Anyone make a bolt rifle with threaded barrel for .204 Ruger

Post by surefire »

I've been spoiled by shooting suppressed rifles. I just built an AR in .204 Ruger with a threaded barrel but now would like to buy a bolt rifle in the same caliber that is "suppressor ready." Does anyone make such a beast. I know Savage has come out with a few new rifles with threaded barrels but I can't find one in .204 Ruger. I just hate to spend the added bucks (again) to get my barrel threaded.

Ruger makes the American Predator in .204 Nice little rifle, but nothing fancy. Retails for around $400

I also am looking for a Ruger American Predator in 204R. None in my area yet. It does have the threaded barrel that you want. Bill K

I have one Bill...Haven't had a chance to fire it at long distance, but at 50 yds it prints 1/2" groups. Hopefully in a week or two I can give it a real test..

CZ 527 American (if you can find one) comes in .204. I looked locally for a RAP in .204 and the local
guys couldn't find one in their pipelines anywhere. Went to a gun show in March and one vendor
had three of them in .204. Changed the tupperware over to a Boyd's Forest Camo Laminate, and
it looked pretty snazzy. Unfortunately, due to a chamber problem, had to send it back in this
week. Hopefully, Ruger Customer Service will treat me as well as others have reported.

Well, I couldn't find locally what I wanted so ended up buying a used Remington 700 chambered in 204 Ruger. Took it to my guy locally who threaded it. Haven't had a chance to get back out to shoot it suppressed yet since I'm traveling.
