The Ruger American Predator is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .350 Legend with a 20-inch barrel and a black synthetic stock with stainless steel metalwork. At 6.1 lbs it's light to carry, and the .350 Legend cartridge is legal in states that require straight-walled cartridges for deer hunting.

Features 

The receiver comes drilled, tapped, and fitted with a scope rail -- no traditional iron sights. The Marksman adjustable trigger lets you set pull weight to your preference, which is a genuine value-add at this price point. The bolt runs smoothly and the 5-round rotary magazine feeds reliably. 
 
The synthetic stock handles weather without issue. Stainless steel metalwork adds corrosion resistance, which is useful if you hunt in wet conditions. The 20-inch barrel keeps overall length manageable in brush without meaningfully sacrificing velocity with the .350 Legend.

The Ruger Predator in .350 Legend draws consistently positive feedback from hunters in Midwest states where straight-walled cartridge rules apply. The caliber's effective range and manageable recoil are cited frequently, and most owners report solid accuracy with quality factory loads.

The adjustable trigger and lightweight construction get mentioned as strong points. The price comes up often -- this is one of the more affordable bolt-actions available, and buyers feel the performance-to-cost ratio is good.

Criticism is less common but does appear. Some owners find the finish or aesthetics plain compared to higher-end rifles, which is a fair observation for a budget-tier gun. A handful of users mention needing an initial break-in period before groups tightened up. Magazine availability and aftermarket options are limited compared to more popular platforms, which matters if you want to customize the setup beyond optics.
