The 6-1/2 pound Ruger American Rifle® Predator Model offers no-compromise engineering innovation, proving that a world-class rifle can still be affordable. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger offers a crisp release with a pull weight that is user-adjustable between three and five pounds. Ruger's patented Power Bedding® system utilizes stainless-steel bedding blocks that are insert-molded into the stock to positively locate the receiver and free-float the barrel.
The Predator retains the Ruger American Rifle's three-lug, 70 degree bolt that provides ample scope clearance. The bolt also utilizes a full diameter body and dual cocking cams for smooth, easy cycling from the shoulder. The reliable four-round rotary magazine fits flush with the stock and offers the smooth feed that has become the hallmark of Ruger® rotary magazines.
The threaded barrel allows fitment of a variety of muzzle accessories, including sound suppressors. This makes the new Predator model an ideal choice in the thirty-two states that allow hunting with suppressors and in the many more states that allow suppressed target shooting.
For the money you can't beat it. Friend paid X3 as much for a Broowning X-bolt and this thing out shoots his. I like the 70% throw bolt so doesnt smack the scope. Bolt is heavy and makes a zipping noise and tooling marks. But I don't care it shoots 1/2 MOA. Changed the trigger spring and now have a 2pound trigger on it...
