Believe it or not.
Went to Bass Pro to pick up the gun I ordered last week that came in today. Ruger American Predator in .308 NATO, prepaid when ordered.
They refuse to sell it to me due to the fact that back during COVID They stopped changing your address on your license until it was renewed, which for me is my 76th birthday, November of 2026!!!!!!!!!! At first I was mad. The DMV has to do something to notify anyone who goes there online gets the new address.








.
Two hours and I leave without the gun. Tomorrow I go to the DMV to get it straightened OUT. The manager is trying his best to get the deal done but no dice.
I notice a rifle on the rack that has one of the most gorgeous pieces of wood on it I have ever seen


I take a look at it and it's a Stevens-Savage in 6.5 creedmore. It's marked at $479 but it's got a couple of imperfections in the stock. They know that and offer it to me at 15% off which is right at $72 and that brings it down to just over $400.
The stock is worth half of that or more, tiger striped all down the right side.
I said what the heck. I'll get the DMV stuff straight in the morning then just come back and buy both of them!!!!!!
The 6.5 creedmoor will work fine with my garage sale scope out to 1200 yards. The vertical adjustment limit is 40 1/4 MOA clicks which means the .308 will only go 800 yards with that adjustment range. Looks like I'll just get a regular 3X9 scope for the Ruger.
That round 6.5 creedmore is based on the case that was used in Thompson center pistols starting with the .30 cal. 6.5X48 is operating at 65000 PSI pressure.
The world is turned upside down, buy a rifle to fit a scope, end up with two rifles and a WOODIE





. I'll post some pics whenever this gets sorted out.
