Did ruger stop making these? Did they never stock back up since the run up on guns the last few years? Curious if anyone has seen one in stock recently. I cannot find one online anywhere. Seems like a great gun for the price.

Most accurate rifle I ever owned … and with cheap 150gr Federal blue box rounds, to boot.

If you have a Cabela's or BPS near by, their online buying process is adequate. Buy online and pick up in store.

You may have to make multiple visits to the website if the gun you want is not immediately available. I tried for a week until I finally was able to cart my rifle.

Get a Gunsite Scout in .308 instead.

I have one that I really like. The 18” barrel is the perfect length to hunt with a silencer.

I put mine in a Magpul American Hunter stock. Feels much better in the new stock.

As to being in stock, look at academy. I bought one for my nephew for Christmas this past year and got it there.

They are probably making this gun in batches. It is pretty common in hunting rifles and low volume guns. Nobody will have it for months, then everyone will have it. Wash, rinse, repeat. During normal times inventory holds long enough between batches... we haven't been in normal times for quite a while.

Forgot about gun broker. They had better prices than direct retailers.

Thanks! Purchased an 18” Predator in 308!

You’re welcome man. Like fella said above, look at getting you a Magpul stock for it when you have the change.

I have a Ruger Predator in 7.62x39 and it’s a tack driver. Magpul doesn’t offer the stock for the 7.62x39 due to magazine compatibility issue.

Shoot and shoot often!

Drop it in a Boyd's laminate stock, which is what I did to my Ruger American 30-06.
