I don't normally jump on the band wagon when new rifles are introduced but this one is the exception
Ruger, in the Spirit of Bill Ruger himself introduces a modest price rifle allowing most anyone to get into Precision Rifle Shooting where most rifles for this game cost $5000 and north to be competitive.

The Suggested Retail Price is $1300 or so but they are already hitting the gun stores for less they $1000.
I got interested when I saw a write up from an individual who normally condemns "cheep" rifles. As a proponent of shooting sports shouldn't be a rich man's sport, I was surprised of his review.
Then I started reading everything I could on this rifle. This months (Aug 2015) also has a write up on it.
I believe it warrants a look-see to any budget minded person looking to get into Precision Rifle Shooting.
It defiantly made it to the top of my " gonna get" list.
Come in 243, 308, & 6.5 Creedmoor. I was searching for a Model 70 Win Action to build a 260 Rem when my wife attended the Gunwerks Long Range Shooting school. They gave her the Creedmoor to use and she was quite impressed. She said it was quite easy to get hits at 1000 yards and beyond, with not recoil. (she had broken back and has 3-rods between her shoulder blades and she and recoil don't play well together)
Since I've been studying the 6.5 CM and pretty much picked it over the 260.
In the NRA article mentioned above they tested three types of ammo, all were under the 1 MOA mark, the average group of the three was 0.76.
Those groups would work quite well on an 8 inch gong past 1000 yards.
I don't sell this gun (or any other guns) I don't own one (yet), I have no dog in the fight except to say with this rifle you don't have to be Donald Trump to afford a Long Range Precision Rifle.
