That's a beautiful rifle. However, I wouldn't expect to pay the $1,337.00 as advertised. They quoted me $1,800.00 for a lefty MRC X2 in 9.3x62mm. And it's not $1337 any more. Price now is $1417.

KK, if you haven't gone full Melvin before, you need to  But re-barreling a rifle you already like has its advantages. As far as the Ruger Precision uh, rifle, your eyesight is probably still too good to allow it.

Have ordered a Tikka T3 Hunter in 204 Ruger from www.eurooptic.comThese guys are excellent to deal with and have outstanding pricing. Highly recommend. When the Creedmoor come in, I'll get one from them, too.

Oops, found it. We like a lot of the same stuff. I'm set on a 60% bolt lift, tang safety this time. Looking for a Browning I can afford.

After 4 tries and hrs on the phone UPS finally learned how to ring a doorbell. Ruger 6.5 CM LH FTW Hawkeye 24" SS dipped laminate stock. 8# 12 oz like it sits with Vortex Viper 3 X 9 heavy but balances well. Dont know about how I feel about the stock but have a LH Ruger Mcmillion Hunter on hand to swap. Fit and finish so so, both lugs equal, nice trigger, will feed MT cases, same chamber size as my RH Ruger Predator in 6.5 CM. Will find out how it shoots next week. ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/kkalaska/Mobile%20Uploads/20170107_175818_zpspax3ph4m.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/kkalaska/Mobile%20Uploads/20170107_175838_zps0jirt2cd.jpg)

Looks like you found yourself a great little rifle.
I had a good friend from Glennallen,AK that passed a few years ago. He spent his winters here in AZ. We did a lot of hunting together.
He was a southpaw. His family gave me two of his rifles. Both Savages.
My wife is a lefty, I'm in the middle of a re-barrel on one of them. Turning it into a 6.5x47L for her.
Dennisinaz is cutting the chamber and threads. Hoping that it's a great shooter for my wife.
Would probably have been cheaper for me to buy a Ruger 6.5CM like yours, but hey, this belonged to my dear friend Larry.

Bedded it in a LH Mcmillion Hunter and shot it today at a brisk 2 F glasses kept fogging and was not shooting well but first 4 shot group 120 gr Horn fact .77". Other loads about 3/4" largest 1.8", and my reloads fit the chamber. ![[Linked Image]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/kkalaska/Mobile%20Uploads/20170109_083704_zpsutsqet36.jpeg)

If that rifle shoots as good as it looks, lots of buddies will want to buy if from you.

Ruger is great to deal with wanted a set of 30 MM rings to mount a SWFA 6 X 42,on my LH FTW 6.5 CM, called Ruger Customer service up and offered to exchange my 1" rings and they said don,t worry about it there on there way!
One reason why I prefer a LH Ruger to the MRC LH rifles Ruger has great customer service.
