[QUOTE="Keystone7mm, post: 2893993, member: 126853"] I'm looking for anyone that has experience with buying a Ruger American Predator and dropping it into a chassis and throwing the green stock away. I would like to purchase a 204 Ruger for hunting prairie dogs and plinking. I'm between a Ruger M77 Hawkeye Long Range Target and a Ruger American Predator with an MDT Oryx chassis. The M77 will be around $1600 and comes with a laminate stock that has adjustable cheek height and length of pull. Or....I go with the Predator at around $550 and get the chassis for around $425. The saved money could go toward better glass. My son soots a Predator in 6.5 needmoor that has been easy to load for and really shoots well for a cheap rifle. The negative about the Predator is I lose 4" of barrel from the M77, and the added velocity that comes with it. Who has dropped a Predator barrel and action into a chassis, and has it worked well for you? I thank you in advance for the help and feedback. [/QUOTE]
