Need a Ruger POrecision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor TODAY (June 30, 2016)

E.Shell · Jun 30, 2016

ETA: Found one.

Thanks!I have students coming in from the mid-west and the rifle they had ordered through their local dealer did not arrive.

They are in the road now and expect to be in MD by this afternoon.

Does ANYONE west of the bay have a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor on the shelf?

Thanks!!

Ed, you got real lucky being able to get your hands on a 6.5 CR on such short notice.

E.Shell · Jul 2, 2016

Hey Lou, yessir, sure did get lucky. With the help of some of the guys here, I found three within 100 miles and the guys stopped and got one on the way in Thursday evening. Shooting it this morning.

Have fun Ed and give us a report here on how that gun RPR 6.5 CR performs. If the rifle is really good (and optics and ammo and operator), this should be one of the best 1,000 yard cartridges to date.

Is that the most economical 'out of the box' 1000 yard setup?

Wow, found in less than 2hrs. Awesome :party29:

Forgetting reloading, who makes ammo for the 6.5 creedmoor, and what are the best loads, based on others experiences?

Hornady manufactures ammo for the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Ed will have your scrote and balls flash frozen solid in a beaker of LOX (liquid O2) and break them off with a baseball bat jus' for shits 'n giggles with you making a statement like that, "Forgetting reloading,...."!!! :lol2:

I don't know but the RPR (Ruger Precision Rifle) in the 6.5 Creedmor sounds like it's the bee's knees production rifle at the pricepoint for the 1,000 yard application.

Lou45 · Jul 2, 2016

What is the proper spelling for Creedmoor??? Creedmore??? Creedmor??? In this application???

dist1646 · Jul 2, 2016

Creedmoor. The cartridge was a joint effort between Hornady and Dennis DeMille of Creedmoor Sports.

Hornady 140gr ELD match. I think all four of us w/ RPRs in Ed's first class were shooting it. It's said it's as good as can be hand loaded (is insensitive to the jump to the lands)

So why ARE these things harder to find than a sub2k?

Based on past experiences with Ruger since the mid 80's, when they know they havva' real winner and it'll be in strong demand, Ruger makes'em scarce almost as soon as they introduce them into the market. This way, if they decide to raise the price on that given product, they can and will get away with it b'cuz they know they can and will still sell the product b'cuz it's in demand.

Clever business strategy

So how are the RPR's shooting? I hand load, but hornady match loads with new ELD Match bullets I would have no reservations about.

It looks like street pricing of the RPR is still around $1,100 plus tax +/- $50...?

Didn't know where to put this and didn't want to start a new thread. Dicks in Hagerstown has a 6.5 CM and 308 in stock. $1299

Dance's Sporting Goods in Richmond Va had one of each for $1,249 this past weekend. I am going to wait for sales later this year and hope they are around $1,000 to $1,100.
