Man I wish I'd seen this before I ordered the Trakr. The only Ruger I'd seen with a threaded barrel was the RPRR.Ruger American Predator in 22WMR is the way to go. I have one and it's great. Threaded barrel and I pop squirrels with mine from my back porch inside the subdivision.
Yeah I have on in 22LR and 22WMR. Great shooting little guns!Man I wish I'd seen this before I ordered the Trakr. The only Ruger I'd seen with a threaded barrel was the RPRR.

I picked them both up today and the Trakr is nice very light but I like the looks of the Ruger way better.Id run the howa also, tho only because ive had an 802 that shot really well.
I've got a sample size of 2 and have not experienced any extraction issues with either to this point. And I'm not sure how the Predator models have a history when the action is the same as non-Predator models and those models don't have any significant issues with extraction.The American Predator Rimfires have a history of extraction issues. I'd give the Howa a chance.
Well it happens in manufacturing that they'll run a batch of let's say extractors that are on the edge of "spec", this batch hits the production line when they're building predators add in a little internet and a few guns turns into a "history".And I'm not sure how the Predator models have a history when the action is the same as non-Predator models and those models don't have any significant issues with extraction.
Not sure I buy into that. But feel free to share where all these issues are being documented.Well it happens in manufacturing that they'll run a batch of let's say extractors that are on the edge of "spec", this batch hits the production line when they're building predators add in a little internet and a few guns turns into a "history".

So it's not just specific to the Predator version then like I said?I am sure the standards do as well, but they don't come up much in conversation. 3 of my 4 Americans bungle extraction. The one that doesn't is the 22LR target model, and its accuracy is unimpressive. American extraction issues are often discussed here: https://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/ruger-american-rimfire.297/
It's a damn extractor. There's no magic in getting them to work correctly. My 77/22s have never failed me...ever. In surfing many forums, I have never heard of 77/22 extraction issues.
Here's a recent thread from another forum. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...91/gonew/1/ruger-american-rim-fire-fte#UNREAD

Ruger has probably the best customer service and warranty in the business. I'd want to know how many people have utilized their warranty and exhausted that process.
Ruger has far from the best customer service in the business. Quality customer service starts with delivering a product that works. Ruger has failed me and many others on that front. 7-8 failures for me. They generally do a very good job of getting it right the second time around. Lord knows they get enough experience.
Quality assurance/quality control are completely different from customer service. I'll still stand by my statement that Ruger has probably the best customer service in the business and that's been the general consensus for at least the last 40 years if not longer. Now if you are talking about quality control, that's a separate thing altogether. I'll be done now, but FAR, FAR greater number of happy Ruger customers than dissatisfied ones. But I can tell you've got an axe to grind with them.
Which rifle goes with the group? Trakr or Ruger?I picked them both up today and the Trakr is nice very light but I like the looks of the Ruger way better.
Went straight to the range mounted the 6-18X44mm Vortex Crossfire II and the Griffin Optimus Micro 7 rounds to get a good zero and shot this 5 shot group at 25 yards (max at this range)View attachment 1071159
I don't see myself keeping the Trakr.
Ruger. Still haven't shot the Trakr still trying to decide if I want to sell it or just wait n give it to one of the grandkids.Which rifle goes with the group? Trakr or Ruger?
The Trakr is not.Is that rifle adjustable for LOP?
