-Magpul Hunter Stock
-Timney Trigger
-Anarchy Outdoors Bolt Handle
-Bowers Group Vers 375

I love my Ruger American 308. I took one buck last season and I can't wait until I get out there again. I can print sub 1 MOA groups with 168gr SMK.
I run 45 grains of Varget behind a 168gr. pill and maintain 1/4-1/2 MOA groups far beyond reasonable hunting distances. Excellent rifle!
Looking forward to your next video.
I like Magpul stocks. I got one for my Mossberg 590A1 SPX 12 ga.
Magpul stocks are hard to beat for the money.
Yeah I'm going with this over the savage 110...saving some money
I’ve got a Savage 110 and it’s a great rifle, I’ll be reviewing one soon along with the Accu-Fit stock. For the money, though, I don’t think you can beat the Ruger American. Lots of aftermarket support, as well. It’s weird that the Savage 110 is the oldest continuously-produced American bolt-action rifle on the market but lacks a lot of aftermarket support.
Well I have it now...ordering the arken optics sh4 Gen 2 scope now...I really like your bolt handle.
@@nickrussett259 great choice on the Arken! You can get a replacement bolt handle from Anarchy Outdoors. They have lots of different options for colors and patterns. Just make sure to get the firing pin tool. It helps a lot with the bolt disassembly.

Exactly the setup I'm considering! Too bad the Magpul Hunter stocks are sold out.
I have a Savage Rifle I’ve been wanting to put in a Magpul Hunter stock but I’ve been waiting nearly two years for Magpul to release it. For now it’s sitting in a Choate stock.
Me too.
Sweet lookin gun, i have a predator 308, looking to get a magpul x hunter stock for it.
Whats the weight without the suppressor?
Tactical Mc'Lovin!!!
😁 It was between McLovin or Muhammad!
@@yellowhammeroutdoors5516 I really appreciate your input!
Thanks, I appreciate that. Stay tuned for more videos coming up soon.
I got a Ruger American Predator in .308 I switched to a Magpul stock one problem I've ran into is the factory Ruger AI style mags don't work.
I've been considering getting the Go-Wild edition in 308. Do you have any hands on experience with that model? I like the cerakote finish and have heard that the action is a little smoother than the base models, but I'm assuming the stock is still a little flimsy as all the American stocks are.
I have experience with the Go-Wild edition in a 350 legend. The Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish is very nice on those models. The stocks, however, have the same problems as other factory stocks, they just come in a camo pattern. I will say, however, even with the flimsy stock, these rifles shoot sub-MOA at 100 yards. I only see the stock upgrade as absolutely necessary if you are attaching a bipod (pressure interferes with the free float) or if you are going to be shooting further than 100-200 yards.
I have two .308 go wilds - got to have backups. I stayed with the original camo stocks as they seemed fine for hunting. Both guns shot sub MOA out of the box. I did add a timney to both guns. The muzzle brake is nice also.
I have the Go Wild in .308. I love the rifle, don't know if it might be that I got a 'one in a million', but, I can't praise the rifle enough. Took deer with it in the '21 season. Solid, no frills, reliable rifle.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching!
nice setup
Thank you!
Good looking unit 👍👍
Appreciate it!
So you went with the compact version of the predator. Does it have any issues with ejection?
Yes, I have the 18” barrel. Being a .308, I have zero issues with ejection. The only issues I have ever had are hard to lift bolts with loads exceeding published data. This is to be expected as these loads also exhibited other signs of excessive pressure. Even with a 18” barrel I was holding sub-MOA groups at 600 yards this weekend. Will be publishing a follow up video of that in the next week or so.
My most accurate rifle...aside from my Ruger American Rimfire
How’d you change the bolt
I used an Anarchy Outdoors bolt to replace it. They have lots of different colors and patterns to choose from. Be sure to get the firing pin tool. It’s a big help. Give their website a visit at www.anarchyoutdoors.com/ruger-precision-ruger-american-bolt-handle-upgrade/
What is the part# on your magpul stock. I have the same 308 predator and put on MAG931. There is a good size gap between the barrel and stock and wonder if thats normal.
Yes it allows the barrel to be free floating
I have my Magpul stock on the way :) Quick question. What are the height of your scope rings? Medium?
I’m using medium rings and they’re perfect for me. Let me know how you like the stock!
Great video!!! thanks for sharing... New subscriber here!
I really appreciate that. Every view and subscription makes a huge difference! Will be coming out with new content at the range and in the woods very soon.
@@yellowhammeroutdoors5516 I agree... I have been working on growing my channel to 100 and finally hit it.. now on to the next goal 500.... Looking forward to your future videos.. I just found you so I have a few to catch up on anyway:)
@@yellowhammeroutdoors5516 Looking forward to it!!
what scope rings did you use?
These are Vortex 30mm tactical rings, medium.
@@yellowhammeroutdoors5516 ty
What’s the parts list you have on your ruger? I’m thinking of doing something similar
Magpul Hunter Stock, Timney Trigger, Anarchy Outdoors Bolt Handle, and Primary Arms 4-14x44 Scope.
@@yellowhammeroutdoors5516 muzzle break and suppressor?
The suppressor is a Bowers Group Vers 375. It’s a direct attach suppressor so it attaches directly to the barrel threads.
👍
Thanks for the watch!
Is that the green or the tan stock?
This is the Tan one.
Why put all that on a sporter weight barrel? 3
Because at the end of the day it’s still a woods rifle. The sporting contour still gets great groups out to 600 and beyond.
You should call your channel . The Cupid 💘 channel so much love you just love everything
It’s funny, when editing the video I realized I said that a lot. It’s true, though, I love the set up on my Ruger American.
Nice coyote hunting videos, btw. Thanks for watching.
@@yellowhammeroutdoors5516 thanks brother I just Thought it was funny how the love you were giving the rifle But it was just a little good nature kidding
I don’t mind a little ribbing, it’s all good. Thanks again for the watch. I’ve got more content coming soon!
With all the up grades you could have bought a higher quality rifle.. each his on
Where is the fun in that? It is much more satisfying to build something than to buy it. Anyway, even with the upgrades I’m at a lower price point than high end rifles and getting match grade accuracy out to 1000+ yards with an 18” barrel. This rifle holds its own against my match grade rifles with 26” barrels worth more than this entire package.
I have considered this heavily and this set up cost me around 950. The rifles in this price range are quality for sure but not at the level of this set up. This set up has more customization and fit to the shooters preference than something at this price range. To each their own like you said but its not like rifles in the 900 price range are elite rifles or anything, which neither is this one. I guess what I am trying to say is, rifles in that price range are not any better than this set up.
