These guns are amazing for the price. I have a .243 compact that is the most accurate gun in my safe.

Funny story, I walked into our local Cal Ranch store a few months back to buy dog food. I always check for available rifle powder when I am there. No powder I needed, but the kid at the counter says "we have Ruger American Predator rifles on sale for $247". Apparently they had too many in .223 Rem. I figured I couldn't go wrong and bought one for $267 out the door, figuring I would flip it if it didn't shoot or I don't like it.
Mounted an old Weaver 3X9 that I took off of a used rifle in cheap rings. Haven't had much time to work with it, but two range sessions resulted in a hand load that'll put 5 rounds in less than 3/4" at 100 yards. The first three rounds consistently touch! She's a keeper for less that $300 with the rings and should work well for coyotes this winter, if it ever cools off. |

Very nice group. The 6.5 Creed cartridge has a lot to do with that grouping.

Just a little remiss that all new rifles are cheap. Miss the good old BDL, and M77
I think I'll buy a Sako in walnut.
