Is the vented rib another option on the predator? (1st rifle on the left).

Alright, if you want to get technical you better reread :wink:

You are referring to a shotgun, I said first rifle.....grin...

For you slow folks I should have said "second gun from the left".... :wink:

Good luck trying to find one, let alone in .204. I mean that.....

It weighs 7 1/4 w/o scope. Add 14 oz. for the scope plus sling and loaded belly I figure a carry weight of a hair under 9...

PERFECT weight for a rifle leaning on shooting sticks, which it will be, IMHO....

I'm kinds digging it with the black scope with black Talleys atop the camo rifle..... :wink:

Can you tell I'm tickled?

LOL! I know, it was cheap & easy, but I chuckled a little when I was typing the post.


But, in some states, that evil black thing with the vented rib....MUST be an assault rifle. :)

I ordered one of those Predator camo rifles today in 204. We'll see how long it takes. As long as it's here before October 1, i'm cool with it 8) .

How's the stock. Is it like the ones on the FV's but camo?? I just looked at some camo scopes for mine when it comes in. The Nikon Omega with BDC reticle was SWEET. It has SUPER fine hairs and circles. NOT like the 2x4's they used for crosshairs in my Buckmaster with BDC. That's what I'm going with.

Joe, I like the stock...

I've played with the 110 and the 111 series and this stock is not nearly as "flimsy". Mine was free floating with no pressure points at all and I'm pleased with the stock. Don't know what else to say...grin...

It is rounded and fits in my shooting sticks like a glove...

I really like the black atop it right now so I'll leave the scope as it is for now. Good luck with the Omega scope. I can't like fine cross hairs as mine is a hunting rig....

Let us know how you like yours when you get in it...

Glen,

When you shoot in 98 degree heat it quickly goes from 5 shot to 3 shot groups....grin....
