New rifle

[nmc02]

I decided to buy a rifle in 6.5 creedmoor. I bought a Christensen arms mesa rifle AND a ruger American rifle as an inexpensive back up. I heard the Ruger was a tack driver. Anyway, had time today so took the Ruger to the range....all I can say is WOW!!!! I shot nosler ballistic tip, 140 grain. The gun cost under 500 w tax. I highly recommend this gun. Far under an 1 inch group at 100 yds. UPDATE......BAD NEWS....READ MY LAST POST.

Nice good luck with both of them.

My wife has the Ruger American Compact in 7mm-08.  After her first range session, she said to me with a grin, "I've found my rifle."

We have two of the compacts. Great guns but, very loud.

I have a Ruger American in .243 Win and it is a tack driver as well.

People have to understand that with advancements in engineering/machining, it is possible to create a budget rifle today that shoots every bit as good as a rifle costing 4 times more. It may not be as pretty or have the status but it will shoot!

When I needed a rifle for my South African Plains Game hunt, I bought a Savage Model 11. I could have bought a rifle costing much more but how much better than 6 one shot kills can you get?  I knew I would probably only use it once so I could not justify spending more.

The 6.5 caliber platform is an eye opener.  A friend has the creedmore in a bolt gun. I have the grendel in an AR platform. Both are shooters. Hopefully in the future I'll put to use on some deer or pigs.
