[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1592635, member: 54178"] The Ruger American Predator is a great inexpensive rifle. I had a 6.5 Creed RAP and it regularly shot 1/2 MOA with Hornady 140 gr. ELD-M [I]factory[/I] ammo. ->I put a Timney trigger on it which helped with accuracy consistency. Best mod you can make for that rifle. ->I also put a Boyd's Classic laminated stock on it. That mod made it look and feel like a much more expensive rifle. And it still shot 1/2 MOA. Then I became enamored of the Browning X-Bolt Pro so I sold the RAP and Boyd's stock separately and bought the X-Bolt Pro - for a LOT more money, as in $1.300. more. :eek:( But it shoots as well as the Ruger did. This is a photo of that Ruger with the nice Boyd's stock. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
