Agreed 100% with Caleb. I hit the subscribe button 2 minutes into the video, very intellectual review and insights. Thank you. Don't stop doing what you're doing.
Great video. I just won this rifle in 6.5CM at a Legacy banquet. Best $20 I ever risked. Can’t wait to scope it up, and go fill out the paperwork for a suppressor.
Great video and excellent information showing how you don't have to have an extremely expensive setup to shoot long range. Thank you for all these videos and sharing your knowledge with us.
Nice review and interesting in that I don't think I've seen anyone else do a short barrel before on 6.5 Creedmoor. Nice to know you still have 700-800 yards with a flat mount. I'd never need more if I just used it for hunting. Thanks,.
I built an AR 10 in 6.5 Creedmoor 22' Heavy Barrel a while back and I now have a 16 Lb Rifle..... Maybe I went overboard a bit, and my research into a new 18' Barrel of similar build brought me here. Always great Videos
That seems like a great little rifle, Ruger does make some nice stuff. Those two groups were darn good, especially the second one was almost 1/2 MOA. Thanks for the lesson, I appreciate the help.
First time on this channel and you did a superb job with this. This is a rifle I was interested in for hunting and long range shooting and you gave me all of the info I was looking for. Now time to go out and purchase.
This Ruger sells at a price that the average working man can afford to pay . One gets a rifle that can be used for hunting and target shooting with no modifications other than a 20Moa base for long range , however if one is shooting out to 500 or 600 Yards a 20 Moa base is not necessary . What’s more is that these Rugers are very accurate into the bargain. Excellent value for money in my opinion .
I have the ruger American predator 18 inch barrel in 308 that I put a silencer co hybrid on and it’s a freakin tac driver less than one Moa all day long . I couldn’t be happier with mine !
Thank you for the review. Excellent job. I saw this same rifle offered online and I am very tempted. I opted to complete a .308 gas gun that has been in the works for a long time. If I get into 6.5cm it will be with this rifle.
A added bonus for the Ruger American Short action platform being Anarchy Outdoors makes high quality replacement bolt handles, a wide variety of bolt knobs, bolt shrouds, firing pin removal tool, Timney makes a replacement trigger for it. Obviously Magpul has their adjustable (LOP & Cheek) Hunter stock inletted to accommodate the American short action and there are several chassis systems available. All in all one can piece together a reasonably priced, reasonably accurate custom kit with all the bits & pieces available for the platform.
Burris Signature rings with their eccentric inserts will also take care of that 0 MOA rail situation, and probably more cost efficiently than buying a new base and ring combo. You can even do some windage truing with them, too.
I bought a American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor to get my feet wet and it’s s solid value now I have a Ruger long range target in the same caliber to try , I also use Vortex optics they fit my budget Leupold priced me out now that I am retired
Nice! There are definitely some great options out there now that won’t break the bank. I love competition among the firearms manufacturers. More innovative products with competitive pricing.
This is the only video I’ve seen with a factory 18” barrel, mine came factory as a go-wild and I added a magpul stock a few months ago it came with a hell of a muzzle-brake too.
I myself think the scratching vinyl sound is a sign of a good bolt. but I have not shot state of the art rifles as you have. Another good video. I'm seriously thinking about acquiring this Magpul Ruger combo as I just handled one at the SMWH and it felt great. Thanks.
Picked one up last year, came with the break. My daughter just finished her hunter safety course. Brought her out for a little shooting, mind you her first time shooting bigger than a BB gun. Set up at 50 yds. 2 shots, first slightly out of bullseye 2nd dead center. Moved target back for 100 yds completed 12 shots. 10 were inside a tennis ball sized group, other 2 just outside. Not bad for first time. She loved it
Good for her sand flea. She will be a great little hunter before long with that kind of training, Keep up the great work working with your daughter which most dad's have no clue on how to do.
My review of my new rifle. Weight as expected, fit was excellent, accuracy was hitting 3/8 inch groups 100 yards with an average scope and a loose mount.. so I would say dam fine as expected just shooter error.
I have this in the predator with 22inch . Put the Magpul stock on it and just found a load it likes this weekend. U do a great job and enjoy ur videos I also just got a 6mmGT spun up for a Remington 700 fixing to put it together tomorrow . I have the Hybrid also and my friends say it's to load because of the 46 caliber can . The run the Thunderbeast and it is quieter. Keep up the good work . Ty
My ruger American predator 6.5mm creedmoor with the hornady eld-x 143 gr has been super accurate, a deer and coyote killing machine for the last 2 years. I've beat the hell outta that thing carrying hunting. Vortex crossfire ii bdc reticle scope. Deer taken out past 300 yards to 20 yards. One shot kills. Longer but thinner barrel than in this test. Gonna try some steel out to 500 this year
Great video! I was wondering about this rifle. My father in law has one and it surprised me at 250 yards with the accuracy. Good affordable choice to get into. Great video as always X-RING
This is exactly what I was looking for. A budget friendly rifle for longer range shooting. Get out and have some fun. Guess I'll have to wait for next video at the long range.
Thank you and thanks for the comment. Rick reviewed this rifle at the same time and released it on his channel. He shot a 3 shot group measuring .32” at 100 yards. This rifle is a shooter!
Great info brother! By the way, heard you guys were in N. C.. I grew up in Rutherford County. Been in Detroit for the last 30 years but still a foothills man! Thanks for the channel.
