Hunting Rifle Setup for 2021 (Deer Season, Ruger American Predator .308 Caliber)

[@vrazelsean1]

Winchester Model 70 featherweight in .308 for me. No issues with mine. Consistently drops deer with 150 gr hornady interlock. Best rifle I’ve owned.

[@jamessharp8762]

I’m a huge fan of wood and steel myself for a hunting rifle. Been running a Ruger M77 308 for about 15 years now. 150 gr core lockt does the trick for me

[@CaptainBerz]

Core lokt is a staple round. Nice!

[@steveholt3089]

consider Talley rings. they bolt directly to the receiver. lighter weight,cleaner and allows lower scope mounting. I removed the bolt and polished it with Flitz. it's now the smoothing cycling bolt gun i've felt. I went with the American Ranch in 300blk,similar ballistics to 30-30,short 16" threaded barrel,uses ar15 mags,very quite on the ears(unsuppressed) because of the small powder capacity of the case. I mounted a leupold 2.5x(5.5oz scope) in talley low rings. the rifle weighs 6.25lb empty. very nice short,handy deer/hog/coyote rifle out to 250yd or so.

[@CaptainBerz]

Nope. These are aluminum, so already light. Lighter wasn't my complaint, just the height. Which means I just need to get lower rings. Just did not want to spend the money, so dealing with what I got. I've trusted my life with Badger, I will trust my hunts with Badger. Haha. I do like that Talley is made in the USA though! That is a great setup you got there!

[@shane1034]

Did the same to my ruger ranch 450BM bolt with some lapping compound in the receiver and adhesive lapping microfinishing film paper on a wooden dowel and it’s smooth as silk now. I also just bought the ruger American tactical which is 308 win with 16” heavy barrel and Magpul stock and will be doing the same treatment you did to it with talleys and Boyd’s stock like Berz.

[@HonsRulz]

Looks really sharp with the walnut stock. Never thought a ruger american could look that good

[@CaptainBerz]

Haha! Putting lipstick on a pig.

[@jameslyman2230]

Curious that you said that you got rid of a model 70 due to the bolt and then bought a Ruger American. They are good guns but the stock and the bolt are the weakest part of the gun. We can hear the grind when you rack it. It a great looking gun and I’m sure it will shoot well, but it’s hard for me to believe the 70s bolt was worse.

[@MilitaryMarvel1939]

Everything you need, and nothing you don’t need for whitetail. The stock made it look much better.

[@CaptainBerz]

Agree, that green stock is hideous.

[@MrRhsmike189]

Love it dude! Hunting rifles depending on what spot im at. One spot ill take my ole Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. That has a leupold 1.5-4 with a custom ballistic turret. Shoot 200 grain core-lokt. Longer range spots ill Use my Tikka T3x in 25-06(most underated do all caliber). Droped it in a Bell and Carlson sporter stock. That I use 110 grain Hornaday Eld-x precision hunter. That projectile is screaming at about 3100 fps and I get about 18" of drop at 400 yards. Ive found that shooting from tree stands at longer ranges and at different "arcs" and angles the faster, flatter shooting calibers give me a higher percentage of getting that heart money shot with less math. Wind plays with it less also and recoil is minimal. I will also be using that exact scope this year.

[@CaptainBerz]

Interesting caliber. I’ve never heard much about it. I used core lokt a long time ago. Good stuff!

[@milo555100]

I didn’t know a ruger American could be so beautiful. Wow. Well done. Thank you for the content.

[@SHWELL11]

Nice choices Berz.. Looks like a very capable setup, and after watching your content for years, Im sure you can get the most out of it!

[@CaptainBerz]

Thanks bro. It’s almost always the user, not the gun that is the issue. 😂

[@ajarboe18]

I use a Remington 700 CDL chambered in 30-06 that has a walnut stock with a Leupold VX2 3-9, I also like the old school look not having exposed turrets. And I added a Geissele Super 700 trigger that is phenomenal!!

[@CaptainBerz]

Oh, very nice! I bet that trigger is da bomb.

[@DuckersAI]

Berz!! I got 600 grit sandpaper and sanded the raceway on the bolt on my ruger American! Gets rid of the zipper sound and makes it very smooth!

[@CaptainBerz]

Nice tip!

[@HARMARSCH2]

CaptainBerz, Nice set up for Hunting. Agreed Wood makes a hunting rifle look better. I used to Deer Hunt with my Dad’s .303 Rifle. We used to use Imperial Shells (Canadian Brand) 180 grain. One year I found a store that had a whole pile of the Ammunition we used, So I bought it all. I came home with 4 bags of it. My Dad asked why so much? I told him it was on Sale it’s what we use so I bought it all. Since I no longer hunt I gave my Rifle and my Winchester Lever Rifle to my Godson. He cleaned both guns and locked them away in his safe.

[@CaptainBerz]

Good on you, passing it down!

