Ruger American Hunter

[TruthTellers]

Ruger's now offering American's with Magpul stocks factory installed and with a muzzle brake too. Does anyone know if these use the standard American barrel or the heavier Predator barrel?

I'm thinking since it comes with a one piece rail and threaded barrel, it's the Predator, but I'm not sure.

It appears to be an even heavier barrel than the Predator. The specs show .85" at the muzzle. My 308 Predator is .75" at the muzzle. Weight is a touch over 9 lbs before optics. But those Mag Pul stocks are much heavier too.

Over 9 pounds before optics and designated as the “hunter” model.
It’s certainly not a spot and stalk rifle...
