i also have a predator but here is my model 10 carbine with the factory digital stock. I'm not crazy about it and im sure i will end up painting it but it might help you out.

Sorry Catkiller. Can't do it. Been my goto rig for a long time now. I picked up a 77V Flatbot in a Swift a couple of years back it's pretty neat also. I bought one in a .243 from a great guy here on PM. It got traded on the Swift, but I kept the syn stock, painted it up and put it on my 6mm.
Something about those Ruger Flatbolts and the older little Sakos that does it for me.

DoubleCK,
Yea, I love the 6mm06 cartridge, thus my handle. I have a Remington Sendero that I had rebarreled in that cartridge. It has a 26" stainless fluted Krieger barrel. It's groundhog deadly - and, I hope to find out how coyotes might fair with it. I'm heading to Wyoming next week and plan to take it along.

I have since changed the scope to a Nikon 6x18 with a dot reticle

She ain't the prettiest, but she's killed a ton of critters and I believe she'll shoot with the best of'em.

788 Rem. that was a 223, now rebarreled in 17Rem. I put the factory stock on a strict diet.
Model 7 Rem. in 17Rem. with a synthetic stock. This one has recently joined Weight Watchers and is being rebarreled and restocked just to name a few weight changes. It'll be a slim, lean, mean 17Rem.
6mm-06,
I never owned a 6mm-06, but I did have a 240 Gibbs for many years. It was a heck of a Groundhog slayer.

k22,
I'll bet that Gibbs was indeed a real groundhog slayer.
I like your rifles. That little model 7 looks really sweet. I have a stainless one in .243 with a 20" barrel. It shoots pretty darn good.
I'm considering putting a tactical base on it and using Warne Quick Detach rings on a couple of scopes to switch for different loads. Seems I'm always wanting to play with something new. I thought it would be good to have that little model 7 and a scope sighted for coyotes, then another scope and bullet for deer / antelope etc.
Here's another rifle, just for discussion. This one was built by the now defunct Arnold Arms Company that operated out of Washington state. This one is built on the Apolo action, has a Winchester-type safety, and believe it or not, a synthetic stock. The stock looks and feels like wood, but isn't.
With 85 gr. Ballistic Tips, it's running slightly over 3600 fps. I've also got some decent accuracy with 75 gr. HPs, and plan to work with them a bit more. As well, 110 gr. Accubonds are shooting under an inch, some around 1/2", so seems it's pretty versatile on bullets it likes.
.257 Arnold Magnum - which is a .264 Win Mag necked down to 25 caliber. I have since
added another scope to it, a Leupold 4.5x14 in Warne rings, so both scopes are now
interchangable for different loads. It has a Jewell trigger.
What would we do without toys!?

Indeed it was. It was also hard on my 30-06 brass. I don't know what I was thinking when I had it built, I was just learning how to reload and jumped right into the wildcat cartridges. Guess I read to many books. A few years later I had the barrel set back and it became a 6mm Rem. It was built on a HVA action, Douglas barrel, fitted Canjar trigger, and one of the early thumbhole laminated stocks. I alternated between a Nosler 75gr.hp and a Hornady 87gr. hp. Man, it just pounded those groundhogs.
That is a great looking 6mm06, but wow, I love that Arnold Arms rifle. I remember when they were in business and read several articles about them. That one you have is a beauty.
I've definitely joined the small bore crowd and become a real wimp. Now days a 223 has tremendous recoil to me.
Well maybe I'm not quite that bad, but the largest caliber I normally shoot is a 204.

Seems I take spells going one way, and then the other. For a while I like the small bore stuff, then suddenly an urge hits me and I go the other way to the larger magnums. This summer I've been on a rimfire kick and working on yet another groundhog video.
It's good to have so much to chose from. The only problem is green backs to support my lust.
