Aftermarket Ruger American Predator Stock?

[Deputy819]

Hey All! What are you Ruger American "Predator" shooters using for aftermarket stocks? I recently acquired one in .358 Winchester to use for my deer "woods rifle". It's an MOA rifle as is......but I feel the "itch" coming on to do something for it just because. Let's hear it! Thanks.

Nobody has an aftermarket stock on a Ruger American Predator?

I've been contemplating putting one of the Boyd At-One thumbholes on my Ruger American.

Well, if you do let me know how it goes. I know Boyd's will provide the front and rear lugs, trigger guard etc and they highly recommend bedding the lugs. MagPul and B&C is supposed to be a drop in fit I think? I really don't care for the flimsy factory stock on my Predator, but the rifle shoots very well as is considering it's purpose. I just feel the need to tinker with it...

I don't care for the flimsy stock either, and shoots pretty darn good as yours does. I would just not like the extra weight. Can be nice carrying a 6.25 pound rifle with a light scope around in the mountains, especially compared to its 16.5 pound big brother.

Roger that, Sir! That "if it ain't broke don't fix it" ideal is screaming at me just as much as the desire to tinker with it is.
