Grabbed a Ruger Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. It matches up well with the 77/17 Hornet. The whore-gnat now has a big brother. Meet APOLLO the CREED moor....

Nice addition there, Don. That's one sweetie caliber for some LR fun.

I also like your little pun too.....of course you know you're dating yourself buddy! (Was that character in Rocky XXII or LXVIII?..... :lol: )

Very nice there, Don!

You've certainly verified the long range potential of both the rifle and cartridge. Looks like an excellent combination! :D (Nice shot too!)

Rick, I took the creedmoor to a long distance shoot in Montana last weekend. Took 3rd place with guys shooting GAP rifles topped by S&B and Nightforce scopes. The poor little guy held his own...So impressed by the cal, I bought another one so chambered. Will start another big brother thread.
