Ruger American Predator Hunting Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor ~ THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE ACCURATE!!

Ruger American Predator Hunting Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor ~ THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE ACCURATE!!

This budget 6.5 CREEDMOOR chambered hunting rifle shoots as well or better than some rifles that cost twice as much. It does have some things that limit it’s performance out of the box but somehow it overcomes them!

    Best rifle I own. Accurate deer killing machine. Recently put my new pulsar on it for coyote hunting. Shot a coyote in the back of head at 150 yards running away.



  2. Scott Hammond on November 20, 2021 at 6:30 pm

    Really good non-biased review. Excellent shooting as well!



  3. William Barnes on November 20, 2021 at 6:30 pm

    From what I have been hearing, the 6.5 creedmoor is a great whitetail deer gun. If I am wrong please correct 🙂



  4. RPK on November 20, 2021 at 6:31 pm

    Great video



  5. Project M on November 20, 2021 at 6:32 pm

    most rifles are coming without iron sites now



  6. Ryan Croley on November 20, 2021 at 6:33 pm

    Well I am taking a long range shooting class so it looks like this is what I’m getting for that.



  7. Brent Hamby on November 20, 2021 at 6:37 pm

    Magpul makes an aftermarket that is fantastic! I’ve got that one on my 6.5 CM.



  8. Bill Barnicke on November 20, 2021 at 6:38 pm

    The bolt sitting on the wet table makes me cringe a bit 😉



  9. Eric Biue on November 20, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    I love your no BS commentary



  10. James Todd on November 20, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    That was amazing



  11. John and Rosemary Wyatt on November 20, 2021 at 6:43 pm

    That was the absolute best rifle review I have ever seen. Color me impressed.



  12. Bernie Starzewski on November 20, 2021 at 6:43 pm

    re your 100 yd shots. Are you aiming dead on to the center or are you compensating for trajectory? My M77 rises up at 100 to 150 and then drops to level at 300 which I think is normal. I have to aim low at those ranges. Maybe you could comment on how it is sighted?



  13. wayne john on November 20, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    How are they chamberd in 223



  14. Phillip Peters on November 20, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    Great shooting



  15. 4Bears I on November 20, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    Nice video Ky boy. From all the shooters out there Thanks for the 5 shot group and the good info



  16. Matthew Knight on November 20, 2021 at 6:49 pm

    Great video 👍🏼 thanks.
    I bought one in .204 – hopefully it shoots this well!



  17. Brian Leabo on November 20, 2021 at 6:50 pm

    I like the arrows on the end



  18. Salesi Mounga on November 20, 2021 at 6:51 pm

    any suggestions for where to shop for this "package" gun with vortex scope?



  19. thom drums on November 20, 2021 at 6:52 pm

    Excellent! Love your vids!



  20. 2pugman on November 20, 2021 at 6:53 pm

    The rifle is still shooting great, but the magazine broke. It’s plastic and broke at the spring release. Ruger sent me a replacement and I ordered a second mag. The "universal" mags fit the 6.5 and the 308. The top two rounds will not feed correctly. They stand up as they slide off the mag. I purchased another one online and it’s also a combo mag. Again, the top two rounds will not chamber. They do not sell a factory replacement mag that comes with the rifle.



  21. Aaron Meeks on November 20, 2021 at 6:54 pm

    I gave 474 for mine without a scope, topped it off with a leupold scope



  22. Evan M on November 20, 2021 at 6:57 pm

    Bro your intro is way too long… get to the good stuff



  23. Ty Godbehere on November 20, 2021 at 7:01 pm

    Can somebody please tell me a good stock option to put on it I just bought one and I don’t like how he was able to pull that apart



  24. Michael Hedgepeth on November 20, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    Cheap factory stock, BUT We put that hammer forged barrel together pretty good over here in Carolina, Don’t We ?♥️🔥



  25. Paul Pence on November 20, 2021 at 7:04 pm

    Hands down cant beat them,,, theres tons of vids here on YT, Standard, Predator, Ranch models etc… and they all seem to be tack drivers!!! I have the Ranch in 5.56, its shorter than a 10/22, great varmint truck gun… and it drives tacks…



  26. Kevin on November 20, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    20:38 I hope you’ve got a tag for that pillbug.



