I was looking for a 6.5. Local shop had 3, a Ruger American for $549, Tikka T3x for $599, and a Begara for $649. Ended up with the Tikka and think I did ok. In my opinion the Ruger wasn’t in the same league as the other two for a little bit less money. Couple of $hundred less yes but not $50
I have a RAP in 6.5 and it shoots very well. But $50 more for a Tikka is a no brainer for sure.
