I've owned 3 of the Predators in 223, 308, and 6.5CM. The 223 uses AR magazines and the 308 used AI style magazines. No issues with either. The 6.5CM shot as well as any $1000+ rifle, but I did have issues with the magazines.
I paid $350 each for mine and I can remember seeing standard rifles for as little as $250. At that price they were a bargain. I sold the 308 and 6.5 for more than I paid but kept the 223 for now.
At today's prices I'd pass. For just a little more I like Tikka.
