I picked up the 6.5 CM Ruger Predators when it first came out. Locally they were 369.00 and tax. Shot incredible with a pile of 140gr A-Max I have had for some time. RL-17 was a top performer velocity and accuracy wise. I have never shot factory ammo through the 6.5 CM.

I then picked up the Predator in 6mm CM. I was impressed with it right away. I shot Hornady factory loads (108gr ELD-M) through it and several handloads. I think I gave 379.00 for it.

6mm CM factory Hornady ammo (108gr ELD-M) first 3 shot and 5 shot groups from the rifle.

All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.

The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.
