Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor

54rndball · May 6, 2018

I have been getting some info on the Ruger in 6.5 Creedmore. It looks like quite a rifle, shooting sub-MOA groups with this 6mm round. Although I have more rifles than I need already, it looks like a good deal at the low end of the price point. Unfortunately, not many places to go varmint hunting in Balto County. Anybody hear shoot the 6.5 Creedmore and can give us the good news on this rifle?

I have this Ruger American Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor with GoWild I-M Brush Camo Stock and AI-Style Magazine. I like it a lot but I'm not that great a shot. I have not tested it in my Caldwell Lead Sled but think it would be Sub-MOA. Here is one of my shooting videos:

I have the Ruger American Predator in 6.5CM and it is an accurate rifle for sure, BUT the stock leaves a LOT to be desired. It flexes like mad. For the money, I would buy the Thompson Center Compass. It's currently less expensive than the RAP and the stocks are solid. The only advantage the RAP has right now is the ability to use AICS mags.

I will eventually get a Boyd's stock or a chassis for my RAP, which no longer makes it an inexpensive shooter.

I have the RAP and the first time out it shot just a tick over 1/2" group with Hornady Precision Hunter 143 ELD-X.

Do you have the new modular stock or the non-modular stock? The current stocks have much more rigidity due to some changes in the design that were incorporated at the same time as the modular magazine well.

I don't really measure groups. I do know that it can hit reliably at 1000 yards though.

And the stock is fine. Jack shave off the inside if it's touching the barrel.
