| Anybody have any experience w/ the Bushmaster Predator? Specifically the upper portion? I'm looking at getting an 18-20" upper w/ a heavy/bull bbl that will be used for target shooting and the occasional coyote/pig. the Bushmaster Predator seems to fit the bill and the price is right at $500 new. Soo, what say you? Any other options in that price range? |

Soo, what say you? Any other options in that price range? $500! That is really inexpensive. It doesnt have a bull barrel, just a heavy barrel. Remember it is SAMMI chambered not NATO. It does have a cool 1/8 twist. |

It does have a cool 1/8 twist. It says it has a "hybrid SAAMI spec chanber" which I took to mean a Wylde chamber, is that incorrect? Either way, I handload most stuff I shoot and this would probably shoot only handloads so the .223/5.56 thing isn't that important. |

I have a Predator complete. It shoots ok. I've had a few issues popping primers with black box American Eagle Tactical XM193 only. All other XM193/5.56 has been ok. I've contacted Bushmaster and they suggested sending it in but I never have. The barrel is not chrome lined. According to what they told me it uses a Compass Lake chamber, not 223, which supports 5.56.
I built another upper to use on that lower. |
