Thoughts on the Ruger Hawkeye Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor? Got a .308. Not a single complaint.
What fresh Hell is this?

What a stupid thread.....op asked a stupid question and starts to argue as soon as guys respond. Now it's about who can carry the heaviest rifle hunting.
Kinda like a chick...tell me about this but tell me what I want to hear...lol Yah - totally outa line!!!!!!! Oh wait.... Huhh???? Thoughts on the Ruger Hawkeye Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor? Should put finished weight with glass around 9#. which is perfect. Aside from weight, how does it shoot?

This thread has become all too funny....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Is that PTG bottom metal, or the GSR piece? Did you have to 'shave' a touch off the receiver where the bolt lugs ride to get the mags to sit & feed right? OP: I love my Hawkeye Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. Its an absolutely brilliant rifle package. It shoots beautifully, is chambered for one of the best-balanced factory cartridges available, and has the best factory/high-production trigger anywhere. Strong as a tank and durable, too.

The PTG won't work on the Rugers with the two-stage trigger. The BM is a Wyatt's. It's drop-in and uses Kevin's own mags...Not AI compatible.

Thoughts on the Ruger Hawkeye Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor? I lopped off my foreskin to save some ozs......... Oh, I also removed 2 granola bars and an extra knife from my pack... and the condoms. My Rugers are now at fightin' weight.

I have a Hawkeye Predator in Creedmoor. I have only had it at the range for a quick sight in session and shot one 3 shot group for accuracy. I shot a .35 3 shot group at 100 yards with the first handloads I threw together. That was off a makeshift rest. It's going to be pleasntly accurate. It occupies an odd niche as an 8 pound rifle with a 24 inch somewhat heavy barrel. It's not a rifle that would be my first pick for a mountain hunting rifle. It'd be at its best when used as a beanfield, sendero, or shooting box type rifle.

Ask all the questions that's already been answered and disagree with what you're told....and yea it turned into who can carry a heavy rifle pretty quick dork....

Thoughts on the Ruger Hawkeye Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor? I don't see anything specifying how the rifle shoots, or that comments regarding weight are not welcome. The original question is above... Pretty open ended. Open ended questions get a wide variety of responses. Thoughts were offered as asked for. Next time, I would suggest a specific question. However this IS the 'Fire and folks will offer things you never asked for.  Just sayin'...
