    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    My .308 RPR likes 168 Sierra HPBT's so far. Haven't tried anything else yet for accuracy. I am not the best shot yet, I am learning to deal with my natural body shakes, however, the RPR's are accurate. I have a Sightron SIII 8x32x56 with the MOA-2 reticle mounted on it. I bought a 100 of the...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Probably want to rethink that statement. New knowledge, new bullets are stretching it out. You could also tell that the the Marines who use it to 1000. Here is the text for the new Sierra Matchking A 6.5 does have the advantage of being a newer design and other advantages, but a .308 has lots...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I am starting to get my .308 dialed in. This is 43.3 gr of Varget, 2.800 overall length, 168 gr Sierra HPBT. If I can quit shaking the rifle will shoot. Yesterday my blood sugar dropped which causes the shakes for me. Sometimes my hands shake so bad you would think that I have Parkinson's. Its...

    Shipping a rifle?

    The below is what I have adhered to and had no issues what so ever, Sorry if it sounds soap boxish/preaching, but it works for me. These rules I have garnered by reading posts like this, websites and personal experience. 1. Always specify that the buyer pays for shipping. To and back if they...

    What are you using to "re-color" it. (as to brand, etc). I am curious as to what and have you used it before and how did it work if you did. Thanks.

    This worked out extremely well. I went and shot the rifle the other day. The increased length is much better. I would recommend thinking about doing this.

    30-06 target/hunting rifle

    Here is a discussion of a 30-06 that I think you all might find a bit interesting. With all the new, slippery bullets that are available in .30 caliber, the venerable 30-06 can be a performer. https://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek091.html

    you would have to find out if the bolt handles are common between the 2 size rifles https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/featured-collections/ruger-precision-rifle/bolt-knobs-and-firing-pins/ https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/ruger-precision-ruger-american-bolt-handle-upgrade/

    Thank you ! Wear like that is usually indicative of improper heat treating.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I would have to make them a little better, in which case I would have to make a block. HOWEVER, if you are interested and want to make a go at it yourself, I will tell you how I did it. The one advantage I did have, is having multiple rifles so that I could attach 2 of the existing cheek...

    That is good to know. I have a .300 PRC I have not shot yet and will watch out for it occurring with mine.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I extended the cheek piece with some Kydex. The 2nd one worked out better, eventually I will make a good mold and recast the first but it is very usable as is. Extending the length 1 1/4" ish sure changed the feel. We got a little curl on the first one, there was a learning curve for working...

    Is this issue some of you are having with the firing pins/bolts related to the Safety Bulletin Ruger has on the rifles ? https://ruger.com/dataProcess/rprSafety/index.php?r=y Or is there another issue going on ?

    Newbie needs direction.

    Barthel's Gunsmithing 330-499-4171 Weekdays I realize it will be a little bit of a drive, Bob is in N. Canton. However he has done lots of work for me, I even had him rechamber a higher end 1874 Sharps reproduction rifle. Yes I trust his work.
