[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1249509, member: 77631"] What do you call midrange to longrange? I have a 243 and my brother has a 6.5 creedmoor. Both are in the Ruger american predator. I to was looking for a cheap lightweight gun, That has the ability to shoot sub MOA groups. Also wanted one I would not feel as bad about banging it around. Theses rifles do that no problem. I have not even worked up a "pet" load for mine yet ( still shooting my hand loads for my other 243 I sold) and my brother is shooting factory amo with good results. My gun was about 439.00 out the door. You can get them cheaper if you shop around. This leaves plenty of room to put a good scope on it., And still be under your 1400 limit of just the gun. I know most people would not be willing to go with a Ruger American. I was not sold on it till I had one and started using it. For the price they are a good gun. Also they have the same basic trigger and bolt as the RPR's. Also another selling point was they are 100% American made. [/QUOTE]
