New .308

Post by cwfunrider »

Picked up a Ruger American Predator last night. It's the newest offering in the American line. 18" heavy barrel, threaded. I put a Vortex 4-12 by 44 scope on it. Can't wait to site it in.

Dang it. Tapatalk not letting me post pictures.

Looks nice! I like Ruger products too. That is a good choice.

Nice looking rifle. I have a few of their pistols, but I don't know anything about the RAR. From the looks of a couple of these posts it sounds like it will be fun.

I was hot for one and was told to check out the Savage 11. Also has the floating barrel and scope package. I'm torn.

Ah. Forgot about this thread. Yes I took it down to Florida in March. It is a real nice shooter. Sighted it in at 100 yards.
