Unofficial Ruger Precision Rifle Thread

[FishHunterPro]

Just opening this thread for everyone to share everything and anything RPR related. Been using mine for a few months and it's a joy to shoot. So share and let's hear what you all have to say. Cheers

Got back from the range tonight, it was perfect not a soul there . Been working on loads for my 6.5creedmoor with the new Hornady ELD-M 140's. I think it went very good but there's always room for tinkering. I think I might benefit from some quality match dies. I'm just using regular Redding full length kit right now.

I just recently got into long distance shooting myself and picked up a RPR in .308 to get my feet wet, so far I love the gun, still have a lot to learn, these are some of the best groups I've shot with it so far. So far I don't hand load, maybe some day I'll get into it, finding one of the guns favourite loads is also the cheapest match ammo I can get so happy with that.

I shot this at 100 yards with my factory barrel in .308 using Hornady 155 steel match



Shot this 5 shot group (1" squares) breaking in a custom .308 barrel at 100 yards same ammo.



Shot this at 885 yards same factory ammo, this is the furthest and only time I've been with it thus far, was the best of the three groups I did at that distance.



Just upgraded my 6-24 FFP PST to this ATACR 5-25 F1, have only shot at 100 yards with it so far, can't wait to try it out at distance, it's very nice and clear. Also tested some more factory match ammo at 100 that day and found a couple more loads it likes with way better ballistics according to my app vs the 155 I've been using.

Looks like there was some great shooting guys. Glad you guys like your rifles. I have one in .243 and so far I am quite impressed.

[markg]

Looks like you replaced the barrel, added a monopod? Thoughts?

[markg]

With my .243 I changed the the grip to a magpul ergo delux and I put on an Alberta Tactical muzzle brake.

It looks like you changed the bolt and shroud. How do you like those upgrades?

[bilgeneutron]

I too have one in 243. So far so good shows great potential. Not real happy with the trigger though. about 1/6" creep to the break. I can live with it until Timney or Jewell come out with an after market trigger.

Here is a place that sells triggers for RPR

I "upgraded" my Redding FL die to a Lee collet neck sizing die and saw a significant improvement in run out and accuracy. Shrunk my 0.75 groups to less than 0.5.

It's a cheap and effective solution. Worth a try.

For you RPR owners... How is the stock tension on the firearms? There is a lot of moving parts back there. Any loose movenments or undesirable play after regular use?

The stock is nice and tight on my RPR. Haven't had any issues after a good shoot.

[MrSharp]

My stock is solid also, once adjusted it has never moved on me.
