No feedback for you but I too have noticed they are always gone. I really dig the predator version in 6.5 creedmoor. I've read nothing but good reviews. For the price how can you go wrong.

I am on several lists also looking for the 300 blko. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on one of these guns, I have been told that it is a nice little gun.

Yall reckon Ruger didn't know they'd be this popular and they aren't prepeared to build enough to keep up with demand? Execs. said "lets build this thing, get it on the market, and see how it goes before we go all in".

Anyone have experience with one? I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive suppressor host, and have read both good and bad reviews on these as well as the Ruger Predator models, notably poor accuracy. I don't have any experience with Rugers, other than a 10/22.

Might I suggest a Tikka T-3 Lite and have a smith chop it down to 16".

Initially that is what I did on the RH Tikka rental rifle project. Factory barreled action, factory stock and bottom metal, had my smith cut it to 18" and thread it. Then I put my 10" Tiger Shark suppressor on it and worked up the load suppressed. Very handy rifle!

I got mine in a couple weeks ago. Have a little range time with it and I like it. I got it for my son to use when he is a bit older and it may not be suppressed and was not using sub-sonics with it. May go back out today and get serious about it. If I do, will let you know how it groups. Have some Barnes ammo and some that Chad loaded.
It took awhile to finally get here. I also know that Champion in College Station has some come in this past week. May be gone by now.

If it hadn't snowed six inches in Lubbock I'd be out shooting my standard Ruger 7mm-08 today. frown

Shots fired! First range trip with the 7mm-08. This group was with 120 Fed Fusion. I had a good group started with Rem 140gr Accutip (first two shots were 1/2") but somebody behind me fired up a Cummins in the middle of my third shot and I had a bit of a flier. It was cold and conditions weren't much fun but I at least got a few rounds downrange. I'm not a great shot by any means (yet) but was happy with the results so far.

Looks good. I have heard the Ruger Americans are very accurate out of the box rifles. I like the bedding block system they use with their stocks.

I'm on the waiting list too.. Academy stood me up. Went to find out what was going on.. 'request was denied'. No explanation, although I knew it was too good to be true!

Geez, wait till the official CTD haters hear about this. Hard to find a good supplier.
