[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1501236, member: 10291"] I purchased a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 CM when it was introduced, with the intention jumping into the PRS sport. With well over 1000 rounds fired, this rifle continues to be exceptionally accurate whether using the Hornady ElD hunting/Match, or handloads. There are several shooters at our matches that have similar experiences with this rifle, that is fully capable of winning matches. Subjected to match use you can expect the barrel to last 2000-2500 rounds. While the trigger and buttstock was fine, it was easy enough to install a Timney 1.5# trigger, and any one of the numerous AR style butt sticks available. It should be kept in mind that depending on the type of scope used, this rifle is fairly heavy, 14+ pounds. As an entry to long range shooting, or a desire to get into the PRS game, IMO, it is an excellent starting point. If hunting was on the menu, the heavy weight and bulky geometry could be concern. Shown: Factory Hornady ELD-M, and 142SMK handload, both 200 yards. [ATTACH]109094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]109095[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
