Hey guys, we're done with work back out on the range here and we're going to do a review here of the Ruger American Predator Rifle in the chamber in 6.5 Creedmoor. Hey guys, I just got back from the range doing the review of this American Predator Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm really embarrassed. I did not turn the boom on on my microphone out there at the range, which is where I started the review. So I'm going to have to voice over some of this, which I hate to do. So this review is going to be sort of piece together and I'm sorry about that. But I did get some good footage, some good audio, some good pictures and I want to tell you more about the gun. And so let me just put this up here in the gun rack. Alright guys, I hate doing this voice over, but let's give it a shot. Here I am. Doofy Hattenall. Let's see if we can get that adjusted there slick. Alright, now we're ready to shoot. Anyway, what I'm doing here is I'm out at the range with my Ruger American Predator Rifle in chamber in 6.5 Creedmoor for the very first time. And what I'm doing, let me just show you what I've got with the rifle here. I've got a cheap scope on there. It's a CD life 6x24 power scope with weaver tactical rings, one in trains that are high. You see the Picatinny rail there? I've got a mounted tube that comes standard on the Ruger. That scope was 52 bucks on Amazon. It's got red or green lit reticle with BTC style drop markers. There's the Ruger Marksman trigger adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds. And I'll pan over here real quick to the muzzle brake I put on it. It's an Odin Atlas specifically made for the 6.5 caliber. I love it. Don't know what it's like to shoot without it, but I sure love shooting with it. Let me show you the magazine here. The magazine is a detachable magazine. It's a rotary style. It holds four shots. It seemed to work really well. Haven't had a problem with it. So what I'm doing out here at the range is I'm trying to see what's going to shoot better. The 6.5 CREAT more 140 grain match bullets they're made by Winchester. Or right there in that plastic box, my pretty maidens all in a row there. Those are my loads that I've made. The first loads I've never reloaded. They're 100 grain A-Max bullets. And I want to see which is going to shoot better. So here I am settled down into the bench. You'll see here there's about an 8 to 12 mile an hour crosswind depending when I shoot. We're going to start off with the Winchester 140 grain match bullets. And the sounds of the bullets that you hear are actually from my camera down range right by the target. Here comes shot one. I was pretty happy with that shot. And let's prep for shot two. Here it comes. Shot number two. Here comes shot number three. Beautiful. I'm super happy with that. Let's get ready for shot number four. Here we go. Shot number four. So I was super happy with that group. I had to turn to the camera and say how pleased I was. Blah blah blah. And I will cut the rest out because you can't hear me. So now it's time to see how I do with my 100 grain A-Max self-loaded hornities. Here comes shot one. Pretty good. Happy with that. Shot two. Good. Beautiful. Here comes shot three. Holy mackerel. Oh what happened there? And here comes shot four. Holy mackerel. Overcorrect. Overcorrect. Anyway, stay through the end of the video to hear my explanation on this. But for now, back to my 100 grain Hornity A-Max bullets. I was super disappointed in that group before. So let's see if I can turn it around here on this second group before. And I'm going to go ahead and speed through this real quick, you guys, so we can get through this review. So it's going to be in fast time. There's shot one. Coming up here for shot number two. Great. I was really excited about that as well. I appear to be making some improvements. So let's see if we can keep together for shot number three. Not horrible. Better than before. And let's see where I end up with shot number four. So much improved. So excited that we made those improvements. So you can see my 100 grain Hornity A-Max reloaded bullets straight from that. Well, I mean they've never been shot before, but I did load them myself that top right corner, top right target in the bottom target. We're both the same bullets, but I settled down a little bit on that bottom target and had a much better grouping as you can see. So I mean, it's much more comparable to the top left target with the 140 grain Winchester Match ammunition at 100 yards. So anyway, I got more things to say about this gun, the scope, the bullets when I get home, but I'd like to do it in my man room out of this wind so that you guys can hear. Alright, thanks. This bolt is a 70 degree. Gosh, I can't do this by myself. It's a 70 degree bolt. So it'll clear all of your scopes, which is nice. I haven't had any problems with chambering rounds or anything like that. I did have somebody else on YouTube. They talk about how this magazine comes out from under the bottom and clips up here with this little... Well, it's... Where am I here? This little spring loaded lever right here and they say that the magazine could fall out too easily. Well, this is my second American Ruger Predator rifle. I've never had a problem with this magazine falling out on accident or whatnot. I've just never had that issue. So I always worked just fine for me. Snaps up in there. Has a nice look. It's nice and flush. I've never had a problem with that. Alright, I had to sand this barrel. A lot of guys on YouTube I saw were having a problem. They're supposed to be free-floted barrels, but they really, they really stick up here where the stock meets the barrel. And I've had to sand all of that to get that contact away from the barrel. And even though I've sanded down here, you can see there, it's still not a free-floating barrel. So I have some more sanding left to do. I mounted a UTG tactical bipod up front. It's really sweet. Little gizmo here. Show you how easily this bipod just pops off. Anyway, with the lever, it just pops off like that and just as easily goes back on. Let me just lend a few final thoughts on this gun and on the shooting I've done so far. I don't think you can go wrong with this Ruger American Predator rifle. Frankly, I'm not that great of a shooter. I haven't been shooting all that many years. I'm just not that good. I haven't studied the art of shooting. I'm just an average guy who loves to hunt and who gets out as often as he can. So, but when you can take a rifle that's up my local gun shop right now for $369 off the shelf and shoot factory ammunition loads and get three quarters of an inch at a hundred yards. For me, I don't think I could do anything better than that if I spent a thousand bucks. And again, here's my hand loads. This is my second round of hand loads with the Hornity A-Max bullets that I was shooting. You know that first set, I was squirrely. I was a little nervous. My heart rate was up. And I frankly was nervous about shooting my own reloads. I've never shot my own reloads before. I just started. So, I think that's explained some of the discrepancy of why I had some of these horrible first grouping. I was frankly just nervous about reloading and firing bullets that I made myself.
