Anyone have a Ruger Gunsite Scout 6.5 CM?

[platnumbob]

I have a Ruger GS Scout in .308 which I use for deer. Love the rifle, (have it mounted with a full XS rail so I can use larger scopes/ but with flexibility for irons). I do find that the short 16" barrel affects the ballistics/ trajectory a bit past 250 yards though. I am going for pronghorn this year and looking for a rifle that might shoot a bit flatter but have the same handiness as my Ruger (detach mags etc.).

Today I noticed that Ruger has a 6.5 CM now, model 6836. Has anyone tried it? It has an 18.7" barrel - does that still allow for reasonably trajectory out to around 400 yrds or so? Also wondering the best place to pick one up if someone already knows. Thanks!

I didn't even know they existed in 6.5! Might have to sell the .308...

Those are nice!

Ya, I am definitely considering selling my .308 and getting this.

Thanks for the links everyone. Has anyone tried it? And does anyone know if the full XS rail I have on my .308 version would directly swap over to the 6.5CM? I can only assume the dimensions are the same.

They look dang good fer sure. These are a Davidsons dealer exclusive which means ye ain't likely to get 'em at the big box stores. No worries though, just order through Clay at PR.

I'd buy one if they made a LH

I like the camo design, works well with this rifle.

You are left handed? How the heck can you shoot so well?

The coriolis affect.

The coriolis affect.

Explains much of my failings then.

The coriolis affect.

But only when shooting east in the northern hemisphere...

For best accuracy use metal jacketed bullets and shoot directly at magnetic north.

I'd buy one if it didn't have that stoopid huge magazine and muzzle flash thingy device. That be goofy stuff on a field rifle.

the flash hider threads off and the Magpul AICS 6 round mags are just right
