First I want to thank all those that responded to my post in my search for my 308 rifle. after reviewing many rifle brands. I decided to purchase a Ruger American Predator in .308 with a vortex crossfire ii 4-12x44 scope today. I will be taking it to the range soon and will try different ammo to see which one it likes the best. I will post the result with pictures. I have also purchased a cheek riser and muzzle brake. will post picture of rifle once it has very thing I want on it.
