Default Uintah prec

I went ahead and said hell with it I want one. It was a hard pill to swallow but I took advantage of the Black Friday sale and it came with a free trigger. Took it out yesterday and got it out to 560yds and can say I am very happy with it. Being AR based I was thinking it was gonna be really heavy but it’s actually not. I haven’t weighed it yet but after I get the actual scope and stock I want on it I will. I bought the UPR-10 in .308 with the 24” barrel. Does anyone else have one? How do you like it if you do?

I don't but I really like the concept.

If it was $500ish I'd buy one for an AR15 lower.

Yeah that price point was a tough hurdle for me as well. It took a little hustling to make it happen. I’m really glad I did it though. I may try and get the 15 at some point but first I need to finish this one with a better stock and glass. I put 160 rounds through it. I just counted out my brass out. I didn’t realize I had fired that many rounds!

They cost more than an RPR and have slower lock time.
Not sure what the advantage is.

If they came up with a striker system in the bolt and a special trigger that actuated it instead of using a slow AR type hammer, then they would have something.

Check the youtube channel West Desert Shooter. He has at least two of them, a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 6 Creedmoor. I think he might also have a .224 Valkyrie on an AR-15 platform.

The obvious choice of stock is the Magpul PRS, but those are kinda heavy. A lighter one is made by LMT, and it's about the same price, believe it or not.

I did watch those actually. Pretty good videos, I’m probably going PRS since I like the one on my other rifle.

I think for me its comfortable. And I can change it around easy if I wanted too. As far as lock time and the trigger I’m not able to notice much difference between it and my 700. Although I might notice it now that you’ve mentioned it. The trigger yes, the 700 is better. But the velocity precision trigger is pretty awesome. I have actually put two of them in my ARs and really like how they perform.

RPR accepts AR-15 handguards, pistol grips, stocks and safety selectors.
It also use either AICS mags OR SR-25 (LR308) mags.
Not sure what else you wanted to change around.
It's as close as you can get to an AR in a real bolt action which means you get a better trigger and faster lock time as well as better primary extraction (easier bolt operation).
They run around $1000 for a complete gun with a 20moa scope base already on the receiver.

RPR's don't come with hand lapped Shilens though.

I won’t argue it’s a great gun as well. I may be wrong but I think UP also does the 20 moa built into it as well. The bolt operation on mine is buttery smooth and if I’m tired of the bolt I could install a set screw mag lock and drop a semi auto upper on that lower and change nothing else. The price point isn’t that much different considering all the local shops sell the rpr for about 1150-1300 and if I bought the one online for 1050 the shops around here are likely to tag on 75-125 for transfer anyhow. Plus dros and a 10 day wait. If I was good enough to be a competition shooter the lock times might become more important to me but the only people I compete with are my buddies and my son.

How is the barrel mounted ?
Is mounted like a AR ?
Or did they mount it like a bolt action ?

It appears at first glance to be mounted just like an AR, I haven’t investigated it too much.

It's an AR barrel as evidenced by the 8 lug bolt which is going to use an AR extension.
It won't have good primary extraction like a standard bolt action design with proper cams and clearances.

That's an easy swap out.
If we want to talk about things that are NOT included with the upper, let's start with a side folding stock, pistol grip and lower reciever...

It’s definitely not an AR barrel extension. It only has 3 locking lugs on it.

oh, I missed that.
The video that I watched showing the bolt out of the reciever looked like it had 8 lugs.
Maybe the video was of an earlier version than you got.

Folks,


IMHO, too expensive. What I would like to see is a 6.5 Grendel bolt gun, that doesn’t use cheap plastic mags (Howa) or put a poorly fitted stock to an otherwise beautiful rifle CZ. AND make a BDL style floor plates. A2

I bet Wyatt's makes a PPC sized BDL magazine box that could be made to feed 6.5 Grenades in a 700.

I’ve always wanted a bolt AR and yeah, this is a little pricey. Especially considering that a comparable pure bolt rifle that can take AR mags is a lot less. However, like everything else, we should hopefully see some more firms get involved and prices will come down. I wouldn’t be surprised if within 3-4 years we see several companies selling them, and in particular here.

Let’s hope that when they do they make it as nice as Uintah does. There’s a lot of cool stuff going on here. The detents built into the receiver and the way the bolt is cut to prevent an out of battery fire. A lot of time went into the design of this upper. The more I look at it and really think about it I’m pretty happy with the money I spent.

An upper from aero precision is over 500. For someone to design and build a nice bolt action for less...

Congrats on the purchase! Been looking into the UPR10 in 6.5 creedmore myself. I really like the idea a of being able to swap back and forth from semi auto and bolt action with ease.
