  • Why? I like the cheek riser, the three position safety that locks the bolt, the coated, fluted, threaded, free floated 20 inch barrel, the magazine type, the stiffer stock that pillar beds the action, the non-zipper bolt and I'm sure there are some other things I've missed. I'll keep my Ruger American Predator Gen I in 308 as my backup. It never hurts to have an extra in the truck should something happen while in the field.

    👍👍nice rifle Cervus. 308 is my favorite deer caliber also. I have a browning x bolt hunter in 308 and it has a flush fitting mag which is what I like.

    I picked mine up a few weeks ago, shoots decent. Good luck getting that brake off, I gave up after scuffing the cerakote with different wrenches

    • @cervus-venator
      @cervus-venator  7 днів тому +1

      Thanks Bart. I was able to get it off fairly easy. Of course I've done that with several AR barrels in the past. I have some vice clamps for a barrel and snug the barrel down in the vice fairly tight. With just a little umph I can get that break lose. In fact, the latter half of this video I show the new scope and the new break on the rifle.

    Nice ! 308 is magic number for you !i was suprised when they named that model gen ll, i thought predator wouldve been gen ll. I got the RA go wild = genll or lll but what ever...lol. i got bc of cerakote and aics magazine, also 308

    • @cervus-venator

      Very cool. I was going to get a Go Wild version in 7mm PRC, but I guess now I'll get one of the Gen II in that cartridge. Only, I have to save up for that.

    I've got 2 factory Tikka 308s, 2 full custom 308s, and a custom made with a Tikka action 308. Funny I'm just seeing this video. I was gathering rifles to take to the range tomorrow. Might as well take a couple 308s

    yes, we can't help ourselves. It is the way....
    Stay well. BTW the 3 lug bolts on Rugers are 60 degrees
    The only thing I don't like is there should be a barrel nut for calibers that don't need a break

    • @cervus-venator
      @cervus-venator  8 днів тому

      It appears so Mogulrider. Yes, no all of them need a break on the end.

    Clean the barrel before you shoot it. Just my recommendation.

      Weaver tactical If I recall. Six screw 30 mm and I think they are medium height. Yes, I ran an oiled patch through it. It was pretty clean.

    • @cervus-venator
      @cervus-venator  9 днів тому +1

      It wasn't too bad. I have some barrel clamps for my vice and I snugged it in those to hold it while I put a wrench on it. Just a little "humph" from me and it broke lose. I like the original radial break, but it doesn't serve my needs.
