mistem, very nice job on the stock. tell me more, i have one in 308, and would like to do something like you did to yours. they are great shooters, but its almost hurts your eyes to open the safe and have that ugly green jump out at you. Thanks, Paul

After searching for the last 3 months ...finally laid my hands on one First range visit did not disappoint in accuracy....Factory match 120 gr A-max's...1/2" @ 100  Will be playing with handloads soon.

I think ...I'm going to like it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h276/mistem/P8180677.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h276/mistem/P8180680.jpg) Definitely a Beautiful job on the paint job... cool caliber and now with a nice looking stock...

bastids. The American Predator's are hard to come by in 6.5 Creedmoor...nobody has them in stock, but when they do I'll load up. We still have a couple of the standard Hawkeye Stainless models in stock. I think they're on the shelf for $629....
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Like a dumbass, I had a Ruger Hawkeye predator chambered for the Creedmoor earlier in the year and got talked into selling it for a ridiculous price.
Just thought that the American Predator would give me a chance to work with the cartridge for a few less chips...
I'll be patient. Eventually, my dealer will snag one.

I notice that Bud's has a hard time keeping em in stock, in any chambering. for whatever reason, they appear to be "the" popular model. course, im not one to talk, ive got two of em ...

I have this rifle but have yet to shoot it. Im still waiting for boyds to stop being lazy and make the pro varmint available for purchase. If not ill probably just end up with the prairie hunter since that has the tallest cheek rest. Also, barrel diameter that i measured was .730 but maybe im off. Can you post your velocity for the factory rounds you did record?
How are you liking the stock? I have a bipod attached to mine amd plan to preload it as the stock seems rather flimsy at the muzzle but not as bad as others.

I am currently wiping the grease off of one of those CDNN All Weather 6.5 CRs. It looks and feels pretty good, and am anxious to get out to the range Saturday. After six months of waiting on a Predator in 6.5 CR, I ordered this one.
