    Took the Grrrr plunge

    Went to the local gunshow today and one of the dealers had a RAP in 6.5 Grendel and got it for $429 plus tax. Hopefully hit the range tomorrow.

        I just picked mine up today. Great rifle. Ditched my Ar Grendel for it.

          What is a RAP? I searched and found it is a Ruger American Pistol.
          I don't think this is available in 6.5 Grendel.

            Ruger American Predator. It's a follow-on for the Ruger American, in some newer calibers/twists.
            It's the Ruger that has a 6.5 grendel, 22" threaded barrel, 1:8 twist 5R barrel, etc.

                First shot at 12 clean cold bore shot. Next two shots are the ones lower right hand side at 5. Adjusted scope next 3 shots are the ones starting at bullseye and walked to 11 o’clock. This was with the SST 123s. The shots to the left were with the 123 Black.

                  Messed with the torque settings and tried the next 3 with the SSTs and it showing promise. Didn’t have time to shoot more as barrel would beat up rather quickly with the weather down here in S Texas. I’ll be shooting some more this weekend.

                      That looks good to go for hunting

                        Yes, bought for hunting not so much for precision shooting. But I’ll be trying some Fusion Ammo in awhile to see how that does.

                          Loaded up some 100gr BT with 28.5gr H335 and shot this group at 100 yds

                            Moved over to 200 yds. cleaned the barrel out and the far shot from group was clean cold bore shot and the next 3 went into .8425” group. This was with a 3x9 scope. Not to bad considering and I think I found what my RAP likes. Oh I also torqued the action screws to 75lbs. Hope this helps.
