rookie7, great info.
I'm no huge fan of the Ruger American. It's just that Ruger actually makes the rifles in the calibers, configurations, and barrel lengths I want...the other manufacturers are asleep. I got real excited about the Howa and now it's almost impossible to find anything but the 22" heavy barrel model. I like the CZ action too...the Mini Mauser. But the manufacturer interest in the 6.5G in bolt actions is soft while 6.5C is, of course, widespread.
