Picked up a RPR this past fall and added a Steiner T5Xi. I own a few long range rifles, this guy, for the price is pound for pound just as good as any I've owned or shot.

This is the next item on my wishlist. Definitely going with 6.5, probably black. The only decision left to make is optics. Any suggestions?

How much does a setup like this typically run, including the optics?

Its a pretty american hobby to collect weapons i guess. But what do u like about it?

Does this count as Fetish friday? I like this Fetish...

Beautiful weapon! I love the 6.5 creedmoor and I have heard great things about the Ruger. Do you handload for it?

I've been wanting a rifle in creedmoor for a few years now! I'm so envious!

Beautiful.

How do you like the 6.5 round?
USAbrams1991
It's capabale of hitting targets at 1 mile, I'm not anywhere close yet, but the challenge is great. This is my 1st 6.5, but it's good.

Benefits of the 6.5 vs 7.62?

It's a flatter shooting round. More accurate.
USAbrams1991
Lighter grain bullet with more energy and velocity.

Serious question: What do you do with something like that? I assume you go to a range somewhere - can't shoot it in your backyard.
DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
But I assume you need range with a lot of distance to be able to do it justice. Are their many such places available?
USAbrams1991
I have friends who have a 1000 yard range set up on their property. But yeah, normally around here, 300 yards is max at a range.

Defend your house from burglars, before they even manage to glance towards your yard.

Thanks. I've heard good things about the rifle and the caliber. :)

Ruger is coming out with a 6mm creedmoor now too. That ammo is going to be a bitch to find. 6.5 Hornady is what I'm shooting, expensive.
TallLightnHandsome
That's the complaint I've heard against 6.5 Creedmoor.
USAbrams1991
I'm a Gun Tech part time for a major outdoor retailer and we carry 2-3 different boxes of 6.5. I shoot Hornady Match

6.5 comparison to a 5.56.

Does it hurt a lot?

About the same as a 308, but it's faster
CobraDBlade
God I wish Ruger made a left handed version of that gun. Almost no love for the southpaw in the firearm world :(
TylerPowell89
Lefty here. I actually like shooting a right handed rifle. It's easier to see in the chamber and if you practice you can be just as fast
ViscountGarnock
I'm right there with ya. I bought a Savage. 300 Win Mag strictly because it was a left handed model.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
I have a savage .300 win mag as well. I do like me some savage rifles
vanblark
Why don't you just stop being a little bitch about it. There's children in Africa that don't even have a Ruger precision rifle.
CobraDBlade
True. They have to make due with G3s and AK47s.
