[QUOTE="LPRoad, post: 1117593, member: 92075"] Now that I have settled in to my own slice of heaven in the middle of nowhere NM, I am planning a new rifle purchase. I have laid out my own range that gives me 600 yards to play with, so I have been bitten by the 6.5 Creedmoor bug. My trusty pre 64 Winchester model 94 which served me quite well for white tails in Maine is not quite the thing for my new home. I have always had good luck with Ruger products (I once had a Ruger 7mm mag that I had to sell after a divorce that was a .75 MOA rifle even with factory ammo and my modest skills). Anyway, I am trying to decide between a Hawkeye Predator and a RAR Predator. Primary use would be target shooting, but I would also use the rifle for muleys, pronghorn, and (with due regard to the cartridge limitations), elk. I like the price of the RAR, but I am afraid if I buy one I will have buyers remorse, and wished I had just spent the extra $ for the Hawkeye. If anyone has input I would certainly welcome it. I am retired, and my pension check isn't huge, so I do try and save money when I can :) [/QUOTE]
