I am not a fan of the Ruger American nor the 6.5 Creedmoor, but my daughter recently received this particular rifle/cartridge combo as a gift. After being fired less than 40 times (we still have most of the second box of ammo), it has misfired twice, light primer strikes, once at the range, the second time at in the field. Also, while watching an online hunting video, one of the hunters remarked that he tried to shoot a deer, but his rifle had misfired. His rifle was a Ruger American chambered in 350 Legend. Though I do not the American, I really like Ruger Firearms. In this case, we will probably replace the rifle as the issue is not one that I, nor she, is willing to endure. Nor should we have to.

If this is a known issue, why in the world would anyone buy one?
