So the 2019 Grice limited run is the Predator in 6mm Remington. Not sure why Ruger missed the twist with a 1-9". And with the 6mm CM available with the correct twist, not sure that they'll sell all of the 6mm Rem's.

I saw those and really like them, but I'll be damned if I'll suffer another Ruger and gamble on their crap QC. I'd already own one if Ruger hadn't gone to using customers as the final step in their QC.

Cool cartridge. My ranch drives nails, my buddies ruger americans shoot great. That being said they should just sell the barreled action for much less, those stocks are horrendous. The stock on my sons Daisy 880 is better than the American line. Once you buy one for 419 or 449.......out the door for 500......then you put a 200 dollar Boyds on it........coulda just got something else. At least offer a hardwood option.

6mm is a great round but I would probably just buy a 6mmCM personally

I can't look at the specs from here - did they make these on a short action or long action?

The only long action RAR-Ps that I've heard about were a limited run in 25-06 made in 2016. But even if there isn't a COAL issue in a long action, the 6mm REM doesn't look like a good platform fort the currently popular VLD bullets if the ROT is too slow.
If the shorter case of the 6mm Creedmoor makes it a better fit in short actions than than the 243, going to the longer 6mm REM would seem like a step in the wrong direction.
I'm not anti-6mm REM, as I've had at least one for the past 50 years, but I'm not shooting long VLD bullets in either of mine.

Grice sells as "GotGunz?" on GB and currently has one listed for $399.95, plus $30 for shipping.

I bought a pair with consecutive serial number from Whittaker's that are NIB and one that is scoped and occasionally gets shot.

260Remguy: I looked that auction up on a search and found it: link: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/847710882I thought picture #10 was especially cute there on that site - in that the folks at Ruger could NOT find it in their hearts to mark the barrel with the word "REMINGTON"! The barrel is just marked 6MM! He-he. Kind of a cool caliber (I have owned lots of them including Ruger #1's, Ruger Model 77's, Remington 700's, Remington 40X's, Remington 788's and some customs). Good for the folks at Grice getting some different stuff out onto the market. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

So the "predator" has a heavier contoured snout? Sorry I'm not familiar with rar's , other than my 358, which I like
