- In this video, I go over the upgrades that I have made to my Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor to make it a better hybrid hunting/tactical rifle. The optic and muzzle brake have worked wonders for improving usability and functionality.

I've got a magpul mag for mine that helped with the reloading. Also picked up a kydex cheek riser off Amazon.
Great job, bud. I found your video very insightful. Keep it up!
Elliott:
My bolt sounded similar to yours and most ruger Americans. I got rid of the sound by cleaning polishing and oiling the bolt. It’s super quiet and much smoother. It also doesn’t get hung if you don’t pull it straight back every Time.
I have the exact same rifle, the magwell conversion is a must on this rifle if you haven't done so already. Called up Ruger and sent the parts for $26, then ordered the 5 round Ruger mags to go with it.
Use the ruger .450 3 round mag works like a charm
How does this ruger compare to Thompson center or savage?
You need to get the MCarbo trigger spring kit. Huge difference, mine went from 4lbs on lowest adjustment, down to a great 2 3/4lbs. Best bang for buck mod.
Do you not consider the mounted bipod to be an upgrade? My 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger American Predator came from the factory already converted to accept box magazines. The 3-round magazine that came with it functions flawlessly. I believe (have not confirmed) this new Ruger Predator also accepts the box 5 and 10 round magazines.
There are conversion kits to use different magazines. Ruger also makes a "308 multi-caliber" magazine, that also fits the 6.5 creedmoor rifles, that works much better (it's a standard box magazine, instead of a rotary magazine; you're right that the rotary mags are awful; the box mags work great though....just lose 1 round of capacity though.)
I bought the baby brother ( 6.5 grendel) waiting on it to show up at the ffl
I know this video has been out awhile , but did you know that if you remove the original scope mount you can mount the scope lower right to the gun . It brings it down enough that you don't need a cheek riser with most scopes .
I was going to say I have no problems with my magazine but I have the like California holds 4 version 😂 unless u just got an after market one 🤷♂️
Should got the go wild 6 5
Ruger will sell you a kit to change to magpul mags. I think around 17 bucks.
Which bipod do you have on it?
What muzzle brake are you running
Would this be a good first rifle
What muzzle brake is that?
Ruger will sell you an AI mag well and then use MDT 5 or 10 round mags, tune them uo and they feed perfect
