....was to produce an American Rifle in 22-250 with an 8" twist, how many of you would want one? I wouldn't be among the buyers. I wouldn't expect you to be.

Darrik,
How about getting Ruger to build the RAR in 6 Creedmoor and 6.5 SAUM? With Hornady making brass for them, it would be a great option for a factory rifle rather than having to have a custom built...

Darrik,
I agree with that ExtremeHunter guy.

I own one in 6.5 Creed.... and it's a shootin' SOB. But, I won't buy another one until they get the trigger and stock figured out. Like Billy said, the comb sucks balls. The trigger is serviceable, but it's not conducive to fine accuracy. Swapping those two things will cost you around $250.
I suppose if you wanted a ghetto way to play like the cool kids.... then a RAR .22-250 1-8" would be a good way to get in the game... kinda like the RAR Predator Creed is a great way to get in the Mid/Long range game.
If we were talking Tikkas in a 1-8" .22-250 for $600-$700.... then I'm in for two of them.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

And doesn't the CTR have a similar taco as the Varmint? A bud took 50-cents worth of plastic, heated, bent, and glued to his T3. Quick and easy cheek taco. Looks really good from the side. Only pic I have is below. Jason ![[Linked Image]](http://s27.postimg.org/wt48v94qr/image.png)

Short answer: yes, even though the ol' 788 scrags deer instantly w 55-gr. CLs. Dream list: threaded & fluted, with the interchangeable stock/combs like the rimfires. And next run do .223AI 8-twist in T3 SS Compact threaded extry lite.  Ultimate Truck/Kid Gun! ETA: make Tikker a package w a 6x42 LRD & M1 el turret and: Campfire Ultimate!

Although I have the RAR-P in 22-250 with a 1-10" ROT, I'd probably buy the same rifle with a 1-8" ROT just 'cause.

No surprise there either. You couldn't kill a mouse with a 223, much less a deer.

Isn't this a Ruger question?

True, but this is a project I'm trying to get Ruger to take on...
We'll have plenty of Tikka discussions in the near future! The Finn's are a different bunch. They don't like going out of the box, but they do give answers fast. No games with them -- no maybes. You get a "yes" or "no" in short order.
