Ruger precision Rifle

"True hunting rifle" definitely not, but if u can lug it around why not? This is similar to the ar10 and hunting conversation. I can shoot this a lot better than my 7mm mag. And the kill pictures w/ the rpr should be pretty cool. Not about to sell the 7 mag though..

Here it is. Now to take it out: (There's some TimK work in that shot :-)

Looks nice, you forgot to put the suppressor on for the pic. ??

Sadly, I now need to purchase a suppressor.

I "hope" it's another month, possibly 2 before my TBA U7 gets here. ROAD TEST

Walked in to Sportsmans on 84th/I-25 just looking not buying, seen a RPR in 6.5 on the rack I blacked out next thing I know I'm driving home with it. So now I have to wait for a scope and ammo, because this was not planned.

Just took my rpr in 6.5 to 1000 yards today. Jumped from 600 to 1k. I was on paper the second shot and pretty stoked keeping it in the black.

What Hoser said. The LR games many of us play are heavily weighted towards long shots from truly screwed up positions. Spotting your impacts is one of the keys to success. The reduced recoil of the 6's is a real edge when trying to stay on target during the recoil cycle, and it comes at a very modest price (if any) in BC and performance in the wind. If I owned two rifles, one would for certain be a 6mm. I'll likely stay with the 6.5's as long as I only have just one if for no other reason than I have all the reloading crap and despise load development. I also think I might someday hunt, and the heavier bullet seems a better choice (like I know beans about hunting!).

Get out and shoot that thing, Scratch. I'm interested to see what is what.
