the only you are gaining is 6" of barrel length with the predator. if you are only shooting to 300yds the 16" will work fine. I was shooting a 4" steel plate at 200 yards with my ranch using cheap pmc bronze fmj ammo. hit the plate round for round for 20 rounds.

Stick with the Ranch. I prefer the shorter barrel as it ends up being as long as the Predator with the suppressor installed. I liked mine so much I bought the 300 BLK Ranch as well!

After looking some more I am going to pick up the ranch. The shorter length with the suppressor, lighter weight, outweigh the negligible loss in velocity for my uses. I wish there were more stock options for the American. I personally don't like the MDT LSS and after checking with them MDT isn't planning on making the HS3 for the American, XLR isn't making a chasis for the American at all. I am probably going to end up with the boyds pro varmint and doing some modifications to it. |

What kind of accuracy can one expect from a Ranch model?

Though not typical, I recently shot a .464" group from 85 yards using IMR 4895 and Hornady 55 gr Soft Point with cannelure and a SilencerCo Harvester mounted. It is not a bullseye rifle but the accuracy has really surprised me and it is much better than most need in the typical hunting situation. |

300BLK Ranch. 110gn nosler varmageddon over h110 at 100yrds shot off of bags. This is the rifles best group to date but they don't get much worse. I have been impressed with these American series rifles, for the cost it's hard to find a better shooter. |
