Vis will average. 5 to 15 feet. Depends on the wind and which side of the island your on when the tide is running. Yea the predator is a sweet little gun its a 70cm so she is very versitle. Im getting ready to build me a 120cm for some blue water action here soon. I have the pipe,butt pipe and muzzle to build it i just need to decide which handle i want to go with.
