Quoted: I’m sure it shoots well. But a 9+ lb rifle is not going to be an elk hunting rifle for me. Wow ELK? I have never been ELK hunting I just hunt Deer, Pigs & Coyotes. I think I would use a 7mm Magnum or .300 Win Mag, not a .308 for that do you hunt elk with a .308? |

Quoted: https://i.imgur.com/zEDCEU1h.jpg It's nice to see them offering the Magpul and American combo directly from the factory now. I took a 308 predator and swapped out the shitty poly stock for the Magpul hunter in OD green a while back. Sounds great with my Sandman K and YHM R2. Nice man. |

I’ve dropped a lot (18 IIRC) of elk. 3 have been with a .308, they are not that hard to kill. I do use a .300WM Or 30-06 on open country hunts where I might have to shoot out to 400 yds, but most of my hunting is in timber and Shots are much closer. |

I have the Davidson's model with the 22 inch barrel. So far so good with some handloads I whipped up quickly to get it on paper. I still have some loads to test but I'm confident it will do 1 MOA or better once I find the load it likes.   It is pretty heavy, but I didn't get it to hump over hill and dale with. |

Quoted: This. Quoted: Quoted: That's not a hunting rifle. LOL That's a price point tactical rifle with stealth marketing. This. This again. I have a Bergara HMR and used it for one hunting season. Hated the weight. The next season I bought a RAP .308 just to save weight. I do have a Magpul stock on a Rem700 and its very nice for what it is. Its not a heavy profile rifle so its not very heavy. Thats just a Ruger Predator with a Magpul stock from the factory. I mean i like it but wouldn’t take it hunting. |
