I see a standard (blue and walnut) and an all weather (stainless and synthetic) at Ruger's site. Both are listed with 24-inch barrels. A target model with stainless, laminate, and 28-inch thick tapered barrel, weighing 9.5 lb, is listed. No. 1 light sporter with 22-inch barrel is cataloged, too.
Hawkeye sporter with laminate and stainless would be one of the most attractive configurations, but 6.5 Creedmoor is not in there, now.
Savage lists in 6.5 Creedmoor a model 16 FCSS Weather Warrior with 22-inch barrel and a model 12 Long Range Precision with 26-inch barrel weighing 11 lb. Found 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 Rem in a model 11 Long Range Hunter 26-inch barrel, weight 8.4-lb. It is similar to the model 111 below that comes in 6.5mmx284 Norma, but a little lighter. It did not show up when I used the gun finder by caliber 6.5 Creedmoor on their site, but did when I looked for .260 Rem.
Savage lists seven models in 6.5mmx284 Norma. A couple of them are model 12 target and bench rest - long and heavy. 111 Long Range Hunter (26-inch barrel, adj muzzle brake, almost 9 lbs), 111 Lightweight Hunter (20-inch barrel), 110 Predator Hunter Max 1 (24-inch barrel, near 9 lbs), and Weather Warrior (right and left handed, 22-inch barrel, under 7 lb). This would be a different topic.
