Ordered mine last Friday night. Then with it being a 3 day weekend TSS was closed until Monday. Today (Wednesday) they sent me a tracking number. Pretty decent service.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Had my LGS order me one today. Figured even if it just sits in the safe, I've got it. Probably won't just sit there though... You guys are evil... LOL

Nice.

Well shot mine today, did my usual RAR tune up, rasp out forend till it was free floated, adjusted trigger and cleaned it.

3 3 shot groups at 100 yards, with 2 hand loads, from another 6.5 CM rifle, and one 143 gr factory load.

1. 43 Gr H 4350, 142 Sierra 3 @.475"

2. 143 Gr Hornady Fact load 3 @ .684"

3. 46 GR RL 26 147 GR Hornady 3 @ .923 ". Very impressive for a new rifle with no load work up.

Shot my Ruger LH 6.5 CM Hawkeye FTW while it is smoother, easier to shoot , it does not have the accuracy of the LH RAR Predator in 6.5 CM.

Have a Xtra Ruger American Rifle, Right Hand 6.5 CM Predator, For Sale now that I have one in LH.

Thanks Mark, always said I would buy one when they came out !

That dog'll hunt!

Checked a couple places round here, seems $450 out the door is best it gets.

I picked mine up today.

Very weird trigger, to say the least. It will take some getting used to.

I need to locate some ammunition locally; the places I found online are experiencing shipping delays so it wouldn't arrive before I leave for my antelope hunt in WY.

I really think that the 120gr.or 140gr. Nosler BT will be a winner in this gun - flat trajectory and soft enough for coyotes and pronghorns.

I was in PA last week, Grices Guns was selling Hornady Whitetail 129gr loads for $16.99 a box. Picked up 5 boxes. Others had good luck with the ammo and with the cost of brass being about .50 cents each this was a bargain.

I took one coil off the trigger spring and it dropped the weight to 2.75# on two without touching the adjustment screw. On the third I needed to tweak the adjustment screw a bit to get there.

What was the trigger pull weight prior to cutting the coil off the trigger spring/?

The left hand .223 was 4.5#, my son's right hand Predator 6.5 CM was 4# and the heaviest was a left hand .22-250 at 5#. All three triggers were smooth with no noticeable creep.

About what I did, on the 7 I have owned. All have shot well not a dud in the bunch!

Like the feel of the Hawkeye much more but it takes a lot to get them to shoot about half as well as the RAR!

I placed my order last night.....

Anyone know of a muzzle brake that is smaller and would match the claimed .665" barrel diameter at the threads?


Please God, give me some good tags this year....
