Ruger Precision Rifle (Full Review)

[Fireman1291]

Very nice review! I am currently number #13 on the waiting list at the LGS chain wide for a 6.5Creedmoor and have been waiting since July 24th! I do like your choice of scope for your 6.5 and had planned to pair one with my 6.5 when I get it. What power magnification did you have it set at during the down scope filming?

I don't remember what magnification it was set at. Most likely it was set at around 20.

Finally found one in 6.5. Anxious to get it set up and out to the range!

Is the trigger comparable to a stock Remington 700?

My RPR trigger is better than my factory 700 X-Mark Pro trigger. The XMP was all over the place. You would adjust it lower and it wouldn't change pull weight. It was gritty and heavy. I replaced it with a Timney.

The RPR trigger adjusted down to just over 2lbs. It has a little bit of creep if you feel for it, but on the range I don't notice it. It's also smoothed out a bit since I've been shooting it. My only real complaint right now is that the trigger safety blade is "gritty". The blade itself feels like it rubs on something. It's not annoying enough to pin the safety back, but it's still noticeable if you feel for it.

What's the barrel nut like on these things? According to Ruger's website the Ruger Precision Rifle is compatible with AR handguards. But what about the handguards with proprietary barrel nuts? Will the RPR be able to take those??

Watched this video on YouTube last night, didn't know it was made by a m4c member. Great video. I'm obsessed with this rifle right now, but having a hard time justifying the purchase. Longest ranges here on long island are 200 yds. Still want.

Did you mount the bipod with the rail section that came with the rifle?

I brought a RPR home this weekend. Mounted the QD sling mount, no problem.

I mounted the rail and attached the bipod. Looked good. Tried setting the bipod legs, etc. and the whole thing twisted out of the fore end. Yikes.

I did some YouTube and Googling. I mounted some MLok rails on anther gun. Mount some other keymod rails on a third gun. Mounted some rails on an ALG fore end (it appears different from the keymod and MLok format. In short, I mounted a half dozen or so mounts on several other guns. No problem.

Tried again on the RPR, and same thing. Rail and everything pulled off the fore end.

Is the fore end not that durable? Did I get a soft fore end?

I ordered the B&T Atlas bipod mount for tube fore ends so there will be plate inside the fore end for the rail to attach in the future.
