I have finally decided on getting the ruger american for a hunting and long range plinking (600yd) gun in 6.5 creedmoor and i cant decide on which model to buy. Both take AI style mags and are threaded. Really just want yalls opinion if the factory compensator and cerakote is worth the extra $100
1. the first comes with a compensator and cerakoted for 525(after shipping and transfer fee)
Ruger Ruger American Rifle Go Wild Camo 6.5 Creedmoor 22-inch 3Rds | Locked Loaded Limited

2. the other is threaded (I would buy a break to go on) for $425 (after shipping and transfer fee)
AMERICAN PRED 6.5CM BK/OD 22`` BBL

If don't mind the camo pattern then I'd say #1. Be tough to find someone to ckote for that price.

My son in law has a Predator with Boyds stock. Recoil is pretty mild. Do you want a brake for looks or function?

It has been my experience that the recoil reduction does not really outweigh the increased noise that a brake adds.

Ive used several breaks and use them for function. Sound mitigation is not really of my concern as i shoot on a private range and when im hunting one shot is all i need.
