The Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor is a left-handed bolt-action rifle with a Moss Green synthetic stock and matte black barrel. The left-hand action is a practical choice for southpaw shooters — dedicated left-hand bolt rifles in this price range are genuinely uncommon. 6.5 Creedmoor is a strong caliber selection for hunting deer-sized game at longer ranges, with a flat trajectory and manageable recoil at 6.6 lbs.

Detailed Features 

 
The Ruger Marksman Adjustable Trigger is user-adjustable between 3 and 5 lbs. pull weight. The cold hammer-forged barrel is a heavy contour build that sustains accuracy through extended strings of fire. The Power Bedding system uses integral pillars to seat the action consistently in the stock, reducing shot-to-shot variance. The threaded muzzle (5/8"-24) accepts suppressors and muzzle brakes.

Left-handed shooters make up the core of this rifle's fan base, and for good reason — dedicated left-hand bolt rifles at this price point are sparse.

Accuracy is the most consistent praise. Owners report solid groups right out of the box at hunting and target distances, and 6.5 Creedmoor is widely liked for its performance at longer ranges.

Build quality earns regular positive comments. The rifle holds up in field conditions, and the Moss Green finish is noted for standing out from the standard black or walnut options on the market.

The left-hand-specific design is a genuine selling point that comes up repeatedly — many left-handed buyers have settled for right-hand actions their whole lives, so having a properly mirrored action matters.

Constructive feedback clusters around a few areas: some users find the trigger pull less crisp than they prefer and adjust or upgrade it; a handful mention wanting more padding or contouring in the stock for extended sessions; and aftermarket accessories for left-hand configurations are harder to find than for the standard right-hand model.

Weight gets a mention occasionally from hunters doing long backcountry carries, though at 6.6 lbs. most consider it acceptable.
