    Opinions on Ruger Predator

    I ordered a left hand 6.5 American Predator through Academy for my son. It shoots, and it shoots well. 142 SMK behind 40.6 H4350 puts them in there. Now, it's rough, but it shoots.

    My first post and it will be obvious that I need lots of advice

    Not the compact. A CTR model. I have the 20" stainless barrel version as I hunt with it also. I am not sure about model numbers but you have your choice in blued or stainless, and 20" or 24" barrel.

    7mm Rem Mag Recoil - How bad is it?

    To me it was about being comfortable, and it took about 40 years for me to learn that. I loved my Ruger 7 mag, very accurate and great hunting rifle/caliber. That being said, I sold it to fund a 6.5 build and it is the ONLY rifle I have ever sold and had ZERO regrets. None, zilch, zero.

    Rifle Scopes Nikon to stop making scopes???

    Yep.... there was some dumbass rumor that the anti-gunners got to them but the truth is that they bet against mirrorless camera tech and lost. Due to the saturated scope market they decided this was the first to be cut. At the end of the day it’s just business, or the lack thereof in this case...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon to stop making scopes???

    I have 2 older Japanese made Monarchs that are some of my favorite optics. One of them is a 2.5-10x Mil on a 6.8 that I literally drag through the woods looking for hogs, it just won't die. I know they never gained popularity in this forum, and for mostly good reason, but I will say this...

    Night Vision Best setup for under $500

    If you can't identify a hog at 100 yards with a Sighmark photon or wraith then you need to go see a fucking optometrist. It's comical to me when people state you need thousands of dollars in optics to hunt at night. It is better, yes, is it mandatory, no. Some of you have more money than...
