Agreed. I am reading different reports on use of m1a but pmags and acis sound good to go

I think the handguard being an ar15 thread pattern is smart. You can customize to an extent

Looks promising.

fits EVERY MAG basically... wow that is a huge win...

... May buy one then bring it in and get barrel shortened, I think it would be sweet 6.5 with an 18 inch barrel for suppressor...

I would not spend $1200 on a rifle based off a ruger american action. For the same amount of $ you can buy a remington sendero and get much better gun IMO.

Smart marketing...

still waiting for a real world test done by one of us, not a paid media guy..

Why not the regular plain Jane Rugar American in 6.5 Creed?? What makes this "precision" rifle so cool??

The only thing I see is the 5R rifling.

Lots of $$ spent on marketing...Hmmmmm

Who's first???

Can't trust anything the media guys review. They are so bought and paid for, it is ridiculous. Plus, a lot of times, they get preproduction models that are fine tuned by the custom shops to run flawlessly.

Dbm, chassis ( as opposed to a flimsy stock), threaded, accepts most magazine types

ok, still a starter kit

Yes, but a pretty loaded one. It's a cheap way to get into the sport and find out if you really like it.

I handled one of these at the match yesterday. The action was smooth and fast. The trigger was decent but I'm not a huge fan as I don't like the accu trigger which this is similar. After that I watched dieselgeek run it out to 780 with factory Hornady ammo.

Not my cup of tea, especially for a bolt gun...but I can see the market ploy from appearance and chamberings.

I'd like to hear some real world reviews by another board member. If anyone shoots one post your thoughts.

chip in to me an i'll order one... and we can meet up and test it lol...

i ordered one in 6.5 yesterday, should be here in a couple weeks tops and ill give a good range report. chronograph whole nine yards. i shoot at a 1200 yard range, ill run it out as far as it can go.

I just watched the Ruger Inside And Out TV show on this gun. I think for the money they will sell as fast as produced CAMOSAM, did they quote a wait time on yours?

May be on in my future it will definitely get some trickin up done.

They said it will come in .243 with a quick twist to shoot the 105 gr Bergers and such....HUMMMMM

\

Which scope are you going with?

I have a 6.5 on order... but the wholesaler could not give me a date.
None, are in stock at any of the wholesalers I do business with.
He said "could be Middle of August or could be late this year..." Ruger would not commit!

I like the Burris they are running on these at Ruger

I'm looking at my options but it depends on if i can get my ebb sold. but I'm looking between the Vortex Razor HD 5-20X50 or the bushnell XTR II 5-25.

he said a week. and after shipping to my ffl should be here in two tops.

Tough call. I wonder if th gen 2 prices have come down at all...

Make sure to check how many mrads per turn as there is a five and ten per turn one

i called every dealer i could think of in the DFW area and everyone had the same answer, we don't have them and we don't know when we can get one but if you give us a %10 payment we can out you on the list. i just hapened to be trading some stuff with a guy on Facebook who's a ffl in Missouri and he had one in the shop that he just sold and the second was already ordered.

They are selling like hot cakes

With good reviews to boot. Yet so many feel the need to bash the rifle since it doesn't have a wood stock, hinged floor plate, high gloss brass, blah, blah, blah.
