Ruger Precision Rifle
Have you guys seen this?
Any reviews? This might be my next rifle. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...siouadpzu.jpeg YouTube link http://youtu.be/15YkjtV_ud0 |
Wow. No. I'd go with the 6.5CM. Not sure whether "Ruger" and "Precision" should be in the same sentence let alone the same title though.

Ahhhh marketing
|
I saw it... I'm not gona lie, its pretty tempting and looks like a good value. Ive had excellent luck with their Ruger American with my hand loads... shoots VERY well.
That LOOKS like a lot of rifle for $1000, but for the same price you can also get a Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision in 243, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 260... I wouldn't be surprised if the 12 LRP is a better rifle, but Ruger has put together a temping package... I'm sure this will tempt the "I want a chassis on my bolt action" crowd into their camp. Someone at Ruger is listening and doing their market research... I'm happy to see them offer it in calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor and 243 with the faster twists. AICS mag compatible... Remington came out with a factory 260 I think, but its a light barrel and I don't think the twist was good for heavies. |
Ruh roh. My wallet is going to get lighter.

Ruger American ~$400 (Entry level rifle)
Chassis system stock ~$400 Bottom Metal for mags ~$200 2 10rd Mags -$40 Crazy Multi-Adjustable Stock ~$150 (and more!) You're at $1,200 already, and don't necessarily have a threaded heavy barrel (which this comes with). It would really need to be terribly made, and shoot like crap to not be a decent value. |
What round would you recommend, noob question.
|
Why do they always spell "Creedmore" instead of "Creedmoor". The only 6.5 name variation that I am aware of is the 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Grenade are the same.
As Toast says, precision and Ruger is an oxymoron. I'd like to get a folding stock for my Lapua action, but the way the rifle is designed, I could, but the piece would cost me $3,000, so I just suck it up and haul it around, squeezing it to fit an XL drag back. The folding stock is a nice feature once you go to 30" barrels and longer, but most of them do not have a strong enough hinge for my liking. |
Unless its as strong as the AICS folding stock, I would have actually preferred it if it was fixed. If there was a hint of wobble in the hinge it would drive me nuts.

http://www.ruger.com/news/2015-07-17.html The Ruger Precision Rifle incorporates an in-line recoil path directly from the rear of the receiver to the buttstock, eliminating the need for traditional bedding or a "chassis" system, and provides maximum accuracy potential by simplifying the rifle's response to recoil. The Ruger® Precision MSR stock is adjustable for length of pull and comb height, offering a proper fit over a wide range of shooter sizes, outerwear, and shooting positions. While easily adjusted, the length of pull and comb height changes lock solidly in place and will not move while firing. The stock also features multiple QD sling attachment points, a bottom Picatinny rail for monopod attachment, and a soft rubber buttpad. The left-folding stock hinge (which provides access to the bolt) is attached to an AR-style buffer tube and accepts AR-style stocks. Crap. I might just have to buy one to play around with. -- Michael |
Cool but is it accurate?
I once asked Ruger customer service what sort of accuracy I should expect from an 18" gunsite scout. I did mention most of the reviews found online where not all that impressive. The response was all Ruger rifles are factory tested to be under 1" MOA @ 50 yards! So 2" at 200, Not exactly precision, especially for a 308. If my .22 CZ shot that poorly I'd be a sad sad man. |

I saw that Turner's add today also. Which caliber are you thinking about .. .243, 6.5 or .308?
|
watching with interest....this might be a cheaper option than rebarrel/tune my aac
|
Personally I don't care for this type of rifle design. But Ruger makes good products.
|
Well...at least they got the rifling right for the .243 (1:7.7).
|
Looks cool. Reminds me of the MDT chassis which also follows AR styling and uses AR furniture.
People might **** on this for being too much like an AR but for someone who already has lots of spare AR parts, this might be an even more attractive buy. |
Other than Turner's, anyone see who else might be carrying them, particularly in NorCal area? I have been thinking about a 6.5 and this would be a great entry to that caliber based on Lowlight's review.
If we had a Turner's up in the Bay Area, I would be there today to put my money down, particularly at that price. |

Bolt action in the gas op/semi auto section. Nice.
Ruger is smart for targeting the tactical precision market that is blowing up. |
Will it be CA friendly? I think it will meet the 30" length requirement folded. But isn't a bullet button or grip-wrap needed?
|
^ it is a BOLT action rifle. No BB, etc., apply.

Its bolt action. No need for BB. CA compliant outta box. Turners has them now |

Wow...the SH review is pretty positive. I'm digging the multi-magazine thing, too. Hmmm....
|
I'd go for the 6.5

I was happy when I saw the 223 in 1:8 twist too. I do like the Predator line... I was considering getting one just for kicks in 6.5 Creedmoor. |
Brilliant of them to capitalize on both the exploding long range market and the tacticool market. Standardized mags. I believe the reviews on accuracy too.
|
Whats the reciever made out of?

I'm going to get one if it checks out better than the mossy mvp
|
Dang, at that price can't really pass up a 6.5.
Does this thing take AR barrels? I'm confused about the whole being able to take any AR handguard. That would imply taking a barrel nut for an AR...which means the barrel too? If it is that modular, hell yes. |

I’d like to see someone like Randall tear one apart and critique it… |

I was just making a joke for those who don’t get out of the semi forum much… :rockon:

So, at first I saw this and thought "Meh, that thing is ugly, ridiculous and useless for anything I do".
Then I saw they chambered it in a 26 inch .243 and started thinking "Self, that could be kind of fun, you've been kicking around the idea of making or buying a rifle that would let you play super sniper, something like this could be fun instead of picking up a good peep sighted .22". Then I saw the folding stock and thought "Self, that's pretty neato, I don't know why it's neato, but I think that's pretty neato". But then I started thinking "Self, that thing is pretty ugly, and really you're not a 'chassis' kind of person". I also started thinking "Self, you don't shoot much past 500 yards anyway, and you've been hitting your 8 inch plate at 500 yards with pretty boring regularity with your .223. Maybe you should buy a 4 inch plate instead of a new rifle". But then I started thinking "Self, instead of buying a smaller steel plate, why not just walk the 8 inch one further back? You know you can probably walk it out to at least 600 if not 700 yards at the place you shoot". Damnit, talked myself out of yet another gun, eschewing the expenditure of money only to gain more practice and exercise. |
Price tag?

I'd be more interested if it was available in 308 with a 24" heavy threaded barrel.
|
Wow. Ruger went with something that people would want at a price one could love. Im impressed.
