lol....

Looks like ruger is competing with

http://www.mossberg.com/product/mvp-lc-scoped-combos-27776/


I would like to test drive both... I can order the LC in at 1100 WITHOUT SCOPE... with scope idk I havn't priced... Only have 5.56/7.62 but hey...

I don't currently have a .243 Win., this one might be it. I have a ton of Sierra 100 grain pills collecting dust (I like the twist rate on this rifle) along with a bunch of brass ready to go.

Hmm..

Colt has had one for a while made in conjunction with Cooper Of Montana.
Here is mine. Who knew there were hogs in the Davis Mountains... Shot this one while elk hunting.


Just like all Coopers it came with a target.

As of yesterday, for anyone interested.

looks kinda "Rugered" up to me but that's just me....

Any one know why they might have made the barrel length on the .243 26 inches? Seems kind of long for that caliber.

Good question.

I think there are folks at rifle manufacturing head sheds that think they know what they know. I.e. that a precision rifle must have a very long barrel to be a precision rifle. That simply is not true at all. What they did accomplish is making the .243 make all the MV it possibly can. Seem to me there are tons of .243's with 24" barrels doing the same thing.

I'm kind of liking this. Other tan the 10/22 and 77/22 there hasn't been a rifle that Ruger has produced that I've cared for. This could very well be my first 6.5Creed

Doing a LOT of reading and research now, I think 6.5 may be the way to go. I need to try one out, never fired one before.

what barrel twist is their 6.5 Creed? What twist is best in this caliber? 1-8 ??

Come out you can shoot mine.

1:8, 1:8.5, 1:9 all good.

Not sure of the benefit of having a folding stock on a bolt rifle other than storage or transport.

That's why.

Heck these are lighter than three of my bolt actions.

if they took the 6.5 and said look most comp shooters are running 140 AMAX, lets get a good tight reamer for the barrels. These would sell.

if they got to a guarantee of .75 MOA with hornady ammo, i think this would be the defacto rifle for people starting competitions.

A big vote in agreement here. I've gone to all folders for that reason. Nothing better than being able to fit a precision rifle in an ar15 size case for transport in a compact car.

This does everything a $ custom will do for 25% the cost. And no, I know that a jewel, timney, huber, bartlien, defiance, big horn, surgeon, etc are "better", but for a turn key solution this is crazy hard to beat. Plus it does some things better, such as: weight, barrel swap, no recoil lug (TUBB Gun style done right). Heck, I'm kind of pumped that it is a cold hammer forged barrel.

All that said; I hope these don't take off, because I don't want to have to wait for a decent priced one to show up a couple years down the road.

They are also great when you take women and children shooting.

From sniper hide review...

At distance, it’s easy to say, this rifle performs, in the video we have a 1/2 MOA Group at 850 yards on steel. The muzzle velocity with factory 140gr AMAX is 2810fps out of this rifle.

Very impressive.

I forsee demand far outrunning supply. And I am so glad to see Ruger doing this. Building a mass produced rifle that will be right at home shooting small, and shooting far. It will get more people into the arena of precision rifle shooting.

And I hope they call me to teach them how to drive it.

Talked to a dealer that will be getting some in in a week. $999 street price.

Seeing more and more about them, TTAG just posted up a review yesterday, American Rifleman a few days ago.

Yep, my Kimber is going back on the chopping block. Going to see what all this 6.5Creed talk is about.

Dang, gonna be a steel at $999.

The magazine system is very appealing since ai mags aren't cheap.

Bushnell ERS or EXRS plus this Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 CM is calling me!!!!!

A 300 WSM version would be nice too!
