The Ruger American Predator rifle is now available in 6mm Creedmoor.
Overview
I haven’t been shy about not being a huge fan of Ruger products in the past, with the exception of rimfire guns. This year, however, has been the year of change. I have heard nothing but good things about both the Ruger American Rifle, and the Ruger Precision Rifle, and that from serious shooters. I finally got to get some hands-on time at SHOT Show, and for once I am looking forward to a Ruger box showing up for a gun review. Two actually.
Ruger American Predator
The American Rifle series has been known since its inception as a very accurate piece. Ruger guarantees 1 MOA, but I have many range reports of closer to .3 MOA and none over .5 MOA from my various friends in the long range game. I cannot wait to get one for review so I can see for myself. Even if you can only coax out 1 M.O.A. though, you are getting a lot for your money. Lightweight, magazine fed, solid stock, and in a wide variety of calibers. The trigger is great out of the box, and the price is absolutely right. $529 MSRP, that is going to be hard to beat. The new variant in the exciting 6mm Creedmoor chambering is of particular interest to me.
Specs
- Chambering: 6mm Creedmoor
- Barrel: 22 inches
- OA Length: 42 inches
- Weight: 6.6 pounds
- Stock: Synthetic
- Sights: None
- Action: Bolt-action
- Finish: Matte black
- Capacity: 4
- MSRP: $529
The Ruger Precision Rifle is now available in the new 6mm Creedmoor chambering.
Ruger Precision Rifle
The Ruger Precision Rifle (also now available in the 6mm Creedmoor chambering) is essentially the Ruger American dressed up in a tactical chassis, and that isn’t a critique. The barrel is a little heavier, and it runs off of SR-25/M-110/Magpul magazines, but the action is the same. The chassis system from first look seems well-designed, and has a lot of interchangeability with AR parts. Stock, pistol grip, and though they don’t specify, likely fore end as well. This gun has already made a splash in the Precision Rifle series, and I am looking forward to testing one in depth.
So what is the new part of this, since those have both been released for some time?
6mm Creedmoor, in both rifles. While most manufacturers are just catching up with a 6.5 Creedmoor, Ruger has already made those, and jumped ahead to the 6mm. Good show Ruger, good show.
