The Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) is a bolt-action rifle introduced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. on 17 July 2015.[3]

Models

[edit]

The RPR was originally announced in the following calibers and configurations:

  • .308 Win. with 1:10 twist, 20 in (51 cm) barrel, weighing 9.7 lb (4.4 kg)
  • 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist, 24 in (61 cm) barrel, weighing 10.6 lb (4.8 kg)
  • .243 Winchester with a 1:7.7 twist, 26 in (66 cm) barrel, weighing 11 lb (5.0 kg)

A newer Ruger Precision Rifle "Gen 2" was announced on 6 May 2016 with several enhancements over the original.[4] The new version includes a new handguard, a hybrid muzzle brake (5/8-24 threaded), and a billet aluminum bolt shroud. The announced models were:

  • .308 Win with 1:10 RH twist, 20 in (51 cm) barrel, weighing 9.8 lb (4.4 kg)[5]
  • 6mm Creedmoor with a 1:7.7 RH twist, 24 in (61 cm) barrel, weighing 10.8 lb (4.9 kg)[6]
  • 6.5mm Creedmoor with 1:8 RH twist, 24 in (61 cm) barrel, weighing 10.7 lb (4.9 kg)[7]

A model chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO was announced on 27 March 2017.[8] It has a 1:7 RH twist, 20 in (51 cm) barrel, weighing 9.8 lb (4.4 kg)[9]

Models chambered in the magnum cartridges .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Win Mag, and .300 PRC went on sale in 2018. [10]

Technical features

[edit]

The Ruger Precision Rifle has a proprietary Pre-Fit barrel system. Pre-chambered "Drop-In Ready" barrels can be purchased, and the correct headspace is set using a proprietary barrel nut design. The barrel is threaded to fit the Ruger action threads. This way, a competent gunsmith only needs an AR-15 barrel wrench and proper headspace gauges to fit a new barrel.[14] This eliminates the need for machining by the gunsmith as with traditional barrel mounting solutions.[citation needed]

The RPR is compatible with AR-style handgrips, buttstocks and some types of handguards. The trigger is proprietary, but aftermarket triggers are available.[15]