Really liked the rifle for the type of geography that I shoot. Barrel length will cut down weight and should be quite accurate at 200 to 300 yds. Excellent comments on setting up scope with minimum amount of shells spent. Keep those videos coming. I have been following you for a while now and I have learned a lot. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Nice review. If anyone's looking for a 20 MOA base, EGW and Leopold both make one. I've got the Leupold with an SWFA in the 22" version and have taken it out to a mile. The Hornady Black 140g also groups fantastic, and it's great out to 1000 and 2/3 the price of the eldm.
Thank You Sir! The 20 moa scope mount information easy to understand. I thought the mounts were parallel. I liked that you did not flinch after feeling the first recoil.
Very nice. I have the predator model with a stainless 22" barrel. Was a dealer exclusive. Put it in the hunter stock. I'm completely satisfied with it.
I would worry more about Trans-sonic speed for the fact that many bullets lose stability transitioning from trans-sonic to sub-sonic. This occurs at about 1341 fps according to Brian Litz making this rifle about a reliable 880 yard rifle with 100 yard zero. Good video.
Because of my 308W AR10, I am HEAVILY INVESTED in .30 caliber consumables. Were it not for that, I would give 6.5 Creedmoor a really hard look. With that being said, a Ruger American hunter with a 20 inch barrel in 308 is something I am going to give some serious consideration, since I am in the market for a do all bolt gun in the same caliber as my AR10 that won't break the bank.
Wow beautiful rifle I just got the Ruger Ranch and I learned so much from your video. I wish I knew more about using a scope but im a beginner and you helped a lot. Cheers.
Magtech is making 6.5 now. It's got a longer pointed bullet in cbc brass rather than the sellier & bellots rounded tip bullets. S&B has shown a SD of 10. BTW Polish the raceway takes the sound away. They leave machine marks in there to keep the price down.
I bought that same scope from MidwayUSA. It had decent features, but image was the worst I've ever had. I returned it. Still looking for a replacement...
I bought the American Predator .308 like six years ago. Only $400.00 out the door. Same thing, usually a single hole at 100 yards. That rifle has paid for itself many times over in deer and wild hog meat. Most have been head shots, so no wasted meat.
I'm still looking into this rifle, I want to buy a Ruger precision in 6.5 Creed but their typically around 14 to 16 hundred stock, by the time you buy a few hundred rounds of ammo, a good quality optic, sling and bipod and mount it all you're out upwards of 2 grand, but worth every penny in my opinion, I've personally watched inexperienced shooters hit at a mile within the first 6 round with the precision rifles, but perhaps the American Hunter would make a viable option for around a grand less than the precision model but I'm still undecided at this point.
Great video. I’m picking this rifle up with a viper pst 4-16 here locally in the next week or two. Cant wait to get into to some long range shooting with it.
Very nicely done ✅ I learned so much especially what to expect with this setup out to 700 or so yards Very happy with your video This video 10 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will share it family and friends and they will do the same Best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig Bravo 👏🏻
Love my Ruger American. Saw a video of a guy on Long Range Shooters of Utah do the milk jug challenge with one. Hit the 1000, 1200 and then the 1500 on the 3rd shot. Anarchy outdoors makes some nice aftermarket parts for them. Bolt handles and knobs etc. I put a $10 trigger spring sold on amazon in mine. Takes the trigger down to around 2lbs. Which is all I want for a dual purpose rifle.
Hey Ray for such short barrel a better choice would be sharing 123 grain bullets you’ll probably gain about 120 ft./s and they are deadly on deer and antelope size game
Thanks for explaining what 20 moa base means. 👍 Not interested in this rifle, just the caliber. Regardless, what a excellent job explaining & filming! Well done gentlemen. I will be looking for more of your rifle videos.
This makes me feel better about 6.5 creedmoor. When you keep picking up guns in that caliber it has to mean something. I see alot of 6.5 creedmoor haters out there calling it The needmoor
From Seed To Shatter a lot of people don’t hate it because it’s actually a bad cartridge. It’s just the fanatics that flock too it and hornady’s marketing campaign that soured me 😂
I think it can do better, I know damn well your a seasoned shooter but I think you can take your time more. I’ve seen these shoot .5 moa if not better. Just got into long range shooting and your channel is my favorite
The Ruger American Hunter with the 22” barrel is a TAC driver. I’ve got a project “budget mile gun” with a new vortex 5-25 on it. So far for a total set up that’s under 1500 (scope, rings, Bipod, gun) it’s something that I can use to hunt, plink with friends or loan it to a friend who wants to get into shooting- it’s been great.
I wish they made that in 6.5 PRC with a smidge longer barell. I've been itching to give that cartridge a try with some heavier pills. But that's a great deal and I could use a .308 bolt gun.
They offer it in .308 with a few different lengths including 16.38”. Definitely a nice setup. I hope to see the PRC round gain more popularity in the future.
I like my Ruger American Compact in .308. It has a great trigger and is very accurate. But the stock and the magazine leave much to be desired. Boyd's had a fix for the stock. But a single stack metal magazine will not materialize. I should have spent the money for a CZ.
I've had the same gun for a few months now. I can't get 1 moa with the 140+ grain ammo. Lately I've been using American Eagle 120gr Open Tip Match and it groups 1/2 moa all day. I need to try the ELD-X stuff in 120gr. I don't know the velocity because I don't have a chronograph but I used a chart I found online to get my velocity with a similar weight ammo. I plugged in 2680 into my ballistic calculator and have been able to hit a 3 inch plate at 220 yards with ease. Everything I've shot up to 500 seems to line up with what the calculator is telling me to do also.
What a great explanation of MOA! I learned so much more than I was expecting from a review.Thank you for the great video & editing!
Thanks Caleb and thanks for watching.

