Ruger Precision Rifle

Ruger Precision Bolt Action Rifle

The Ruger Precision Rifle first released in 2015 has done nothing but improve over time. As an affordable long range weapon with a bolt action and metal chassis, Ruger has set a precedent while keeping this weapon improving with each new generation release.

Multiple calibers and special edition releases are on the market right now, with plenty of options for adding customization kits. Regardless, out of the box the Ruger Precision Rifle is classy and clean as-is.

A Chassis to be Reckoned With

With its chassis frame Ruger has allowed the user of this firearm to experience a straight recoil path and use any AR compatible butt stock for individualization. A multi-magazine interface is Ruger’s magazine well system that can accept M110, SR25, DPMS, Magpul, and AICS magazines. A cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel features 5R rifling and 20 MOA Picatinny rail allows for custom scope and accessory mounting.

RPR .308 Winchester, 3rd generation

RPR .308 Winchester

The .308 Winchester caliber RPR features a medium-contour barrel paired with a RPR hybrid muzzle brake to assist with managing recoil and redistributing gasses released during the firing process. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows the user to adjust the pull weight from 2.25 to 5 pounds and offers true customization.

A 20 MOA Picatinny rail can accommodate plenty of long-range accessories. The cold hammer-forged barrel features 5R rifling at minimum bore, and whatever recoil is felt, is in a straight path back, easily absorbed by the factory bump stock.
