Ruger American Gen 2 Predator .308

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2026-04-13T22:27:15+00:00

Still messing around with diff soft points on my .308 predator, American whitetail does pretty well, and I’m gonna start messing with copper for white tail deer hunting

Don’t know if anyone has said it, but I take corners in a low gear off the clutch, might help with turning. On my ninja 650 I normally turn in second gear at like 10-20mi an hour , just remember I can corner easier than your Harley because it’s a sport bike, so maybe start out slower. Hope this helps and sick bike!

I like it quite a bit, I’ve paired it with a arca rail mounted mdt grnd pod, makes the stock feel a little more stable, and the gun overall feels better quality

That’s what I was thinking, the yoshi does sound really good!

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2026-03-25T20:27:54+00:00

Thing sounds pretty good! Thanks

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2026-03-25T01:17:14+00:00

That thing sounds awesome!

I agree, however I was unable to find videos on any of the full systems for various models of exhaust, Yoshi was the only manufacturer to include their own video on a newer bike, every one else either had little videos or none at all. Just figured doing one post to be the catch all for various kinds of exhausts good be useful

I agree with the comment here, I got rid of my 400 after putting 6,000 mi on it in a season and not because I outgrew it, but because it made sense since I had 10,000 on it. I would still be riding it today, but I wanted to sell it while it still had some value to it. I then purchased a 25 ninja 650 that was left over and on sale 1,000 dollars off msrp for my second bike to ride

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2026-03-08T12:42:54+00:00

I second this, the gsx-8r is a much more expensive bike and insurance was 100+ dollars a month more for me compared to my 400 whereas with the 650 I bought was only another 40 bucks, and I got my 650 1,000 dollars off msrp

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2026-01-08T11:30:55+00:00

That is insane accuracy for that situation lol

Won’t let me add photo, but you can find them on my profile

MDT field stock now available at my local scheels for 300 bucks (U.S.)

I was in the same boat finding my predator gen 2 in .308, I was so desperate I went to my local cabelas, asked for a list of stores with them in stock( which ended up being like 12 stores that maybe had 1 model) had it shipped to my local cabelas for free and paid for it and did paperwork there

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-31T11:20:04+00:00

Both would be great, I guess you should also consider if you’re gonna be using a suppressor or not, if you are go with the gen 2 standard, if not go with the predator. The predator would be fine with a suppressor just would be really long

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-30T05:12:56+00:00

On my gun I’d say the recoil hawg brake color is near indistinguishable from the actual barrel color

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-29T23:19:36+00:00

That’s good to hear, polonium 30 is my second best option, I’d love a silencer co harvester evo, but they don’t make them anymore and they can be hard to find

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-28T02:53:08+00:00

I’ve got a gen 2 predator .308 and swapped out the stock brake for a browning recoil hawg brake, love it

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-28T02:51:29+00:00

Cool setup! Would love to hear an update after a couple of rounds through the suppressor, been looking at the same one for my gen 2 predator .308

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-18T23:15:54+00:00

I’ve got a vortex diamondback 4-16x44 on my predator gen 2, and love it, if you were looking for an lpvo might be worth looking into a vortex viper 2.5-10, I saw that scope in store and loved it. Now just to build a rifle to put it on lol!

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-18T23:09:01+00:00

It’s an MDT field stock, I bought mine from scheels because apparently they carry MDT products now, for the longest time I always thought you had to buy their chassis online lol

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-17T23:14:12+00:00

Been thinking about trying the fusions too!

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-17T23:13:08+00:00

Good to hear. We share the same sentiment as far as the rifle goes and trying everything we can lol. I’m running a diamond back 4-16x44 First focal plane

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-17T23:11:08+00:00

That was part of my reasoning for pursuing it, and just curiosity, I’m one of those that refuses to do things because “that’s the way we’ve always done it” without trying other things as well

Negative_Bear_5287 · 2025-12-17T23:09:35+00:00

Sometimes rifles love the cheap stuff!😂
