For 2017, Ruger will be offering its American Rifle Predator edition available in a package deal that includes a Vortex scope.

Chambered in .204 Ruger, .223 Rem., 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win. chamberings, the Predator has a medium-contour barrel, which enables better accuracy over longer strings of fire, but is still light enough to be carried easily and brought on target quickly while hunting. The Predator model is offered with a moss green synthetic stock and a one-piece aluminum scope rail. Like all Ruger American Rifles, the Predator features a cold hammer-forged barrel, accuracy-enhancing Power Bedding, a tang safety and the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger.

Mounted on the Predator model of the Ruger American Rifle is the Vortex Crossfire II 4-12 x 44 scope. Factory-installed on the rifle, this long eye relief scope features a fast-focus eyepiece, fully multi-coated lenses and resettable MOA turrets.

The package will ship with an MSRP of $699.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued? Read on about this often unfairly overlooked hunting classic.
