6mm Creedmoor rifle, a Ruger American Predator. I really like this cartridge. I'm a huge fan of the .243 diameter cartridges as I own several. No it isn't much different than the old .243, except I don't have to add a custom barrel to shoot heavy for caliber bullets.
I'll now have rifles in 18", 20" and 22" barrels. I might trim this one back to 16.5" after awhile, since I like using my suppressor on shorter barrels. It would then be kind of a faux American Scout rifle. Using high BC bullets I really dont miss the velocites a longer barrel produces.
I should have it in my mitts by the second week of March. The seller is only 3 hours away from me in Golden, but with CO new 3 day wait period it makes a FTF transaction impossible. So I opted to have it shipped to a 30 minute away LGS rather than making two trips to Golden. I'll still only have about $400 in the rifle with FFL transfer, but he was willing to sell the rifle $50 cheaper if I met him at his FFL.
I'm thinking this will be a good candidate to bounce around behind the seat of my pickup out on the grasslands.
