Neat. Looks like the 308 is threaded.

And a 204! I really like these rifles....

They're all threaded. And there's that .22-250 showing a 1 in 10 twist again.

Has anybody positively, definitely verified that twist or is some website maintenance guy continuing to repeat a typo over and over?

I really wish Ruger would add a higher comb option, such as is available on the rimfire models.

I'll be damned, they are all threaded. Guess I should have read the description.

When they become available, I'll take a SS compact 223 and have it threaded, as I'd have to shorten the Predator barrel anyway, for suppressed truck gun duties.

Me too Billy. I've emailed a few times asking for the same.

FWIW -- the free cheek pad that you receive after completing the warranty info works pretty well. It puts your eye right behind the scope with Talley LW lows..

And here's a write-up on it:

I have no use for a stock purse. The stock should have been designed correctly in the first place, as the rifle doesn't have open sights! So why the low comb, and free band aid to fix the problem?

Well....I'll answer my own question. Because it looks sort of tacticool. Also, free accessories, even if they wouldn't be needed had the initial product been designed correctly, appeal to a certain segment of society.

Guess I've been asleep in class.

I just realized all the 223 versions of the American are twisted 1/8.

I have to agree with that statement too...

But I bet we see the rifle available with open sights on the future. That was one of the big questions on the questionnaire just before they announced the RAR.

Yes you have, but you can't seat VLD's out to take advantage of it, but a Fire member is working on a remedy for the magazine as we speak.

NECG band sweated or epoxied out front. XS low weaver peep on the rear scope base. XS white stripe front blade.

And he's doing a fantastic job!

Jim In Idaho - my 1:10 twist RAR .22/250 has been verified by no less than three (3) 'smiths in my presence. Homesteader.

I really like the looks of this one. Especially, a .243 and a 6.5 Creedmoor.

Intellesting

They should sell a few of those. That package in the Creedmoor is capable of a lot for the price point.

just noticed that the .308 flavor has an 18" barrel .... hmmm ....

yep, I'm sure of it. I'm gettin the 18" .308.
