I guess the Predator will be released in 2024?

Not sure. Only seeing standard and ranch so far. It looks like quite a lot for the money, assuming it shoots with decent accuracy. On 7mm-08 and 308 the barrel is listed at 20 inches, but it's only 18.75 inches with the brake removed.

That look could grow on an older Ruger sicko if they added the classic Ruger Rifle Sights to that spiral fluted barrel.
And maybe the natural color stainless,as opposed to grey cerakote. Like the old Skeleton stainless.

I hope Talo and Lipseys reads this post.

Oh ,1 more thing.
I almost forgot about a walnut stock.

Pretty sure they'd just tell you to buy a Hawkeye.

I like the new stock. Not so sure about the spiral fluted barrel. Not sure what purpose it really serves on a hunting rifle. I think it is just done to look cool and I am not particularly crazy about the look.

I picked up a 7mm08

Looks like it’s accurate. Any pros or cons so far otherwise?

I bought a ranch in 300 blk the other day. Buttstock has changed, comes cerakoted, barrel is fluted and has a muzzle break, splash pattern on the stock, looks really good to me, haven’t put a scope on it and took it to the range yet but it feels great against the shoulder.
