[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1206209, member: 81139"] Heya guys... earlier this year, I bought (2) Ruger Precision Rifles... .308 & 6.5cm. After spending a little time with both... even though I really liked the features and accuracy... I decided to sell both. The reason... I hunt a lot, and these guns felt like carrying a bag of bricks out to my stands. The added weight really could be felt especially when dragging a mutt back out, as sometimes, I hike half a mile to a mile in to setup. So... even though I really thought the RPR was a special rifle... I didn't see how it fit with my needs. Recently, a gentleman that I met online asked me about trading a Ruger American Predator 6.5CM for a Glock I had. I bit the bullet.... and am happy that I did. My son and I got out this weekend and were pleasantly surprised by it's performance. Though I really need to get some smaller rings for the scope to bring it down to a comfortable level, it shot quite well using Horandy ELD 140s out to 500. It was so easy to shoot well... that my son and I have decided that the next time we go... we're going to push it out to 1k. Very impressed with such a light, easy to carry/manage rifle. Tremendous value for the performance... at least in my mind. It's amazing what some of the companies (Savage, Ruger, Remington, Tikka, etc....) are producing when it comes to their standard econ lines. Some amazing shooting rifles out there for a pittance. Here's a vid of our first attempt at 500 yards. Kudos to Ruger. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g-jSDBTw4A[/url] EDIT BY LEN FOLLOWS [ame]https://youtu.be/4g-jSDBTw4A[/ame] [/QUOTE]
