rural king in Martinsville had one in 243 today
Just curious, what were they asking for it?
1049.99.
I would love to have one in 6.5 CM. While I'm a newbie in the world of long range anything, I have to agree with Tradertator on the "gimmicky-ness" of it. Though not really a bad thing always, and I'll say probably more a good thing than a bad thing for most. Its got a ton of features many people want. Its got a chassis, and features that a person wants on a rifle. Frankly i see that as more good than bad. That being said, lots of people may not "know" it doesnt fit them well, but they buy it because of the chassis etc and there are better options. Thats where my limited opinion stops due to lack of experience....
Mostly I see it as a rifle that Ruger built based on what people wanted, to that I applaud Ruger.
One more question. Is it the enhanced version or the original?
Okay so I finally made a decision, thanks to all of the feedback. I purchased a Ruger Precision Rifle in .308. The reason for the caliber is that A. I don't have the place to go out and shoot past 500 yards. B. Ammunition availability. I know I know, but .308 is a fairly common caliber and I don't reload. The 6.5 is a little pricey. I also purchased a Vortex Viper PST 6.5 20-50 scope. I haven't had her out past 100 yards yet, but it's a nail driver thus far. I agree that it could be considered a little "gimmicky", but I'm must starting and felt this would be a great starting point. Like everything else in the firearm world, we usually start out with something we understand and progress from there. I feel confident that this will get me started. Just my 2 cents, but in this era 2 cents isn't worth #$%^.
Let me be the first to say Congrats!