  27. Curtis Sheffield on November 20, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    I have one of these it will shoot1/2 inch groups at 100 with the right ammo if u can hold it



  28. Brent Hamby on November 20, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    The factory stock is no bueno…



  29. Alex Hester on November 20, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    Man that intro was wayyy too long.



  30. Will Brown on November 20, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    Sr. I’ve watched your video maybe 7-8 times on the Ruger predator…
    You’re a really fine shot.
    I have the same rifle three round clip…
    I want to shoot 10 rounds out of hot moms are distances up 1000k.
    Later predators have a clip feed that holds 10 rounds.
    Is there a way that I can modify my stock to hold 10 round clips instead of the three round clip.

    If you know what I have to do to have a 10-round magazine and a 6.5.

    I watch all of your videos…
    Thanks.
    Will Brown



  31. REY on November 20, 2021 at 7:06 pm

    That’s about right for accuracy now try some Hornandy 147gr match will be almost same hole accuracy



  32. Hunter Ghivizzani on November 20, 2021 at 7:06 pm

    Love the way you talk about stuff somewhat in depth as if someone might not know what everything is instead of just glossing over stuff like everyone knows what you’re talking about



  33. MJNader on November 20, 2021 at 7:06 pm

    If 6.5 Creedmoor was easier to find here in Canada I would like my Ruger American Predator 6.5 crdmr more than my Tikka 3tx varmint 308



  34. Racer J on November 20, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    Great video work, great review! Thank you!



  35. Luther Lewis on November 20, 2021 at 7:10 pm

    Music sucks!



  36. Richard Mendolia on November 20, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    Your assessment is as accurate as the rifle. Not much to look at, but it’s a sweet shooter.



  37. Brian Hind on November 20, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    Sir: I am 81 & have carried a rifle since I was 7. I am NOT a firearms expert by any means, & have never owned a top of the line rifle. I very much enjoyed your review, & especially your honest, unbiased , observations. Your shooting review was excellent. Thank you !



  38. slatevalleymountainman on November 20, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    Holy cow, that 3rd shot you took, that landed in the same hole from your 2nd was out standing. Damn good marksmanship!



  39. 7come11two on November 20, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    Townsend Whelen said it. Only accurate rifles are interesting.



  40. Dave Kimbler on November 20, 2021 at 7:15 pm

    That’s to bad you don’t much care for it ! I love to shot mine but I have the nickel barrel . The caliber is fantastic the rifle shoots straight and I have a caliber specific scope on it ! Dead nuts at 300 for me !



  41. el honda on November 20, 2021 at 7:16 pm

    Niiiiice!



  42. yetisuncle on November 20, 2021 at 7:17 pm

    some would say that the glass makes the rifle…..



  43. Tyler Sterns on November 20, 2021 at 7:18 pm

    "The Boawwwt" This dude is awesome..



  44. Brent Hamby on November 20, 2021 at 7:19 pm

    I’ve got a Magpul Hunter stock on mine. Makes a HUGE difference.



  45. Hunter on November 20, 2021 at 7:20 pm

    Price gone up on these? 450 without scope is what I’m seeing



  46. Kit Higgins on November 20, 2021 at 7:22 pm

    I just got to shoot this weapon this weekend and loved it and I want one now….



  47. Fritz Fondona on November 20, 2021 at 7:24 pm

    Why do you people shoot a 50 yds?,
    WTF



  48. Bravo Mike Prophet on November 20, 2021 at 7:25 pm

    Just bought mine today, waiting that good ole’ California 10 days, i wanted something to slap steel past 500 yards and this is what i picked up for $560 in 6.5



  49. Political Alien on November 20, 2021 at 7:25 pm

    Are they upgradeable??



  50. Chas R Martel on November 20, 2021 at 7:26 pm

    I have a Ruger American in .243 and a Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. They both shoot like that. Best deal in rifles today.
