I recently bought a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor, right hand bolt. I'm a lefty but I wanted the threaded barrel to use a suppressor on without adding the cost of the gunsmith. I really like the 3 lug bolt with 70 degree lift and the action sized to the cartridge. This thing will shoot! Still breaking it in and trying loads but 1" at 100 yards is pretty easy to do. Best group so far is about 1/2".
I had thought about other inexpensive guns but ruled out a T/C due to the recalls on so many of their guns and the poor machining of the new Contender and Encore barrels. Their barrels are made in Kentucky now.
My son has a Savage Axis in 270 Win. that I shot before our elk hunt. Was able to group shots a less than 2" at 200 yards with factory ammo.
There are videos on U-Tube with the Predator delivering the goods at 1000 yards and more.
I will probably buy another American in left hand and have the barrel threaded.
