I have a Ruger American Predator in 223. Bought it 2 years ago to coyote hunt, have not done that yet. The green plastic stock is okay, BUT, having just 1 arm and trying to use a normal rifle stock in a bolt action is a bit difficult. I do much better with a lever. The wrist of the stock is too skinny and makes holding and trigger squeeze a bit of a pain. I think a A/R style grip may work, don't know for sure if it will. I also have a Howa 1500 Hogue in 270 and the grip on that rifle is too short and curvy. I might replace that stock with a Richards pistol grip but they do not offer a stock for the RA-Predator. Boyds does not offer a pistol grip and not too keen on thumb-hole stocks. Sooo, what are my options, dump rifle and get a BAR in 223 or a Henry Long Ranger in 223 these rifles are both in the $900.00 range, kinda steep for a 72 yr old on Soc Sec. I do not like A/Rs, tried holding my son's A/R and it is too heavy plus a semi auto in the hand of a one armed guy scares the crap out of some people, me included, if you get my drift. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Thanks Jerry
