Ruger 6.5 remington mag (Photos added)

[ram161]

I,m looking at a Ruger Flatbolt 6.5 remington mag. It is in 98% condition.
Does any one know what these are worth.
No rings, no box

Not sure what they would cost but that has to be a pretty rare chambering though. If you don't mind how much are they asking?

I can't help you with the Ruger aspect but the 6.5mm Rem Mag is a cool little round. 8)
I've got the M673 Guide rifle in 6.5mmRM.

Very cool little round! Hope you get it. Sounds like a collector/shooter!

The asking price is $799.00
I know it is a rare chambering and it would look cool next to the 350 remington,and you dont find them very often.
It also is a RS model which means it has sights on it.
I was checking, I just don't want to over pay.

Not too familiar with pricing in the U.S. but it doesn't sound too bad to me considering how rare it is and it sounds like it is in good shape. Ofcourse it would nice to get it cheaper, I would like to see what others think of the price.

Very underrated round. A "short 270 Winchester" with better BC SD

It sounds as if that was a pretty good price! For sure, it is a great cartridge that is seriously underrated.

That would be the holy grail of Flatbolts. Production of less than 800 estimated. Ruger doesn't give out production figures so that is why its estimated. About 10% had sights on them.

Take a good look at it, because it could be an ST, which takes the Rem 700 bases.

A rifle like that in NIB would be about $1400-$1600. I would think a 98% gun would be at least $900.

Sounds like $799 is a good deal, hopefully it's a shooter.

I went back and relooked at this 6.5 flatbolt and it is a RS and talked the dealer into the rings.
It was a consignment so the price was firm.
I will pick up next week and get phots up.

 

[DrMike]

That sounds like a great deal. It is, for sure, an interesting cartridge.

I picked up the Ruger Flat bolt 6.5 remington mag and it has some light handling marks.
The bluing is 100% and the bolt face still has bluing on it

Nice, hopefully it will be a shooter for you, that has to be a pretty rare gun. What bullets were you thinking of trying?

 

[DrMike]

It is indeed an interesting rifle. Thanks for the pictures.

I plan on the nosler 130 AccuBond but have not ruled out the 120 either.

That's an awesome find. Gotta love those Rugers. Actually I love all of them. Each rifle has a story.

That's a great slug for your 6.5 RM.
