Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor

They seem to love it on Creedmoor forum. It has got my attention as well, as I have handled the .308 model (local gun shop for sale at $1379). The $1399 MSRP has been seen reduced to $919 locally to $950-$999 online. It doesn't matter how cheap they are if they are not in stock. Unfortunately, the secondary market on bidding sites and such, where people are asking $1500-1700 are effecting sales by horders and people trying to take advantage. I called Ruger, they said they sent out 25,000 the first launch. They were backed up for 6 months, but now are looking at about 6 weeks. I will believe that when I see it! Sportsman's Guide customer service said they had 5,000 and they were gone in 3 days. Many are replacing the barrel without even trying it out. So for about 1500 they have tackdrivers.

It was designed by a guy at Ruger who they kept telling it would never go anywhere.
I personally don't see the attraction to it, but they can't make them fast enough.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

1) Commtted gas gunners,
2) Committed bolt gunners,
3) the more flexible who like both!
A bolt gun has a classic look and feel even though modern ARs are building an attraction of 21st Century proportions...shootersnotes.com

It is what it is...
I own one and I love it.
I don't shoot it in the rain and mud, don't do pull ups with it and don't hit it with a hammer. It shoots reloads as accurate as I can shoot. I did get one of the first ones....
So it is not an AI or a DTA but it is not supposed to be.
Brought it to it's first NRA F class 300 meters and am pretty happy with the results. It was so windy we put our rifles back in their cases after every string because of all the sand being kicked up.
The results are one of the photos. ( maximum score was 600 )
Can't get the photos to load! I will try again tomorrow.
Now if a Grendel bolt was available I'd get one in a heart beat especially as the barrel change is a DIY project.....

Savage came out with a Stealth Series 10 in 6.5 Creedmore at the SHOT show. I heard they weren't on their website yet though:
While at SHOT show 2016 I broke news of the new Savage Arms 10 and 110 BA Stealth rifles via our social media pages: Facebook.com/GunReviews and Instagram.com/13Cgunreviews . While the 10 and 110 series aren't new to Savage the Stealth is and it shaves down some weight as well as the price tag yet still

I like mine in 6.5 C and at $995 it scratched an itch without spending several thousand dollars. My limited experience has also been half MOA groups with Hornady ammo and just slightly over half MOA with Winchester fodder. Not sure why some are so anxious to replace the hammer forged 5R barrel but the plastic bolt shroud needs to go. I plan to start load development with the box of Hornady 143 grain ELD-X bullets I have in a couple of weeks after I shoot the 129 grain Hornady SST and 130 grain Berger Hybrid handloads waiting for a trip to the range. If everything holds up the next project will be Cerekote.

I had one in Creed. I didn't like it. Felt very nose heavy, didn't fit me good. But that's my personal feeling. I didn't give it much of a chance. Bought it on a Saturday, put 30 rounds through it, sold it on Thursday. I was getting 1 1/4- 1 1/2" groups. I'm sure it would improve, decided to bail instead of setting up to reload, then possibly a new barrel.
The good news is I got all my money back. Love the concept.