Great video. I just won this rifle in 6.5CM at a Legacy banquet. Best $20 I ever risked. Can’t wait to scope it up, and go fill out the paperwork for a suppressor.
These rifles are crazy accurate. As far as the 18" barrel it will still maintain velocity for a 600yrd hunting situation. Keep on.
Great review on a budget rifle. The new version of the Hunter comes as a 20in barrel with a muzzle brake from the factory.
Great group RAY glad to see you reviewing guns that are in other people's budget thanks
Thanks TB. I really wanted to do this review for that very reason.
Great video and excellent information showing how you don't have to have an extremely expensive setup to shoot long range. Thank you for all these videos and sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks Reuben. This is really why I wanted to review this rifle setup. I hope to get it out to long range soon to show more.

What a great review of information in long range shooting, you’re very informative. Excellent video.
Thanks X-Ring 👍🏾

The American series have great triggers from the factory. Considering picking up the 7.62×39 for plinking and maybe hunting
Actually, the cheek rest is adjustable. They sell several different height inserts that you can swap around.
Thanks for giving us average guys some really useful education about some of the basics. keep up the great videos.
Thank you for the review. Excellent job. I saw this same rifle offered online and I am

You make this look easy...... up/down
Right /left, close/far and away. With all the rugers sold this country should have plenty of sharp shooters.

Thank You Sir! The 20 moa scope mount information easy to understand. I thought the mounts were parallel. I liked that you did not flinch after feeling the first recoil.

Great video Ray! I’ll have to see if my Ruger 6.5 will shoot as good!
I am sure it will!
Great review on a budget rifle and scope. Good test. Still thinking im getting the bregara HMR 6.5cm 24"
Magtech is making 6.5 now. It's got a longer pointed bullet in cbc brass rather than the sellier & bellots rounded tip bullets. S&B has shown a SD of 10. BTW Polish the raceway takes the sound away. They leave machine marks in there to keep the price down.
That’s a nice entry level setup! I started with a Gen 2 RPR with a Burris XTRII 5-25x50, it works well. Great vid as usual
Thanks Lonz and thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed this review and the info. Id love to have a 6.5 Creedmoor, but I think I'm going to look into a 6.5 Grendel first.
You can’t go wrong with either one I own both
I own both as well. Both predator models.
Great Video, perfect what I'm looking for.
I bought that same scope from MidwayUSA. It had decent features, but image was the worst I've ever had. I returned it. Still looking for a replacement...
I have a This rifle with a trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 and a Magpul bipod. Can’t say enough about it!
Great video! In fact, I'd like to see this as a series of videos that show what various makes of rifles and calibers are capable.
Oooooff! That sounds expensive ! Great idea though.
have a Ruger American in "Go Wild Camo" in .308, @100 yds, 5 shots is a jagged hole.
I bet! This one shot great as well.
I bought the American Predator .308 like six years ago. Only $400.00 out the door. Same thing, usually a single hole at 100 yards. That rifle has paid for itself many times over in deer and wild hog meat. Most have been head shots, so no wasted meat.

