Predator has a threaded barrel. I'd buy one.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Saw one at Cabelas in Allen last week. Despite all of the good reports on the Ruger American, it seemed very "cheap" to me. Boyds does have some stocks for the American but not as many as a Savage. I found a Savage 6.5 Creedmoor for the same price and I'm willing to spend the extra $65 for threading. Just my

Took it to the range for the initial sight in Friday. Once it's broke in, load tweaked a little and a better scope than the Redfield I put on it Saw one at Cabelas in Allen last week.

I was putting up cloverleaf's without trying very hard and a warm barrel.
