SMACK, why did you switch from the Howa Alpine over to the Ruger American Predator?

I didn't switch per say. I had a custom 6.5 Creedmoor built. I sold the Howa, I like Firearms! I would run out of room if I kept them all 😉 I wanted to try the Ruger American Predators. Seeing I have and have shot many customs. The accuracy rumors of the Predator intrigued me. The 6.5 Predator was a solid 1/2 MOA rifle it delivered its share of 1" to 1 -1/2" groups at 300 yards. Just makes a guy stand and scratch his head when a $379.00 buck factory rifle is shooting as well as the McMillan or Benchmark customs on the bench with it!!!
I wasn't looking to buy another Predator but my local gun shops know how to work me. I walked in they ambushed me, shoved that 6mm Creedmoor in one hand and the other hand reached for my wallet. I GOT IT BAD!
When my planned optics get here next week, I'll really be about to get to it with the handloads and see what it has.
