Ruger Precision rifle

[survivalshop]

 I don't know how new this rig is , but watched a show on the Sprotstmen channel or something & it seemed like the whole show was about it . I liked it & I'm not much of a Bolt Gun kinda Guy.

[blue109]

Gotta say it looks pretty cool. If I was up for a bolt gun I wouldn't hesitate.

[wetncold]

I got some serious wood for one.

Ask pappy, he's got a couple;

[Pappy1600]

I still have two of those on order, don't seem to be available anytime soon, I have two distributors looking for me and was told on a waiting list. I believe Ruger will be backed up on these for quite some time. I have a friend that wants one with money burning a hole in his pocket and I can't do anything about it.

  I remember that post , what were your selling prices for one ? I see them all over the map & in the show they said $ 1299.00 MSRP .

[survivalshop]

  I see that post in " Rifles " , if they are that hard to get , if I want one , I'll wait . Like I said , I'm not much of a Bolt Action person , though I have a couple .

  I like that rifle , I can say that .

[Pappy1600]

Price will be much less than MSRP, if I can ever get my hands on one. what caliber ?

[98Z5V]

That .243 is looking good so far, in the accuracy results.

 I would probably go with 308 . No matter what the results from the above standings . I try to keep my calibers common .

Fixed it for you bro!

CDNN had a couple available in 22-250 and 223, for good prices. Didn't see any larger calibers though.

I didn't know this rifle was available in those calibers . I read 6.5,243 & 308 .

Bill Ruger has a big smile on his face up there somewhere... they hit a home run with this one!

He's rolling over in his grave, starting with when the family left Sturm, Ruger, & Co., then SRC started selling 20-round Mini-14 mags, attaching flash hiders, collapsable stocks, and pistol grips.

He was a smart man but no friend of American Citizens having an unrestricted 2nd Amendment Right.

[Sisco]

My Mistake it was the Ruger American CDNN had on sale.

[Charlie]

I really like the look of the RPR, and the specs look good too, but if I were interested in another .308 it would be an FN-249S (strictly for the collector value you understand :-).

Fact is that I want to add a bolt gun, but I've got my heart set on something in .338 Lapua. The Sako TRG-42 would fill the bill, but the price is well north of $3K.

No doubt he adopted the Chamberlain approach to appeasing the Clinton era anti-gun madness, its a shame in those years in an ill advised attempt to save a little of his company, he lost so much of his legacy.

Nonetheless what legendary designs he did give the world when he was in his right mind!

Clinton era?  Try end of the Reagan era and dawn of the Bush (the one who renounced his lifetime NRA membership) years, when William B. Ruger sent a letter to every...that's every...member of Congress, urging them to prohibit possession of "high-capacity magazines".  That letter was March 30, 1989.

Chamberlain nothing.  He was devising ways to curtail the 2nd Amemendment all on his own.

Looks like the 6.5 Creedmore is giving it a run for its money. In close.  Pretty impressive with the long legs!

Fair enough, yes I recall him sending some model legislation to members of congress in late 80's after a school shooting up in Modesto of somewhere in northern California, but I remember him most from when that very model legislation was was used by the Clinton feens in the crime bill.

Except wasn't Bill Ruger's recommendation 15 rd mags and they went beyond that and made it 10? Anyway, regardless, ya he was certainly on the wrong side of the tracks.

I remember reading something about how he donated a million bucks to the NRA in the end so he bought himself a lifetime achievement award or something to that effect as well.

I suspect he would have said something like he was only reading the writing on the wall and was actually trying to save the firearms industry and his company from itself but not attempting to curtail the 2A at all, he would have been dead wrong about how he went about it, but like I said, its too bad he ended up that way.

Fuk Bill Ruger............Fuk the NRA.......bunch of self agrandizing, pompass a$$, sell outs. Ask me what I really think..........

[planeflyer21]

His initial recommendation was 15 round magazines.  He later modified that to 10, then down to 5, stating "There is no reason any civilian needs more than 5 rounds in a semi-automatic firearm."
