Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger Hawkeye m77 predator or Bergara B14

I looked at those two plus the Kimber Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor. Went with the Kimber. It shoots two inch groups at my 260 yard deer target with two different factory loads.


But I still would like a Ruger 77 Predator,the 22 inch barrel of the kimber only gets 2600 fps with the 142 ELDX,the Ruger has a 26 inch barrel which ought to get 2700 plus.

The good news is the 120 GMX Superformance gets over 3000 fps from my rifle and is just as accurate.

If you're going to use the 140-142 grain bullets,a longer barrel is helpful in the small case of the Creedmoor. Get the Ruger.
