Someone convince me not to buy this rifle -- Ruger precision rifle in 6.5 Creedmore

Forgot to log in.

I am weak and need help.

She needs me.... she told me so.

End times,no ammo.that caliber is rare.all purchases should be in most prevalent ammo.270 22 243.or for good measure go black powder.the animals will all be dead in 6 months so humans are whats for dinner.a tool for every job.me,i like hammers!

Its not like with that gun I'll be shooting rapid fire. A couple thousand rounds will last forever if I'm no longer going to the range.

Also I suspect humans will die off and animal population will explode. Most ppl can't catch a rabbit, let alone a deer. They couldn't even gut and skin what they caught anyways.

I've got a good .22 and a Remington 700 also.

I NEED a long range rifle and it needs me.

Barrette is a callin then.go big or go home.if i was itchin,that russian sniper rifle use to be the "deal"

You must buy this gun because the 6.5 Creedmore is in the continuum and you its champion.

All I can say 4 now.




S Conner.

Stay strong and follow the path And be a good soul.

Creedmoor, not Grendel.

The creedmoor routinely takes down elk, buffalo and bear. I don't need a .50

love that weapon.

I'm looking at 1300 for the rifle and at least 700 in scope if I go cheap with a Vortex viper PST 1.

But, is exactly what I want.

Let me suggest a Swedish Mauser in 6.5 x 55. Accurate as hell at any range you care to shoot it. In Sweden they still have civilian shooting matches at up to 1,000 yards exclusively for these babies.

Ammo isn't hard to find. Recoil is pleasant. Good for anything up to moose. If you want particulars on how to pick one, drop me a pm.

if you don't mind used glass this is a whole lot more for your money

expensive ammo.

are you really a 500 yd guy, or the kind of guy who jacks up their truck and thinks it makes them look cool?

do you shoot your guns or just brag about them on the internets?

It's aight. I had the 308 version the shortest one.. Nowhere to really reach out far around where I live so I got rid of it. My buddy had the 6.5 we both made good groups, the 6.5 has the long barrel

Go buy the damn thing already. BUT(and it was a very big but she had) if your spending more on a rifle than you are in optics, your priorities are in the wrong place. You cant smoke what you cant see................

The Mauser is alright. I have less choices in ammo and I doubt the quality of it compared to Hornady's. Not that i think it's bad ammo, just not machined as well as Hornady's.

With the Creedmoor I get 200 FPS faster leaving the muzzle too because of the lighter weight and modern design.

If we're talking about loading our own ammo then 6.5x55 makes a lot of sense but this rifle seems compatible with Hornady ammo.

I realize the argument for the Mauser is proven reliability and I can't disagree that it's proven it's worth.

I just find myself gravitating to the performance of the Creedmoor over and over again.

I'm pretty comfortable with letting you be the "are you really" guy on the internet.

So I guess it all works out.

I'll consider used glass but not online. I'd have to shoot with it before I bought it.

Yeah the 24". Optimum is 22"-26" and ruger just settled in the middle. Some ppl really love that .308

That viper isn't trash, its a solid scope. It's just the cheapest I'm willing to go.


I could easily spend 2k for a scope on this rifle and it would he justified because it still won't be too much scope for the gun.

All said and done I'd like to escape at or under 2500 for rifle and glass and maybe an Atlas bipod.

I'm looking at the Ruger American in 7.62x39 as my next bolt gun

You know how I feel. We got a lot of stalkers and adding one more rifle to your gun collection really just makes me feel nice and cozy. And now I'm leaving this thread because all your big guns look the same to me.

I personally like the Les baer .264 super varmint... Basically the same round ... about .28 per round .. easy to reload also

Conspicuous Consumption is always cool...

Maybe a nice Garrand 30.06 thumb grabber?
Like owning a jag d-type.

That's all I got.

But my go to battle rifle will always be ptr91.. " hk91"

Yeah ruger made that for all the requests from gun owners for a reliable platform for the 7.62x39. I haven't played with it but it sounds like the demand for it was really high.

Is that a symbol in the deer's mouth?
