new Ruger precision rifle

[Don H]

After its all said and done it will be real close to $1000 ($875+shipping+transfer fee and then of course sales tax on top of that)

Where did you order it from and what's the ETA?

 

[IronMonster]

Brads Guns in Lake Tapps, He did not give a ETA but did say the distributor had them in stock

Just got introduced to this rifle. I would like to put my hands on one as well. Interesting take on the bolt AR. Looks well thought out with the adjustable stock and 20 MOA rail already included plus adjustable trigger.

 

[IronMonster]

I think it would be more accurate to say this is bolt gun that got the AR treatment than to say it's a AR bolt gun.

I'd like to have one just because I can. The folding stock is a meh to me since I don't need the complexity of a creaky ol' hinge, but that apart, it's a cool-looking rifle in a great calibre, even at $200 a hundred rounds....

Explain please? Do you mean $200 for a hundred rounds of 6.5 creedmore? That seems a bit steep. If you are this far in, you should be reloading.

 

[tac]

Well yes, naturally, with seventeen rifles [seven .22 but ten centrefire] of course I reload, but first of all I would have to get the cases to reload, and here the only source of cases is to buy the fairly costy factory stuff first.

And yes, 'odd' calibres like the6.5 Creedmore are definitely to province of the reloader, not that I don't already reload for the common calibres that I already have. If I didn't I'd be a watcher rather than a shooter.

Well geez, get one in .308 then.

 

[Benchrest]

It's been at least a month since I bought a gun...

6.5 or .308

 

[Velzey]

.308! Just because I have everything around 6.5 Creed and its really nothing new!

And why would you have to buy factory loaded ammo?

And if nobody has it in stock its pretty easy to make your own brass if needed. Use .243 brass or .308 brass!

Sheeesh now im talking myself into a 6.5

 

[IronMonster]

I already have half a dozen things chambered for .308 so it's a no brainier for me. I'm sure the 6.5 does shoot flater and faster but .308 is far cheaper! I have bought quite a lot SSA 168 OTM and it shoots better than I can. I have no doubt it will put all the rounds on a 12" plate at 800 yards if the shooter does their part and much of it I paid around .60 cents a round. Cheap enough you can shoot all afternoon and not feed bad about it. Also cheap enough you could lob some out at 1200 yards just because and not feel bad if you only hit one out of five.

 

[tac]

Well geez, get one in .308 then.

Already got two .308's, me.

[Velzey]

Everyone needs at least a bakers dozen when it comes to .308's! They just keep multiplying, when they are alone in the dark I swear!!!

 

[tac]

Things are somewhat different hereabouts..... Right now I have two .308s, two 7.5s, two 7x57 and I'm getting tut-tuts and hmmmmmmmms from the licensing department - something that you guys don't even have - for having 'multiples' of one calibre, even though they are for different types of shooting, something that here has to be justified in law.

You don't even have a law, FGS.

Lucky you, to live in the only country on earth that authorises you, Joe Citizen, to keep and bear arms as part of your written constitution.

Couldn't agree more, sir.

[Benchrest]

Yes, of course .308.

 

[Velzey]

Oh this is pretty good!

I was wondering how the barrel is held in place!

[Member 34319]

I have absolutely no need of one of these, I'll be buying one shortly

Pretty much sums up what I said when I saw it.
