    I have the Remington version of it (R-15) paid just over $1000 without scope. I'm a big fan, and to my understanding the Remington is an exact copy of the Bushy (even made by the Bushy for Remington.) Very accurate, great for coyote hunting and p-dogs. If you have the chance to get one, grab it!

    Vote for R-15 from here also. Predator has NM 4.5 lbs trigger, but at least I want something really different trigger for a Varmint rifle. You can put Jard trigger into R-15 and your rifle is practically not more expensive than Predator.

    I do not prefer Predator-style risers, because they do not extend upper receiver rail at all. I would prefer something like this instead + good quality ring set : http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=2..._15_SCOUT_RAIL

    Just my 2 cents

    I had one up till I decided to move in another direction.. It was the 24" barrel. So, it was really heavy.. without a doubt the most accurate gun I have ever owned.. Kind of sorry I got rid of it..

    Thanks all, I will put a little $ to the side so when I see a good price I can pick it up.

    I bought the RRA predator pursuit and love it. Purchased for right at 1k with tax though I have twice that into it now.

    I ordered my predator through Pete aka legal transfers was a little less than that. Then of course Carl aka Bailey Guns did the transfer. I thought the 24" would be unneeded weight.

    I built a Stag Varmint rifle recently and couldn't be happier. I got my complete upper from Pete and got the rest locally.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
