Best Rifle Setup for Predator Hunting

by HuntStand

MORE FROM HuntStand

Predator hunters are always looking for an edge, and some of us are on a constant search for the best predator rifle setup. Springfield Armory offers a great solution: The Model 2020 Waypoint Rifle paired with the Saint Victor.

A two-rifle setup for predator hunting? Yes! Here’s why. In the hands of long-time bolt-action users, the bolt-action Model 2020 Waypoint Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor allows for longer-range precision shooting. In addition, during a predator setup you might want to keep your scoped Waypoint at 6X magnification. This will help prepare for those longer shots.

And for closer work, well, that’s where a fast-handling rifle like the Springfield Saint Victor in .223 Rem./5.56 NATO really shines. If you’re experienced with the AR platform, or practice to become proficient, the Saint Victor works great for follow-up shots and close-range action. To be prepared for close-range action, during your predator setups keep your Saint Victor scope at 2X magnification.

And let’s not forget that this two-rifle combo is even more versatile than it might appear. And here, we’re talking about those times when you’re not out in the field chasing predators. At these times, the Springfield Saint Victor is an ideal companion for home defense. That’s some bonus peace of mind that you and your family will appreciate.
