Ruger American predator in 6.5 creedmoor

[brantwalton]

Anyone have any experience with this rifle? I have the American compact in 7mm08 and that thing shoots pretty dang good. Son has shot three deer with it and I have taken 1.

I like the factory threaded barrel on a basic entry level rifle. Not long ago to get a threaded barrel you had to go to the high end rifles or get it threaded aftermarket.

I have three Ruger American rifles and they are all shooters. .308 Compact just got rescoped this morning and I am going to try it out with some gas-checked cast bullets. .243 is about as accurate as a rifle can be - currently set up with 70 grain bullets for calling coyotes. .22-250 shoots well; the bore is a little rough, but I think it will lap in. The plus on this rifle is a 1-10" twist instead of the traditional 1-14". I sighted it in with 60 grain Hornady V-Max bullets for my son-in-law to use, and I have some 65 grain Sierra Game King bullets that I will try soon. I love fine rifles, but for bad weather and hauling around on my Ranger the Ruger American is the way to go in my opinion.

For the money they are hard to beat. Made in USA also.

The ruger American line has been fantastic in every caliber I've handled so far....like you that 6.5 creed sounds fun! Ready to try it out myself.
The Ruger American Ranch in 223 has been my fav....
