    Aren't those like $11,500? Why would you worry about cheap? Just asking'.....not being a dick.

    I did not...thought about it. Why, did yours come loose or you just did it or are thinking about doing it from a preventative maintenance POV?

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Thanks WD. Yes, I had also tried to run some oil in a few spots when I initially got the rifle back and exactly the same thing happened....it just soaked it up. Ruger is taking care of me on this issue and out of respect ........ and since it is an ongoing situation, I'm not going to discuss...

    Guys a question for you all. I just got my 6.5 RPR back from Ruger. They replaced the barrel and the bolt cocking piece and while there I had them install the Gen II hand guard. It is not the same color as my rifle. My RPR is jet black and this guard is a very dark grey but unless I coat it with...

    How are you guys able to measure your throat erosion so accurately? Is that by the fact that the rifling is further out......so when you are pushing a bullet to the lands, say using a Hornady Seating Depth Gauge, you are finding them that much further out?

    After 1000 rounds? Is that because you have been loading hot?

    That seems a tickle high from my own experience with loading for .308. It seems like most people, self included, are getting best results at 43.5gr Varget. Are you not seeing any pressure signs at that weight of powder?

    Hey turbodiesel....congrats on your new RPR man...you're gonna love it. Get a good optic to go with it...... unless you have one already.

    Interesting flyright, thanks. That is actually disturbing for me that a gunsmith would chamber a rifle barrel undersized. Measurements are everything to a machinist. Surely he would have picked that up with go/no go gauges? In the case of mass produced stuff like my RPR 6.5.......I could almost...

    Thanks for the reply Juggerxxx. I'll tell you brother, earlier on I loaded a few at 43.0 and it was ugly. I shot 3 and stopped. One did okay, one primer blew out and another case was ridiculously hard to extract-got stuck in the bolt and it looked like it had the beginnings of case head...

    Why is this site so buggy now? Hard to get on, page loads take forever and instead of pages 1-10 so far being individual pages......it's one big looooong page you have to scroll down. And when you post it takes you back to the top of Page 1 of the looooooooong thread. I'm glad it's not part of...

    Just buy it and after you have installed the Bartlein, sell the OEM barrel. Someone will buy it from you. I highly doubt Ruger will sell a barrel-less rifle to you. They even tell you to remove all non-standard equipment or accessory off your rifle before you send it in for repair. They will...

    I'm so #@*&^^%@#!!! p'd off!! Long story short, the "firing pin back" as they call it.....just snapped off when I was setting the handle to cocking piece relationship to reassemble my bolt into the rifle. Item #3 on Page 51 of the RPR manual. This is the Gen 1 RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor. Okay so I'll...
