What is wrong with ruger rifles

[TNHighlands]

Sorry, I should have been more clear on my last question. After the first few hours of this thread, I’ve been convinced to be done with the 6.5prc thought and am now onto the 6mm creed thought. 6mm arc vs 6mm creedmore. Surely the 6cm with a can is light enough recoil. Looking at numbers, I think id rather be in a 20” 6mmCM over a 16” 6mmARC. (Remember my old man way of thinking , bigger is better; I can’t kick that thought completely out of the brain yet). If I continue my use with the hammers, I want to be well above the lowest working speed at 500 yards

There's mountains of evidence on Rokslide to overcome the "old man" way of thinking. It's not complicated. Same exact bullets, 200fps less. Unless you plan to kill animals beyond 600yds, the arc gives up nothing to the creed. Dropped my buck this year at 175 yds with the arc (AR). Made a believer out of me. Enough to buy a ruger in 22 arc for next year...

Cheaper ammo, more practice, zero recoil. That's all you could ask/hope for kids that age.

Growing up hunting in va I still find it odd people can use 22 cal bullets for big game. Not that you’re wrong, just never see it here.

Yet to see big game animal (to include walrus and moose) that can survive that^^^ but i digress.

Rugers punch above their weight class. It's no tikka (bolt and triggers are both much rougher) but, unlike tikka, they make threaded models in barrel lengths and cartridges people want.

I don’t doubt your comments, it’s just not legal here.

Add another 0.19" and make it a 6mm. Even more devastation.

Why an arc over the cm in a bolt gun?

.243 with a 108

6mm ARC with a 108

.223 with a 77

Suppressor brought .243 to near unsuppressed ARC and brought ARC to near unsuppressed .223, I can upload those too if people want to see.

If you hit play at the same time on these videos, you can see recoil impulse happen side by side.

Also, there's a lot of good info in the thread that post is in, from a lot of different people.

Also, after seeing what the 77TMK does out of a .223 and what the 108/109 ELDM does out of a 6mmARC on game, I sold my 7mmRM to fund a .243AI build for my own kill-everything-at-all-ranges gun. When I bought that 7mmRM, I was a whisker away from instead getting a .300WM to shoot 215 Bergers. There is hope for Old Guy Big Gun wisdom adherents! Our family has a pretty good pile of critters now killed with those bullets, no regrets!
