Description of my Predator Rifle

[Kevin]

In this video I talk about the predator rifle I built using a Palmetto State Armory Freedom upper receiver.

This was intended to be a middle of the road build, not too cheap, and not too expensive.

The Nikon scope is nice, but next time I am staying away from the military style turret adjustments.

Harris bipod is pretty sweet.

Even though the rifle has a scope, I went ahead and put magpul flip up sights on it.

This is my predator, deer and pig rifle. I use 125 grain instead of the 150-165 grain ammo for predators. I will take it hands down over those play things people use these days any day and any time.

Yep, those remington woodsmasters are hard to beat.

Yep, those remington woodsmasters are hard to beat.

Although I don't hunt, I'm a certified gun nut.
I've got a Remington 7400 in 30-06. I think by the time mine came out, Remington dropped the Woodsmaster name.

And, in case I do have to defend our animals against predators, I have a scoped 22 Hornet for smaller varmints, and I keep a Mini 14 handy for anything the size of coyotes or feral dogs.

You are right. I love my Remington 742 chambered in 30-06. Nothing wrong with the .223/5.56 NATO or .308 I just never cared for the .308 and really don't like the .223/5.56 nato. Don't care for small calibers or 16-28 gauge period but everyone has their own preference. Use what you are comfortable with and what you like.

I'm so old school that my favorite center fire rifle is a Mauser GEW 98 built in 1917.
She is a WW2 bring back and the stock has been "sporterized". She really likes Federal 170 grain JSP's.
I would not hesitate to pop a coyote with it, and a 32 caliber (7.92MM) 170 grain slug moving at 2600 FPS ought to do the job.

But, I also like America's Caliber - 30-06.
