Ruger American Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor 20" Bolt-Action Rifle, Gray – 26983

Great product at a great price. Online purchase with store pick up was easy. Took about seven days. For it to come in and they sent me a text. Checked it out, filled out the forms and out the door in about thirty minutes. They triple check so best on a weekday.

This rifle is something else. IT looks good, feels good and shoots amazing. The Mag works well. No matter what hand load i throw at it i am sub MOA. comes with length of pull adjustment, but does not come with the different Comb height adjustment. also this is a 1:8 twist 5r rifling not 1:10 like the description states. Solid gun for under 650. The recoil is very minimal. It is a touch heavy, if you plan to carry it around the woods. But it shoots lights out.

I had a ruger predator in 6.5 CR it was the model that came with the AI-Style mag, had issues with the mag working, so I bought the magpul Hunter stock. Not only did that fix the mag issues rifle shot better. I thought if only ruger would make a heavy barrel version of this rifle it would be great. Saw this rifle and had to have it. bought it put a vortex crossfire ii 6x24x50 BDC scope on it and took it to the range two days later. rifle shoots everything I had to feed it.

This iS a great RIfle for the price. It can approach sub-moa with the right shooter and ammo. The adjustability of the LOP is nice, I wish they came with cheek riser options that you didn’t have to buy. The muzzle brake is a bit rough too. I am Going to swap for precision armament to see if it perForms any better, i know the finish will not have rough drill holes like the ruger one.

Great rifle with all the features i want From a good price point. The magpul stock makes this rifle looks so much better

Great gun. Shoots amazing. But with ammo and scope it is way to heavy to carry in the woods. Perfect fir the bench and practice

Love the m lok handle guard, able to put a bipod or any other attachments to it, all around great gun would defi RECOMMEND for hunting, hands down prefer this over the 30-06

I can't say it's perfect but it's damn close. Ruger had TO service for extraction issues and they just replaced the entire bolt, they would not elaborate ON the root cause, but they did it damn FAST, SO they get points for great customer service. (They owned the mistake) There is almost no kick on this rifle, a real pleasure to take out to long distances and hold your poa. Feels solid, free float barrel is nice. Magpul delivered a fantastic feeling stock, great combo. Would purchase again.

Shoots very well, but I've only had it "out" of the safe and/or case for literally 2.5 hours and the barrel is completely rusted. None of the other firearms I own, all with more "use' have any rust at all, but this rifle is bad. I need to let Ruger know...hopefully they will replace.

I paired this rifle with a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25 X 56 and this is a tack driver. I'm easily getting 1/2 MOA groups using Hornady Match ammo.

I really like this rifle. Feels great at the bench and it shoots great too. I mounted a 4 x12 Vortex in mounts that the crew at Sportsman Warehouse suggested and that was easy to do. Cleaned it up and off to the range. It shot great as you can see from the picture. I tried three different Ammo combinations and the tipped and very pointed bullets worked best through the magazine. There is a warning in the paperwork about magazines and to use the brown follower magazine. It came with one and I

Love this rifle! Yes, you have to take the cheek and shoulder pad off to remove/install the bolt, but it's a small thing for a great rifle, I recommend it! Yes, it is 5/8x14 threaded barrel, so it will adapt a suppressor. Which I do plan on getting soon for it.

Purchased the 6.5 American Hunter with Magpul stock for my wife to replace a feather weight .243 Winchester. It is a great bargain in my opinion for everything you get, modified fit to length stock, free floated barrel, muzzle brake, picatinny rail, and decent trigger. You don't have to take the cheek riser off to get the bolt out like everyone is saying. Just pull the bolt back, depress the bolt release and rotate the bolt 90 degrees until its upside down then pull pivoting the bolt upwards.

New to long range shooting and this is my 1st rifle. Shoots amazingly very crisp trigger. The finish is sexy and that magpul stock is very comfortable. Now I have a vortex diamondback tactical 6x25:50 scope, cheap bi pods well be buying some magpul ones here shortly. Took to the range with federal premium 140 grain boat tail rounds at 100 yards. Shot low 1st shot adjusted next 15 rounds all center.

This Ruger American Hunter is stable and heavy enough for an LR Rifle (sub-MOA). As for hunting, I think it is good to hunt from a supported position. At 9.2 lbs, plus scope, ammo, and sling, I struggled to hold the rifle on target for longer than 5 to 7 seconds. I would not recommend it for an off-hand situation
