Good buy, they are a little crude but dead nuts accurate and pretty reliable. Great truck gun.

319 is a great price I think. The ranch model 7.62x39 is 599 at sportsman’s warehouse.
I’d like one in 6.5 Grendel or the short Russian.

I've been using one in 30-06 for a few years. It's very accurate for a low priced gun. I've only had 2 complaints. One is the lack of a bolt lock. The other is the useless mags they send with them. They sent me 3 replacements before I got one that would reliably feed the rounds to the top. The rest hang up down inside.

I bought a .308 when they first came out some years back. It kills deer pretty good. Factory stock, factory ammo, Redfield scope. Paid $259 out the door at BassPro in Birmingham.

Picked up one new in .270 last summer for $227 out the door. When Doug finally got Burris FF II 3-9x40’s in stock recently I ordered a couple and mounted one up in Leupold DD’s. For a budget set up I like it, still haven’t shot it yet though.

Rock Chuck;
I had the same problems with the mag on my Ruger American 5.56.
It wouldn't feed the last round.
Someone posted instructions on Campfire for the fix;
You open the feed lips of the mag with a needle file, just a "hair" at a time 'till you mag feeds the last round.
Worked GREAT for me! My mag feed 100% now!

Roger,
That stock WILL flex! When you sight it in, move your front rest closer to the action or you will get flyers that will drive you nuts. I own two RAR Predators and had the same issue with both.
One I put in a Boyd's laminate stock, the other I glass bedded the action & barrel out to the beginning of the barrel taper. Both are sub-MOA capable rifles.

Ed Thanks, Ed, I plan on swapping out the stock and getting the mag conversion.

the limited run of 358 WINs they made are priced outrageous on GB Bought mine early $399. Great little rifles. Have a Leupold ultralight 2.5 on it. Right at 7lbs.
