Has anyone heard whether Ruger will be making a new batch of the American in 6.5 Creedmor? Was hoping to find one, but alas they have dried up.

Thanks.

wow, I would not have thought there are none in inventories anywhere.

Just saw a used one on GB a couple days ago.

They only made them in the Predator model with the heavier barrel profile and factory Picatinny style rail, didn't they?

Not sure why they dropped the LH stainless guns, and more recently the RH stainless Americans. They sold well, thats for sure.

One listed in classifieds now.

That's what I have. They also have a threaded barrel.

Glad I grabbed mine when I did. I waited through the drought last year with notification triggers set all over the place..

H & H guns in warrenton mo. has one

Thanks all. A couple of days days after I posted this I saw a lefty Tikka in 270 that called to me. The 6.5 will have to wait a bit longer.

Oh brother. You're gonna catch hell for buying a 270. That's worse than the CM to some here...

No worries... He can always load the .270 DOWN to 6.5CM speeds... A starting load of H4895 under a 130gr pill will almost get you there...

Yeah, they also dropped the lefty compacts. I found a lefty stainless compact in .308 on gunbroker last night for $350 and snagged it up for a beater rifle. Life is not so good right now for a dude wanting a stainless lefty bolt unless you want a Tikka or a Savage for just under 800 bones.

They're baaaaack. Got a notice from a gunbroker search. Lotsa new ones were listed recently. Now if Whittakers would please put them on sale for the holidays...

Haha...well played, Sir. Well played.

I hope Ruger updates, or otherwise improves the magazines on these. My rifle is one of the most accurate rifles I've owned, including a handful of customs, but the magazine is not very reliable at all. It's just a range toy in its current state.

Call Ruger and have them send you a new magazine, the later rotary mags work well.

I appreciate the suggestion, Sir. However, I'm on the wrong side of the 49th. Which leads to goverment induced complications in regards to firearms and warranty/service. 😉

I may call anyways. Won't hurt to see what they say.

Cheers.
