6mm Creedmoor (That's Not A Typo) Now Offered in the Ruger Precision & American Predator
You read that correctly. Ruger is now chambering their extremely popular Precision rifle in not only 6.5mm Creedmoor, but also 6mm Creedmoor. They discontinued the .243 Winchester offering and opted for a different 6mm caliber. Depending on what grain weight and powder charge you run, both calibers perform well. The biggest determining factor could be whether you want to punch paper or varmints. Even in that scenario, it is still a close toss-up. Introducing the 6mm Creedmoor begins to cement the Ruger Precision as a true long range rifle. Less people will see this as a tactical rifle for only the Tacti-COOL crowd.
The Ruger American, although not as popular as their new Precision, still has a strong following in the economy, hunting-rifle market. The American Predator variant with its threaded barrel and full length rail is a nicer package keeping in mind the growing popularity of silencers.
Ruger expanded on this new caliber addition to the American Predator line of rifles:
The Ruger Precision and American rifles continue to see new calibers added into their line-up. This trend should continue throughout 2017 as well.

I'm still waiting for a left handed option. Ruger already has lefty actions so all they need is a modified chassis and a different action. I'd be happy with a single 6.5 CM offering, otherwise I'm left with a Savage action and MDT chassis at this price point, since Savage doesn't do a lefty version of their chassis either.
I wonder if this means they've stopped using their customers for T&Eing the design....
