Rum Man,
I am still amazed at the accuracy of my Gen 1 RPR. And I and further amazed at how Ruger could give us so much for the price. It still has more good features than any other competitor in the under $2,000. bracket.

P.S.
MACH 1, Then whycome so many hunters have chosen the 6.5 CM??
It began as as a purely competition cartridge. But then hunters saw its inherent abilities in less wind drift and good trajectory (in fact virtually identical trajectory to a 180 gr. .300 Win mag). And a 143 gr. 6.5 CM has more energy at 300 yards than a 150 gr. .308.
