There are very few differences between the TAC and the Predator actions.  Here they are: 

• The bottom cutout on repeaters

  • The Predator short and long, 308 and magnum boltfaces have an extended loading box cutout.  The cut is 0.130 longer than a standard Remington.  It will take Wyatt's Outdoor or HS Precision extended boxes.

  • The 223 boltface Predator, TAC30 and TAC300 series actions have the standard cutout and will take a Remington box as is.

• Scope holes

  • The Predator XP, short and long action has 6 - 48 TPI screw holes.

  • All TAC actions and the Predator Xtreme have 8 - 40 TPI screw holes.

• Bolt Knob, all threaded on

  • Predator and Predator Xtreme have small teardrop.

  • All TAC actions have larger tactical knob anodized black.

• Finish Color

  • Predator and Predator Xtreme are matte finished stainless

  • All TAC actions have black oxide finished stainless.

• TAC338 and Predator Xtreme

  • Same action except color, name and bolt knob.  Both have universal cutout on bottom for either AI magazine or Weatherby box
