Are you going to reload? I would like to know what base to lands dimension is for say 123 ELD's

Only way to know that is to messure your own chamber.

I was asking the owner if intends to reload for HIS rifle. I don't own a Predator in 6.5G but I was interested in what Ruger chamber dimensions were.

I have 2 ar /grendels and recently acquired the RAP and can say this thing is ridiculously accurate for a cheap bolt gun. factory Hornady just under 1 moa and my handloads all under an inch so far. had 1 10 shot group covered with a quarter. 28 gr of 8208 123 sst. same charge under 120 bt at 3/4" for 5 shot group. now to just fine tune to see if I can shrink that. so far very impressed with the predator

I have on in jail and it will be released on the 25th, can't wait

Well I got mine out of jail on Friday, and took it to the range today (1/26) very impressed with the accuracy. Of course I have to put lipstick on a pig, Timney trigger, using a sled that I made to fit damn tight, and a 6-24 Athlon FFP scope. My barrel doesn't touch any of the stock which surprised me. The only thing I really noticed when I took it home I blue lotited the scope rail the screws were not even snug and a lot of oil under the rail so I cleaned everything and torqued them as well as the action to the stock.

Anyone notice when the bolt id pulled all the way to the rear that there quite a large open behind the mag.. Using a sled instead of a magazine a shell would drop back there and it was no real effort to get it out but today I did some machining first on Delrin to see if it would work and then made one of aluminum to fill that gap. Just something to do in the shop.
