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?

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.

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 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.

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. https://grabagun.com/ruger-72.html

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 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.

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. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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.
