A hog huntin' son-of-a-gun: Ruger American Predator 6mm Creedmoor + ATN ThOR

06/17/2021

A customer brought us his Ruger American Predator in 6mm Creedmoor to transform it into a sweet-shootin' hog gun. He wanted us to hook him up with two things: thermal vision and a silencer. Unfortunately, the silencer is currently held up in red tape (🙄 thanks ATF), so we can't show that juuuuust yet.

The rifle came optics ready with a picatinny rail where we mounted an ATN ThOR 4 4.5-18x thermal scope with a set of 30mm Talley steel rings. The customer gave us a budget of $3500 for thermal and this was the scope he ultimately settled on. The ThOR 4 is one helluva scope y'all. It comes equipped with a rangefinder, a Gen 4 384x288 thermal sensor, WiFi/Bluetooth capabilities, and... drumroll... it records video.

Thermal, like every other technology, is constantly coming down in price. Ron said out of the box, it was one of the easiest thermal scopes he's set up. The menu is far more intuitive and user-friendly. To finish the set-up, Ron took the rifle out in low-light conditions to be able to properly set up the thermal. He sighted it in 2" high at 100 yards, which gives you a zero at 200 yards more or less. BYE HOGS! 🐽
