These Predators suck, here is a 100 yard group from my 22 Mag..... Thing is all over, I cant control it. Horizontal string, Im SURE it not me... Finally got out long enough to wade through the mud and sight my plain jane Ruger American 22 WMR in. Mine has the 22" barrel with sights. I had a Leupold 6x42 with a heavy duplex available so that is what I used. I used a set of Talley lightweight mounts. As I have a quite a bit of Winchester 45 gr Dynapoint 22 WMR I took it to the range. At 25 yd sight in range it made one ragged hole so I had hopes it might shoot. At 50 yds I was getting about 1" groups and the wind came up so I quit. I have several other types/brands of 22 WMR but this is what was available when I could find it lately and what I had the most of in one lot number. So I will clean it and try again later.

I had a standard 22 mag before the Predator I have now, neither gun will shoot anything but Hornady ammo worth a dam. Dont let it bother you, I bet it will bug hole at 50 and rip one hole at 100 with Hornady ammo.

You guys are a bad influence. I ordered 2 Predators yesterday. I am going to look for some other ammo.

I thought I should dangle some pixels regarding my last 50 yard outing with my predator. Ignore the left schitty, side of the paper as that had CCI mini mags puked at it (my predator hates Mini Mags). Having had good luck with CCI Standard Velocity in the past it was my first choice for this day of shooing.* I started with the bottom right target and worked my way up then left and back down. When I reached the top dot and saw how crappy my groups had become I adjusted where my font bag was resting and saw an immense improvement. See? Learning... Needless to say I was very happy with the groups I was getting. Not too shabby for a $275 gun IMO *These groups were also shot during a pretty decent crosswind, I'd guess between 6-10 mph

You guys are all arseholes and a bad influence I drove to the city today in 65 MPH winds (I took my wife's car and she is gonna be pissed when she sees her windshield as it wasn't blowing sand ...just rocks!) Went to 2 gun stores and bought the only Ruger American 22WMR I could find. 22" tube at $269. Hope you are all happy with yourselves I know I am I have been wanting a 22WMR rifle since I sold my old Marlin 783(?) back in the late 80's Excellent...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