[@tylarhaugan7908]

Thats fantastic my moms bf gave his son a 20 inch 243 he passed it down to his son when he will give to his 2 year old boy when he's older i will be handloading 80 grain barnes ttsx for him somthing with no recoil.

[@steveb9894]

Mossberg patriot 30-06 Hornady 150 GR does great! Been using it for 5 years absolutely love it. And of course a wood stock

[@CaptainBerz]

Excellent! 👍

[@ronws2007]

Great discussion. Two seasons ago, I hunted with my Mossberg MVP LR 308. I have a Patriot that I have not taken hunting but I put in an MDT chassis. At that time, Boyd's was not making a stock for Patriot SA with action screws 4.71 inches apart. So, I got a chassis. Now, Boyd makes those. Last season, I hunted with the TC Compass II .308 W in the factory plastic stock and it would average around 1/2 MOA and I put on a muzzle brake. A Falcon Strike recoil pad. And some cheek pad from Goda Grip and then some craft foam and vet tape to raise the cheek. But I really like chassis and I contacted MDT and the pointed to their subsidiary, Oryx. A bit less expensive and I am glad I got one. LOP is good with a Pachmyr Decelerator (Falcon Strike, the premier company for hydraulic recoil pads, does not make one for the butt stocks on these chassis.) Of course, adjustable cheek. Once I set that, I don't need to change it. And the Oryx has a scoop designed to allow removing the bolt with out undoing other adjustments.) So, yeah, choose what is comfortable for you. As for accuracy, I have been averaging .5 MOA with Federal Fusion 165 gr.

[@locknloadvideo]

im running an 18" 6.5 grendel ar with 5x primary arms acss prism scope 123gr sst. killed 2 whitetails and a muley with it so far. 120, 180, and 350 yards respectively

[@CaptainBerz]

Nice setup!

[@8luggarage]

That's is fine looking rifle. Where I hunt in the mountains of western PA the mountain laurel is so thick. So I use a savage axis synthetic stock. Boring and plain but it's easy on the mind as far as no big deal if it gets beat up and scratches all over

[@CaptainBerz]

Boring and plain is fine if it works for you! No judgement here.

[@pikeman0357]

Walnut stocked model 70 Alaskan open sights, 165 grain ppu soft point. AWSOME setup.

[@CaptainBerz]

Nice!

[@blackie1of4]

Last year.. I went with a lightweight short handy carbine. I actually picked up a Savage Axis ii stainless steel chambered in the 350 Legend. The ammo is inexpensive. I use the Federal and Winchester 180 grain loads. Prints sub MOA! I harvested a big bodied pennsylvania eight point with it. Completely pass through and took out both lungs. The buck stumbled thirty yards to his death bed. Getting it ready for this season started in Feb. I upgraded to a Boyd's stock.. it's the forest camo laminate. Also.. installed a Glade's tactical bolt handle with knob. I love the looks of her now! Not sure the deer will like it any more than this past season though :)

[@blackie1of4]

Also .. took the Bushnell 3x9 that came with it off and topped it with a Bushnell 1.5x4 for this season.

[@CaptainBerz]

Sub MOA, ALL DAY! Nice!

[@blackie1of4]

[@CaptainBerz]

Rock on!

[@scottbozarth8459]

*pre 64 And since 2007 the model 70s have gone back to controlled round feed like the old ones were. But even the push feed model 70s i own have nothing at all wrong with their bolt. That’s really neither here nor there though since the Ruger American is push feed anyway. So how’s its bolt better than the model 70? I like the Ruger American a whole bunch for a budget Rifle, but come on… better than the Model 70? Agree to disagree on that one.

[@CaptainBerz]

Yes, the bolt cycles more effectively, smoother and quicker than the recent, I think 2015, Model 70. But, I can agree to disagree.

[@Tbagels4659]

Nice tutorial on your Ruger American rifle, looks really nice. I also had a Winchester model 70 chambered in 30-06 that I also sold. That was the most inconsistent rifle I ever owned. My first hunting rifle was a Marlin 1894 chambered in .44 I still hunt with that rifle using Hornady custom hollow point I find they are better with brush and pack a accurate punch compared to the polymer tipped Lever revolution. I recently purchased from GunBroker a 1979 Marlin 336 chambered in 30-30 for my new hunting rifle. And might I add that Marlin 336 rifle is a can’t miss tack! driver!! 50 yards out to 120 yards using Winchester Super X soft point 150 grain box ammo. I’m Deer hunting upstate New York woods so most shots are within 50 to 60 yards. I’m also interested in finding a 308 bolt rifle with a 16” to 18” barrel that will be easy to walk the woods with.

[@CogentConsult]

Glad you like the stock. Darn good choice!

[@CaptainBerz]

Thanks!

[@joedart2932]

I switched from a Ruger m77, which is a better built rifle,to the Ruger American and haven't looked back. Lighter,smoother action and plenty accurate. Like that stock 👍

[@michaelrihel9584]

Too short, its perfect! thanks for sharing!

[@CaptainBerz]

Glad you liked it!

