Ruger American Predator .308 | First Shots & Ammo Accuracy Test at 100 Yards!

Welcome back to the Ruger American Predator Gen II Build Series! In this episode, we take the Ruger Predator .308 to the range for its first shots and put it through a 100-yard accuracy test using three popular ammo brands — Winchester, Remington, and Federal 150gr — to see which performs best before any upgrades are made. This gives us a baseline for factory accuracy, helping us track performance improvements as we upgrade the rifle with a new chassis, stock, and trigger in future episodes. Can we turn this budget-friendly bolt action into a precision shooter? Let’s find out — but first, we need the right ammo. ⸻ 👀 In This Video: • Ruger American Predator Gen II .308 First Range Test • 100-Yard Accuracy Groupings (Winchester vs Federal vs Remington) • Best Factory Ammo for Ruger Predator • Ammo Pick for Build Consistency • What’s Coming Next: Trigger, Chassis, and More ⸻ 🔧 Watch the Full Build Series: 🎥 [Playlist Link] 👉    • Recents   🎯 Scope Used: Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 FFP 🧰 Previous Episode – Scope Mount & Boresight:    • How to Install and Boresight a Rifle Scope...   ⸻ ⚒️ Gear & Tools We Recommend: • Gunsmith Screwdriver Set: https://amzn.to/4fdhnIU • Basic Gunsmith Kit: https://amzn.to/3IP5UDe • Universal Cleaning Kit: https://amzn.to/40G9dCW • Boresighter Tool: https://amzn.to/45ccw6l • Scope Collimator: https://amzn.to/44QcHVW • Gunsmith Torque Wrench: https://amzn.to/3IOl2AK ⸻ 🎯 Subscribe & follow the full journey as we build out this Ruger American Predator into a custom precision platform! 📌 Like, Comment & Subscribe to stay tuned for the next phase. #RugerPredator #308Rifle #AmmoTest #FirstShots #RifleBuildSeries #TheHobbyGunsmith #PrecisionRifle #RugerAmerican #LongRangeShooting #BoltAction
