I'm getting into long range shooting and wanted a good platform to start with. Quality is everything so I knew I wanted something from a reputable company. After doing research on rifles and calibers, I knew I wanted to shoot 6.5 Creedmoor and now to find the suitable rifle.
After reading reviews and watching videos, I decided on Ruger. Found this one for a great price and nicely equipped with a low round count owned by a guy who works for Daniel Defense.
It's a Ruger Precision Rifle. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. From the factory, it comes with a 24" free floating barrel with a 1:8 twist rate and 5/8-24 threaded tip for your choice muzzle break or suppressor. Free floating hand guard with key mod accessory rail. Folding stock with adjustability for cheek rest height and total length. Double action trigger with pull adjustments ranging from 2-6 lb draw. The rifle is very loosely based on an AR platform, in that it accepts any AR magazine, AR hand grip, and AR stock.
The extras on this one include a Harris bipod, Burris XTR II scope in 5-25x50 optics with Burris MOA adjustable scope rings, DPMS hand grip with palm shelf, picatinny anti-cant bubble level, Atlas monopod, and CTK extended magazine release.
Next gun mods will be a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel and Lancer Systems carbon fiber hand guard.
In due time, I'll be hitting targets at 1500m with ease.
In case anyone is interested in doing this, here are the financials of this build:
Rifle - 1500
Scope - 1200
Bipod - 80
Scope rings - 100
DPMS hand grip - 40
Atlas monopod - 90
Mag release - 40
CF barrel ( coming soon ) - 920
CF hand guard ( coming soon ) - 300
