The American's not bad for the price, I paid $425 + $300 optic after taxes & rings it was $812. My only complaint is the stock, it flexes & the ergonomics of the grip to trigger feel off. For $700-$800 you can get the Savage with the Aluminum precision stock. Magpul makes a stock for $300 & then there are several aluminum options but all in your around $500 for one of those.
I've thought about getting that Ruger American in 6.5 CM. That cartridge seems to be sticking around and not a fad.
Ah... good point. So all my experience is from shooting prone, bag at rear and bi-pod front. I forget other shooters may be shooting in other positions. So results my vary.
That is a Howa action in an after market stock.Here's another option for not much more, Howa 6.5 precision

You would have to replace that buttstock right away. Those suuuuuck.

Just got in from calling. Took one coyote.. I'd say about 180yrds. I'm liking this scope very much!

That's down right amazing for that ammo.
To be truthful...it doesn't normally shoot that good for me and the PTR isn't an MOA type rifle either. I just had a good morning.That's down right amazing for that ammo.
Good shooting !
Good shooting.
