2020年2月4日 · I'm a life-long bolt gun shooter, but until about a month ago, it was only for hunting purposes. I decided to get my first entry-level rifle specifically for precision shooting, and went with the Ruger American Predator. I've only been able to take it to the range twice, so I haven't figured out...

2012年3月15日 · Since Ruger and Hornady already had a close relationship with the Ruger Compact Magnum line of cartridges, it was only natural for Ruger to make production rifles for this new 6.5 Creedmoor. With five different offerings in the Creedmoor line, Hornady has come out with affordable ammunition for the long range shooter or hunter compared to the ...

2019年1月23日 · That said, I'd buy a Ruger, but not an American Predator. If it's in your budget I would upgrade to a better model 6.5 CM, I opted for an RPR in the 6.5 because of the distances my buds and I shoot. You didn't mention at what distance you shoot your .243 at, I'm assuming 100yds, but if you're looking to run out past 6 or 700yds you really need ...

2014年9月27日 · Purchased an American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor yesterday. Out of the box with 3-9x50 scope. Two rounds to get on paper at 100yds. Next four, one raged hole with Hornady Precision 143gr ELD. Time to go hunt. Nuff said!

2020年12月3日 · I'm in the market for a 6.5cm and a local sporting goods store has a Ruger American Predator in stock right now. It isn't exactly what I want, but may work until I can get something different once availability gets better. My primary use will be paper punching, but I do want to get into larger game hunting down the road.

2017年1月18日 · Depends on how hot you load it. A 6.5 Creedmoor CAN be a barrel burner if you are really smoking some hot rounds out of it. But you would only notice it in a match rifle most likely. Hunting rifle probably never see it, plus were are still talking about a lot of rounds to hurt it.

2018年4月8日 · What is your experience with this rifle? Is a good first rifle for the price point to learn the fundamentals? Is it a Ruger Predator 6.5 with upgrades? Does it shoot sub-MOA? Thanks.

2021年12月24日 · I own an American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor and use Hornady Precision Hunter 143g loads. have taken many south Texas deer and hogs with these rounds. every year I double check zero before hunting season starts. first two shots are next to each other at 100 yards, third shot is 3/4-1" away. common with the American tapered barrels to get a flyer as …

2018年7月31日 · I have the same issue with my Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. Some reloading manuals show an OAL of 2.800" for their loads and other manuals use 2.810" for their bullets. My Hornady OAL Gauge indicates an OAL of 2.636" would be max in my rifle.

2015年7月27日 · Researched my question on the web and finally located a recent review of the Ruger American Predator in 6.5 creedmoor. According to the reviewer Hornady 120 gr Amax was the most accurate of factory ammo choices he tried, followed closely by Hornady 120 gr. Amax. The hornady 120 gr. GMX was disappointing accuracy wise, as was Winchester 140 gr.
