purchased a new ruger American predator in 243. I have previously posted I do not like modern manufacturing. I still feel the same. however I like this gun. it shoots decent, is affordable and somewhat weather/truck resistant. no pride of ownership like a model 70 or 700. however it is replaceable unlike my 99 sav or 88 win. price was 389. even savage or howa based guns cannot touch that in my area.
.....I have had the worst luck with any of the 77s regardless of barrel changes. that includes the new hawkeyes also. this new style ruger shoots 1 1/2 groups with h380 and 80 sierras. I mounted a little overkill of a scope. burris 2.5x10 30mm MR T. with the included rail it was a piece of cake. just thought I share. dieselchief.
ps it is threaded, hope the suppressor deal happens!
