Picked one up yesterday at Green Mountain Guns, its Ruger days, It was $959 and under 1150 taxed out the door. Mine is 6.5 creed.

Big mistake. Now you're going to have 55 people from this board hounding you about how it shoots, every day, for the next year.

Pics or it didn't happen. Was it special ordered? Any other calibers available and were the prices different?

Yup. You better start your own thread, just sayin'.

It happened.. Quick what I think, actions not the smoothest, but it's never been shot so I'll leave it at that till I run some rounds down. Trigger has a little creep but a nice break, consistent at albs. The plastic end of the bolt (shroud) is cheesy but it only serves as a storage unit and travels into the buffer tube, far as I can tell. Bolt lift is nice, shorter throw than Remington's. I don't like the way AIC mags fit, pmags fit great (came with 2 10rd mags), haven't tried any others yet but will. The threads are cut nice and feel good when putting on the can, I think they paid attention to the difference between a class III cut verses a muzzle break or comp. Lots of adjustment out back, and the folder locks up tight, pretty impressive. If it shoots anything like they've shown, it's not gonna be beat, everyone will be able to play the game. Don't know ill get it out this weekend, but if I do I'll post something up in a different (new) thread.

KS63, not sure if they had anything else, I asked to be called when they had a 6.5, and I went by on my lunch hour yesterday, no time to browse.

^^^Thanks for the info. Very nice setup you've got there. Looking forward to your shooting impressions.

Seems like I haven't seen one in forever but wouldn't one of those ar grips with the big basepad be great for this? Yknow the one for rifles with bipods so you could sit it down without it rolling over.

Sure why not, they aren't very friendly to competition shooting though.
