Predator Rifles...
« on: December 29, 2007, 09:06:57 PM »
I imagine that everyone has seen or heard about the Savage Predator Rifle.  Its a good looking rifle too, but I have quite a few Remington 700's, and would prefer to keep most of them the same.

I was looking through an on line catalog, and noticed a Remington 700 Predator rifle, yea, maybe its a copy cat of the Savage rifle, it was camoed and short for fast handeling.

The Problem? I can't seem to find this rifle anywhere! Anyone else seen it???

Seen that a few months ago (the AR), but I'm interested in the bolt 700. Saw it on an on-line catalog, think it was called the "Predator", but am unsure of that.

For some reason my 'puter won't let me on Gun Broker, but I don't imagine that there will be one on there.

I imagine that a Youth Model would be perfect, and they have a camo model available now. Just wish they had some left-handed Youth Models available....my youngest son is a lefty/left eye dominent.

why not build one...lefty stock, buy a barrel, buy the right action...700 parts are everywhere, not too expensive, unless you want it to be.

I've got a couple of lefty HS Precisioin stocks laying around, the problem is getting an action.

Remington actions just arn't laying around, and finding a lefty is like finding a needle in a haystack. I can get a new rifle for around 350 bucks, in that HORRIBLE SPS stock. Man are those things el-cheapo! Hollowed out ABS P.O.S. 

I'd just like to see a Remington Predator, if it indeed exists.
I think we all know how to build one though.

Are you talking about the Remington 700 Varmint rifle? If so, Joe's carries it. Most stores don't have it in stock, but I believe Kirkland has one in .223 and I know Bellevue has it in stock in .22-250.  :)

I might be wrong but I don't think the Remington 700 Predator is out yet, anywhere.
