I looked on the proof website and can't find the Magnum rpr barrels. Do you have a link?
What size soft case will a factory 308 with the 20in barrle fit in unfolded? Will a 42in be long enough?
You are going to be tight!
RPR .308 spec sheet states the unfolded length is in 39.25" - 42.75" range.

Opinion on this one in a 46"? I have a $75 gift card for Amazon to blow.

I have a 42” case I was using for my .308 with the 20” barrel and LOP adjusted to 15”. It fits, but literally end to end. If I used a muzzle brake it wouldn’t fit.
I dont have a link but they are making them. I played with one at shot show. I think I saw an announcement on their FB Page.
Awesome looking. How do you like the Penguin Grip? Also if you use Instagram Please tag us for a repost.
I have been fumbling with my mag release in the cold weather with gloves and looking for a solution. Is this ShopRuger branded item the "gold standard", or are some of the others I've seen online a better option?

Do you post on instagram? If soon please tag us @anarchyoutdoors. If not can we have permission to post your photo?
Seems like you guys like it, and I had been on the fence about a bolt knob, so I went ahead and ordered the bolt knob/mag release combo from Catalyst just a moment ago.
Awesome photo. I am glad you are loving the girp. Please tag us on instagram @anarchyoutdoors.
dumped my early 6.5 RPR today for a new ruger long range target.......
well, bye...
well, bye...
Indeed. I’ve got a mag release extension ordered as well. The AO stuff has been plug and play, reasonably priced and value added.
I dropped my bolt and dented the lug that contains the extractor. I polished out to where it functions, but now its not 100% on extraction. Anyone know where i can get a new bolt? Preferably a small firing pin.
Thanks
Thanks
I called ruger. They will replace the bolt, but i need to send in the rifle with the original barrel. They are sending a new extractor, spring, and ball. Hopefully that fixes it.
I had to polish out the raceway and the extractor rib to get it to not stick open. I fear i took too much, as now if i dont cycle the bolt moderatly fast, it drops the round on the mag below.

Got the extended mag release and bolt knob from Catalyst Arms installed, nice looking upgrades! Put on an Ergo Grip I had laying around to try out as well. I'm in a similar snow situation here in Northern Nevada. Hope I get a clear weekend soon to try out the new configuration.
Not the best picture but I just used brake cleaner and krylon. Brake cleaned all the metal, then put 3 or 4 lite coats on. You can always take it off with some paint thinner.

Anybody lighten up the spring in the bolt release? Do you replace it or clip a coil or two?
Way too stiff for one hand release.

If you’re seriously having to use two hands to push the bolt release then there’s a problem with the fit/function and not the spring. I doubt anyone makes an aftermarket spring so if it’s just that stiff and you’ve eliminated rough edges or poor fitment I’d just clip it.
I love my rpr it's bone stock at present 308 20'' barrel 1/10 twist . I have had not reason to change anything yet in future may get a better barrel but other wise everything is nice . I guess it could be better, but have only ever seen 1 other in 6.5 . Still has a lot of shooting in it which is what i wanted think we put 5000 rounds through it so far , furthest distance is only 600 yards , But cant hardly wait to get to a longer range .
He’s referring to the release. On the left side of the receiver that allows you to release the bolt and remove it.
^ On my gen 1 .308, mines pretty stiff too, but I don’t really whip it out often enough to do anything about it. Giggity
Not a seekins but I tried an ADM cantilever mount and it pushed the scope too far forward. I pulled it off and replaced it with a LaRue OBR Mount. Much better eye relief and a more natural position and cheek weld for me.
My seekins will not tighten down on the rail. It will on a seekins rail and it will on my ar rail, but on my rpr, no matter how tight the screws are, the mount will still slide forward and backward a small amount.
I would bet your pic rail on your RPR is out of spec. Make sure the pic rail itself is mounted tight to the top of the receiver. Mine was loose from the factory. There are 4 machine screws. There are reports of the pic rails being less then the 20 MOA as advertised. I started a thread on this a couple weeks ago here and there’s some great info on how to measure yours to see if it’s correct. If your rail is machined too narrow then that’s another issue only fixable by replacement. Thankfully Ruger will take care of you and you can probably just ship the rail back instead of the whole rifle. If mine was bad I probably woukd replace it with an aftermarket upgrade then the factory piece but that’s just my opinion. Since my rail is in spec and has the proper taper I am using in. Let us know what you figure out.
Okay, kind of what I was thinking. I have heard the reports of the rail not being a true 20 but not that they have been to thin. Makes sense that it won't tighten up. I'll have to measure it but I'll probably just replace it. Thank you for the input. I appreciate it.
It’s not a true 20 moa, mine wasn’t anyway. Don’t know the exact measure of angle but it’s less. It may have to do with the upper mount. When I bought a 40 moa rail and installed it I only got 6 more mils of elevation which roughly equates to 20 moa. This tells me the plane of the upper that the rail mounts to may not be level. Make sure you take it off, clean the crap under it and blue loctite the 8-40 screws to 28in lbs.
