Yes! I've been wanting a Predator type AR from Ruger. If you watch the video Mark Gurney says that it has 5r rifling. It's a nice set of features and there is already one on gunbroker with a starting bid of $649! Hell of a deal for that rifle.

It looks like the trademark was applied for in November of 2016, and approved in May of 2017. So they applied for the trademark well after the American pistol was introduced. It must be something they are planning on forging ahead with. Whatever it is......

Well, I had a weak moment and bought a Hawkeye FTW hunter in .300 win mag! The deal was too good to pass up, and I've got a Leupold vx6HD 3-18x44 that needs a good home. The American Predator is still high on my list. Based on all the positive feedback, I will probably end up with one before the...

That's a possibility I suppose. I still hope it's a new handgun. New ammo=boring!

I'm going to throw out a wild guess here. I might be totally wrong, but here goes. I think we might see a new line of revolvers. Yes, revolvers. Given the success of the Ruger LCR, I'm going to bet that the frames will be polymer. Also, given the cartridge choices, I'm guessing they will be...

Just browsing a website that keeps track of new trademark names. It seems that Ruger has recently trademarked the names Security 9, Security .380, Security 40 and Security 45. Obviously the original Security series were double action revolvers, but all of these sound like semi-auto pistols...

I bought one of the .275 Rigby Africans. It's a really nice rifle. Slightly better wood than the average Hawkeye rifle. I would certainly spring for a Hawkeye African in .300H&H. If they really wanted to think outside the box they could chamber one in .318 Westly Richards and work with hornady...

I appreciate the responses guys. Im glad to hear that it was only the early guns that had magazine problems. I figure the RAR Predator in 6.5 will make a good all around hunting rifle. I've got plenty of pretty fence posts in my safe, and I would be sick if I scratched or dinged any of them...

I might be tempted by one of these, but it would be a no brainer for me if it were blued and not stainless. Something about the stainless just doesn't look quite right combined with the old world look of the mannlicher stock. Still, it's good to see Ruger still turning out new versions of the...

I know they are going to sell a metric ton of these things. But I was really hoping for a ranch rifle in 6.5 Grendel. Kinda disappointed.

Alright guys, I'm looking for some honest opinions here. I'm on the verge of buying an American Predator in 6.5 Creed. I've read all the reviews and watched every YouTube video I could find. And then this morning I happened to stumble across several posts on other forums regarding magazine...

Yeah, I'm gonna reserve judgement until I actually see them......but both of them kinda leave me scratching my head. It's almost like Ruger is trying a bit too hard to come up with something new and different.

I saw that episode as well. I sincerely hope that the barrel is threaded 1/2x24 so the Hawkeye muzzle brake will fit it. If not, Ruger needs to release a muzzle brake that will fit the new magnum American rifles. IMHO 7.5 pounds is just too damn light when you are talking 300 and 338 Win mags...

It appears that Ruger has filed trademarks for something called the "LCRX" and "Ruger Combat Pistols". One of the specific trademarks that caught my eye was "Ruger Combat 357". Sounds interesting. Any thoughts?
