Ruger Precision Rifles: FAQs
What is the Ruger Precision Rifle?
Introduced in 2015, this model quickly gained popularity among competitive shooters, hunters, and firearm enthusiasts for its exceptional accuracy, modularity, and affordability. Often abbreviated as RPR, it is available in several popular calibers, including 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and .300 Winchester Magnum, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of shooting applications.
What makes it stand out from other bolt-action rifles?
This rifle stands out due to its innovative design features and user-friendly customization options. Unlike traditional bolt-action models, the RPR incorporates an AR-style handguard, adjustable stock, and a highly adjustable trigger. Its modular chassis system allows shooters to easily swap out components such as the buttstock, pistol grip, and handguard to suit their preferences. Additionally, the free-floating barrel and precision-machined receiver contribute to outstanding accuracy right out of the box.
What calibers are available?
The RPR is offered in several popular calibers to accommodate different shooting needs:
- 6.5 Creedmoor: Known for its flat trajectory and low recoil, ideal for long-range target shooting and hunting.
- .308 Winchester: A classic choice for both hunting and precision shooting, offering a balance of power and accuracy.
- .300 Winchester Magnum: Suitable for extended long-range shooting and larger game hunting.
- 6mm Creedmoor: Favored by competitive shooters for its high velocity and low recoil.
These options allow shooters to select the best configuration for their intended use, whether it's competition, hunting, or recreational shooting.
How accurate is it?
The RPR is renowned for its out-of-the-box accuracy. Many shooters report sub-MOA (minute of angle) groups with factory ammunition, and even tighter groups with handloads. Its cold hammer-forged, free-floating barrel, combined with a rigid chassis and adjustable trigger, ensures consistent shot placement. The design minimizes barrel harmonics and maximizes stability, making it a top choice for precision shooting competitions and long-range enthusiasts.
What features are included?
This rifle comes packed with features that enhance performance and user experience:
- Fully Adjustable Stock: Can be adjusted for length of pull and cheek height, allowing for a custom fit.
- AR-Style Handguard: The free-floating handguard is compatible with M-LOK accessories for easy customization.
- Precision Trigger: The Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger can be set between 2.25 and 5 pounds for a crisp, clean break.
- Detachable Magazine: Accepts commonly available AICS and Magpul PMAG magazines.
- Threaded Barrel: Allows for easy attachment of muzzle brakes or suppressors.
- Integrated Picatinny Rail: The top rail allows for easy mounting of optics and other accessories.
These features make the RPR highly adaptable and ready for a variety of shooting scenarios.
Can it be customized?
Absolutely. One of the key advantages of this model is its modularity. The chassis system is compatible with many AR-style components, including buttstocks, pistol grips, and handguards. Shooters can easily upgrade the trigger, add a bipod, swap out the muzzle device, or install a different optic to tailor the rifle to their specific needs. This level of customization makes it a favorite among those who want to build a firearm that fits their exact preferences.
What optics are recommended?
Selecting the right optic depends on your intended use. For long-range precision shooting, a high-quality variable power scope with a large objective lens and precise reticle is recommended.
Popular choices include scopes with magnification ranges such as 4-16x, 5-25x, or even higher. Look for features like first focal plane reticles, exposed turrets for easy adjustments, and parallax adjustment for optimal clarity at various distances. Brands like Vortex, Leupold, and Nightforce are commonly paired with the RPR for their reliability and optical clarity.
Is it suitable for beginners?
The RPR is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced shooters. Its user-friendly design, adjustable features, and out-of-the-box accuracy make it accessible to those new to precision shooting. The ability to customize the rifle as skills progress ensures that it can grow with the shooter. Additionally, the availability of different calibers allows beginners to start with a lower-recoil option like the 6.5 Creedmoor before moving up to more powerful cartridges.
How do I maintain and clean it?
Proper maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of your rifle. Here are some basic steps:
- Safety First: Always ensure the firearm is unloaded before cleaning.
- Disassemble: Remove the bolt and magazine. Disassemble as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Clean the Barrel: Use a bore brush and solvent to clean the barrel, followed by dry patches until clean.
- Clean the Action: Wipe down the bolt and receiver with a clean cloth and apply a light coat of lubricant.
- Inspect Components: Check for any signs of wear or damage.
- Reassemble: Reassemble and perform a function check.
Regular cleaning after each range session will help maintain accuracy and reliability.
