I bought the Predator as a hunting rifle out in the West. I upgraded it with the factory Ruger AICS magazine conversion for $28. I considered the Magpul stock, but it increases the weight of the rifle considerably, as does a more powerful optic. If you want a target rifle, then go for the Magpul and the giant scope, but it will be less than ideal as a hunting rifle. Most ethical hunting shots will be 300 yards or less. Bigger scopes and fancy stocks are not needed. More trigger time and load development is.

Very good video! Definitely a 600 yard rifle, if not a bit farther, depending on the bullet type.

Great rundown on the range experience with the rifle.

I own the same RAP with the upgrades you discussed the difference it made was incredible. I hope that you continue to make videos

I have the same exact gun and love it. Short, light, and easy to carry through the woods and it packs a punch with the 308 round. As for the magazines, yes they’re kinda weird. I haven’t had any problems with mine but basically it’s a 4 round gun, with 3 in the mag and 1 in the pipe. However, I’ve been hunting deer for 35 years and never shot more than twice at an animal so for me even 3 rounds is plenty. Thanks for the video.

Nice gun. Sure was wobbling on the bench

I've taken 2 deer with my stock ruger American predator in 308 flawlessly. I had a mossberg map patrol in 308 before this. It was ok I just didn't feel it was the one. The predator filled that satisfaction. Hornady American whitetail ammo nikon buckmaster 4-12×40 on 4x less than 1 moa groups. I can't shoot more than 350 where I hunt. No need to change anything

Just a little constructive criticism. Get the lowest scope rings you can. I love these rifles. Congratulations on yours.

Depressing the trigger safety on that rifle is not at all "creep", it's not even part of your actual trigger pull, that starts after your finger contacts the trigger and the safety is fully depressed. nothing personal, but referring to that trigger safety as creep is not right. I have that exact same firearm, same barrel Lane, the triggers are surprising, in a good way, fairly decent right out of the box. Especially when you consider the price of the firearm. I also purchased a Ruger American Ranch 16" 450 Bushmaster. Incredibly light and maneuverable. aside from the magazine, the worst thing on these firearms is the feel of the action, the bolts definitely need some polishing to smooth out the action.

How’s the recoil on it? Thinking of buying the same rifle but wasn’t sure how the kick was.

Why don't you adjust your trigger to 3.5 lbs. like the others?

What kind of muzzle break is that

why is the 308 the only one with 18" barrel

I have yet to find a better rifle than my FN SPR A5M XP.
