Ruger American .22LR Predator

[Lumber_Jack]

So I was in Whittaker Guns yesterday looking to buy one of the new Ruger American .22 threaded versions. Well the only one left that had the longer legnth-of-pull had the rear sight broken, so I looked at the new Predator version. So it also has a threaded barrel, but instead of factory sights it has a pre-installed scope rail, and is the predador green stock. Other than that its identical. The guy at Whittakers said there were only 500 .22 versions of this rifle and a Sports South exclusive. All of the others were typical predator hunting calibers.

anyways I mounted a red dot on there and my current suppressor as I await getting my dedicated .22 suppressor. The trigger is adjustable and very crisp. It also takes the 10/22 rotary mags or any high capacity mags designed for 10/22.

Nice, now I am thinking it is time for a trip up to Whittaker's.  It's my favorite gun store.

That, sir, is really very nice.  Congrats!

Nice.  Looks like the bolt handle is larger as well.  I've got the 22wmr version and it is super accurate.

Yes it is. I forgot to mention that. It's bigger and more squared vs the rounded on the standard American. This model comes in 22WMR as well

Very nice!

Curse you for showing it like that. I cannot be looking at another 22!

Very cool little rifle. I really like the American line of Ruger rifles.

So it is a bolt action, but uses the standard 10/22 mags of any capacity? That is awesome. I like the the green as well. Good choice.

Yes sir. It's pretty awesome. I was looking at the Savage .22 until I saw this one.
