What is the weight of the barrel on the Ruger American Go Wild Camo Barrel in 7mm PRC? In other words, is it a heavier barrel than the one on the Ruger American Predator?

Question

James G. · Answer

Hi Mauro and welcome. Although slightly differently configured barrels, they are similar in contour/weight. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Ed C. · Answer

Hi Mauro, the Predator has a medium contour barrel.  The Go Wild's barrel is visibly stouter and likely contributes to the nearly half-pound weight difference between the two rifles.
Stay safe & have a great day!

Good evening to you!! The Ruger American Go Wild Camo rifle in 7mm PRC has a heavier barrel than the standard Ruger American Predator model. The Go Wild features a thicker, "stouter" barrel, likely contributing to its slightly heavier weight compared to the Predator. While the exact barrel weight isn't specified, the Go Wild model is described as having a visibly thicker barrel profile. Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day.

They are slightly different barrels; however, they are similar in contour and weight.

Jason L. · Answer

Due to the more robust barrel, your looking at it being roughly .5 lb heavier, Nothing really.

Randall A. · Answer

Yes, it is heavier. You really wouldn't notice the difference just by holding it. You'd need a scale.
