What is your predator gun?
« on: January 27, 2012, 06:09:16 AM »
Not sure if this topic is already on here, but figured if not, then it needs to be. So, tell us what your predator gun is and what type of optic you use. Pictures are always great.

I have 2 that I switch back and forth with.  My 6-284 puts a serious smack down on them and the other is my recently rebarreled .223AI both are built on Remmy model 700's

My 6-284 has a NF 3.5-15x50 and the .223ai has a 4.5-14x40 Leupy Tactical

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

That is a beauty!  I shoot a Bushmaster AR in either 223 or 204 but am not able to consistently hit targets at the ranges that VV does.

I am shooting a T/C Encore in .22-250 with a Vortex 4-12x40 scope with the mil dot reticle. Really like this setup.
Sorry for the crappy cell pic.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Just picked up a Ruger M77 in 220 swift with a heavy barrel and a leupold legends 5x15 scope.  And shooting winchester supreme ballistic in 40 grain only shot it seven times seems to be an extreme fast round. Still trying to figure out the scope focus part of it.  I will try to post a pic when i get home.  I also have another M77 in .243 with redfield 3x9 and shoot the same ammo just in 55 grain.  But for bears I shot 95 grain fusions with it.

I use the same gun for predator as i do for big game because that is what I am most comfortable shooting 200+

Ruger M77 MKII in .300 win mag with a leupold vx3 3-12 with a 50mm front, shooting 180 gr hand loads...it will sit anything down where they stand. If it doesn't, just a bad shot made by the user.
