Overview
The Ruger American Rifle Gen II Predator is the practical entry point for a suppressed bolt-action host. The 6.5 Creedmoor model uses a 22 inch spiral-fluted barrel, 5/8x24 muzzle threads, an AI-style detachable magazine, and a factory Picatinny scope base, so it can take the same core optic, ammo, suppressor, and AICS magazine recommendations as more expensive precision rifles.
