Its about time Ruger offered a 6.5 creedmoor. That round spanks .308 way past 1000 yards. A 22" is a handy barrel length too. For a bipod-resting target version I'd stick with the Savage 12 LRP through.

Hmm. Might have to pick one of those up. Nice light weight for hunting.

The Ruger American Predator in 6.5 has been out there for close to 2 years.

Just jailed one for $399 OTD was $429, ten days is a long time

This has been my most sought after rifle for well over a year just haven't found one in my area. Fondled one in 22-250 and its definitely nice. And how I adore the 6.5

The first generation of the Ruger American were at $300 or so street price after they came out. Hopefully these get down there in a year or so? Be interesting how accurate you could get it.

I wonder how this compares as a range rifle to a t3 lite (at 6.6 lbs, they're not "target rifles," I know). Will the tikka do as well with a hot barrel? I have been wanting something light weight that can double as a decent 600-1000yd rifle... basically I want to have my cake and eat it too.