That probably wouldn't be my choice for a scope but The rifle does seem to be a winner at that price point.
Thanks Miles. I was pleasantly surprised by how well this scope tracked. What scope would you have chosen?
@@XRING I would probably used a night force SHV. 4.5 x 14 x50 F1 For the effective range of that particular barreled rifle.
Great video Ray. Thanks for sharing the video
Thanks Joaquin and thanks for watching and commenting as always.
Great content love ❤️ how you explain MOA
Great Video great info on sighting and MOA, Thanks!!
Great video. I’m picking this rifle up with a viper pst 4-16 here locally in the next week or two. Cant wait to get into to some long range shooting with it.
My Ruger American Predator in the MDT chassis shoots really well.
I bet channel cat. MDT chassis are nice.
I have a Hu ter stock on my ruger 10/22 and R700. They are a great replacement for the $$

Love my Ruger American. Saw a video of a guy on Long Range Shooters of Utah do the milk jug challenge with one. Hit the 1000, 1200 and then the 1500 on the 3rd shot. Anarchy outdoors makes some nice aftermarket parts for them. Bolt handles and knobs etc. I put a $10 trigger spring sold on amazon in mine. Takes the trigger down to around 2lbs. Which is all I want for a dual purpose rifle.
Hey Ray for such short barrel a better choice would be sharing 123 grain bullets you’ll probably gain about 120 ft./s and they are deadly on deer and antelope size game
Very true Frank. If it were mine I would probably try to load up some 135 A-tips for long range in this one.
Thanks for explaining what 20 moa base means. 👍 Not interested in this rifle, just the caliber. Regardless, what a excellent job explaining & filming! Well done gentlemen. I will be looking for more of your rifle videos.
This makes me feel better about 6.5 creedmoor. When you keep picking up guns in that caliber it has to mean something. I see alot of 6.5 creedmoor haters out there calling it The needmoor
It really took me while to jump on the 6.5 bandwagon in 2015. However, after 5 years I am thoroughly happy I made the switch.
From Seed To Shatter a lot of people don’t hate it because it’s actually a bad cartridge. It’s just the fanatics that flock too it and hornady’s marketing campaign that soured me 😂
Personally, I like the wrap around camo pattern but that's just me! Great riflle
I think it can do better, I know damn well your a seasoned shooter but I think you can take your time more. I’ve seen these shoot .5 moa if not better. Just got into long range shooting and your channel is my favorite
Thanks Blake. This same rifle put down a .32moa group after the initial shots for the video.
Put a timney trigger in it and the groups will come right down. I get half moa on my 308 in the same magpul stock shooting off the bench
I think you should give your camera operator a raise.
LOL! He was only there for 4/8ths the video shoot 😂😂😂😂

I wish they made that in 6.5 PRC with a smidge longer barell. I've been itching to give that cartridge a try with some heavier pills. But that's a great deal and I could use a .308 bolt gun.
They offer it in .308 with a few different lengths including 16.38”. Definitely a nice setup. I hope to see the PRC round gain more popularity in the future.
Nice video Xring. It was a very fast 18:55.
Thanks Mano 018. I was worried that it was too long.
I like my Ruger American Compact in .308. It has a great trigger and is very accurate. But the stock and the magazine leave much to be desired. Boyd's had a fix for the stock. But a single stack metal magazine will not materialize. I should have spent the money for a CZ.
I've been taking off only the cheek piece to get my bolt out of my hunter stock 7mm Rem mag Remington 700
Nice review. The velocity sacrificed for the short barrel is just too much for me. Nice rifle though.
It has QD points on the rear, thats what that circle is guy.
This rifle would be a good candidate for a area 419 hellfire brake
Great job
I’d give you two thumbs up if I could. Some very helpful tips here.
Good info to add to the data
I wish they made a 6mm Creedmoor like this one!
As always superb Video!
I have the same rifle in 308 and love it.
nice work
This also shows that you don't have to brake in a barrel. just remove the factory conservation stuff and shoot it.
I've had the same gun for a few months now. I can't get 1 moa with the 140+ grain ammo. Lately I've been using American Eagle 120gr Open Tip Match and it groups 1/2 moa all day. I need to try the ELD-X stuff in 120gr. I don't know the velocity because I don't have a chronograph but I used a chart I found online to get my velocity with a similar weight ammo. I plugged in 2680 into my ballistic calculator and have been able to hit a 3 inch plate at 220 yards with ease. Everything I've shot up to 500 seems to line up with what the calculator is telling me to do also.
Good weapon for hunting my brother I like this 🤙