[@TrondOleJensen]

Awesome setup 😎 I get a Boyds stock for my Ruger next week.

[@Goldenwithaleash]

I recently bought a Bergara Wilderness Hunter in 6.5 Creedmore that I’m going to try this year on northern MI whitetail. Put a Primary Arms 3-18 with ACSS Apollo 6.5 reticle on it. The scope is more on the budget side but after using a PA 1-6 LPVO on one of my AR’s and loving it, i figured I’d give it a shot. Haven’t had a chance to break/sight in yet but I have a couple boxes of different hunting ammo from Remington, Barnes, and Hornady. I’ve been using a beautiful Rem 700 lightweight in 7mm-08 since the early 90’s and it’s been a great rifle but accuracy is a little lackluster. I hunt on a big private farm where it is possible to take shots out to 400-500 yards so I wanted to extend the range a bit. With my old Rem 700 I was never comfortable taking an ethical shot past 250 yards. We’ll see how it goes.

[@CaptainBerz]

I've been interested in the 6.5. Curious how it does for you. Seems to be a good option up to big game.

[@lessforloans]

howd you like that scope? been wanting one but its always out of stock. FFP do well on hunts for you?

[@Goldenwithaleash]

@@lessforloans haven’t bagged any game yet but it’s been great at the range.

[@cbsbass4142]

re-barreled my Stevens 200 .25-06 to 24 inches from the factory 22 inches, as I simply felt 22 inches was inappropriate for that caliber and wanted the extra velocity to match most loading manuals. (It needs a Boyds stock but shoots well.) Model 70 Featherweight in 7X57 will remain, since they aren't that common. For my short barrel at 20 inches I have my 1950 Winchester 94 in 32 Win Spec.

[@cordelmar]

That's my backpacking rifle @7.2lb with the scope and it shoots very accurate with 150gr Nosler Expansion tip bullet loaded with 46gr IMR, 3/4 inch group @ 100 yard's.

[@Clayman5577]

Hornady 129 grain sst Ruger American predator 6.5 creedmoor Done super well for me out to 340ish killed lots of deer . Longest track 30 yards . Minimal meat damage with high shoulder . Love that stock gonna look into that . I layed down my 308 when I got the 6.5 . Shoots a bit flatter at 300 .

[@Jeff-mo5gc]

Great review, how’s the inletting on your Boyd’s stock as far as fit?, are there any gaps between the metal and the wood? I had a bad experience with my Ruger Hawkeye stock from Boyd’s (The AT one stock) , it had a lot of gaps and poor craftsmanship in the receiver area. I ended up sending it back and got a new stock, but with just as bad fit issues. Yours looks amazing! I now have a 308 Ruger Scout rifle with a 18.7 inch barrel. It is by far my favorite hunting rifle. I have a 2-7 leupold fire-dot scope mounted on it. I thought the firedot was a little excessive, but ounce I hunted with it, I was in love. It really draws your eye in and gives you a nice aiming point especially on pigs. I hunt with any 180 grain soft point mainly because the rifle shoots routinely ~1 MOA with them. I haven’t lost any game yet Deer, pigs, cow….yes cows, I’ve had to put down a few. I love the adjustable length of pull, light weight, and quick handling when climbing up, in and out of blinds, trucks, ATVs, and brush. It’s just a great set-up. I really like your rifle, best looking Ruger American I’ve seen.

It transformed the rifle into beautiful rifle. I went to Boyd’s website but it was so confusing I’m not sure I could ever duplicate the one shown in you video. Would you be kind enough to share the specs you used when you ordered your stock? Also, what was the brand of pillows you added to the stock? Thank you!!!

[@90thReenactor]

Nice setup. The shorter barrels are handy in places like PA or parts of the Midwest where there's a lot of thickets and hedgerows. At least when I lived in MI, there wasn't many places where you could take a shot at a deer at longer than 300yds. A handy little rifle like that is just perfect. Tikka makes an excellent rifle if you ever get a chance to look at them.

I’ve got at least a half dozen Ruger Americans, Predators, Ranches………..they all shoot rather well, can’t complain and are great for what they are. Cheap, plastic, disposable turds! And, still American built. So, there’s that. However, trying to shine one up with a new stock, new bolt handle, new trigger ( me, not you) let’s be honest the Ruger knockoff Accu-trigger trigger sucks, is trying to turn a sows ear into silk purse. Better off just buying a Tikka, you’ll have nearly as much in the Ruger “project” before it’s all said and done! And the action still won’t be as nearly nice as the Tikka and the Tikkas has far superior magazines if you handload. IMO.🇺🇸

Nobody in their right fucking mind would sell a model 70 feather weight, I have the same exact rifle with a old ass weaver scope, I can touch 3 shots with a quarter at 100 yards, I just can’t Phantom nor justify trading it in for a ruger American I have had the 450 bushmaster in ruger American yes it was accurate, but it didn’t stand a chance when it came to the model 70, just blows my mind, that’s just my opinion
