My buddy shoots the 22-250 in RAP and he says it's his favorite calling rifle and he's got a lot of them. It's not his nicest or most expensive but he loves it

I was informed last night that I won a Ruger American Predator in the caliber of my choice. I'm flush with rifles in the 243 to 300 Wea. mag. range and was thinking 22-250. Anyone have one in this chambering and if so, your thoughts. It would be the AICS magazine version. I have one in 22-250. It has a 1/10 twist and I shoot 60 grain bullets out of it. It is an exceptionally accurate rifle. It's not the prettiest but it does what it is supposed to. I have not converted it to an AICS magazine but it appears to be an easy fix. kwg

I have one it .223 and put it in a Boyd's thumbhole feather weight and it shoots lights out. I smoothed out the ripples in the chamfers of the bolt channel and it operates much better. The bolt action was really the only flaw in the gun.

That 1:10” .22-250 would be mean with 53 V-Maxes.

Huntsman,
Does that boulder on the end of that long skinny barrel not affect your shots? Just asking because I’m interested in purchasing a suppressor myself.
Wac em and stack em

It does not affect accuracy at all. But the weight out there changes the POI about .7 mils low at my 200 yard zero.

I really like my RAR-P in 204 RUG. I bought it back in 2015 when you could buy them for between $350 and $400 out the door all day long. Mine has the old rotary magazine and feeds okay, but will occasionally jam if I'm trying for a double on a coyote that runs off a way after its partner gets shot and stops to look back. The one thing that I don't like about the 1st generation RAR-Ps is the low stock comb, but a Beartooth comb riser kit is a cheap/easy fix. I've had around 2 dozen RAR-Ps and have spent money to swap stocks to Boyds Heritage style, but exercising hindsight, I would have saved my money and just bought the Beartooth comb riser kits.

Probably more than anyone wants to know but the raffle was for a Ruger American Predator in the caliber of your choice or $500. The shop had 3 in stock, all with rotary magazines, two 6.5s and a 308. They had a hang tag of $499. Owner said he’d order any other caliber and when I asked for the price he said $459. OK. Maybe the Gen 2 is lowering the price or him not having to hold on to it and dicker. I chose the cash but may have him order one for me as I am flush with 308s and have a 6.5.
Anyway. Thanks for the information
