Ruger precision Rifle

[jmg8550]

Interested in one of these but which calibre? Ive always shot .308 but the Creedmoor and .243 seem interesting. Longer range/less recoil with that 6.5 but... Half/third the barrel life of .308 and 3x as much for ammo. Hate paying $1.50 per rd for each pull of the trigger. Damn decisions.

Hornady 6.5 140gr A-Max at Mile High is $26.99 per box or $260 per case vs. $29.99 per box of FGMM 175gr match. Or $32 for 178gr Hornady A-Max match. So the Creedmoor is cheaper. Mile High is in Erie, not a very far drive.

Barrels are a consumable item, and several companies have prefit barrels now.

I'm patiently waiting for Ruger to release a left hand version.
