Yes, the question was in reference to the American series bolt guns. They note in the specs the ranch is a 5.56 vs the predator being a .223. I did not know how much looser a 5.56 chamber is and if it would wreck havoc with accuracy. I am hearing fabulous accuracy out of the predators but most of the ranch reviews I have seen have been on the .330 BO.

In my AR's I have run the .223 wylde as a compromise and been very satisfied with the accuracy but have never seen a bolt gun with a 5.56 chamber.


Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
