am set with the 6.8 for hunting and with the 140 grainers coming out from SSA for long range steel ringing, I do see it being shot a lot more at distance along with the 7.62

Still want a G though!
