    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Looking at the disassembly/re-assemply YouTube (), I have to wonder whether the slot where that roll pin is inserted is actually correctly aligned with the slot in the rear of the firing pin. If the retaining lug is not screwed in correctly, then it's possible that someone sloppily inserted the...

    Thanks Ack. That folding hand truck seems perfect and relatively inexpensive. At some point, I'll probably invest in an Eberlestock or something like it. Putting it off for now.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    At Sam's Club, I bought a nice hard gun case at a great price for my new RPR. It works well for storage and would be necessary to fly with it. Still, it's pretty heavy in one hand over distance. While it rolls, it doesn't seem like the wheels would last long schlepping the quarter mile each...

    Looks like plastic, which is what the Tipton is made of. It's fine for routine maintenance, but the Tipton cannot handle seroius torque.

    Tried searching on just this thread, but evidently search doesn't filter correctly, so apologies if I'm retreading. Thinking about purchasing a Kestrel. As I'm not reloading, is the Kestrel Elite for Ruger the way to go?

    As long as there's enough eye relief to see the level without adjusting behind the scope.

    I really prefer my Timney to the bladed trigger. Hard for me to imagine better. There were some great deals around $175 a few weeks back.

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    New to PRS, I have been looking at the Kestrel as a necessary piece of hardware. Given the cost of the Kestrel Elite, it should do everything and am surprised to read that that's not the case.

    Looking from the end of the barrel towards the receiver, if it’s centered, then it sounds like an optical illusion. If it’s not affecting your precision, you seem good to go. As an aside, my hand-guard on my new RPR was not centered. Loosened it and tightened it in the right position and it's...

    Doing some research, Shooter's Choice Bore Cleaner seems to be the best reviewed product. What did you finally use to clean out the copper and lead fouling?

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Between Black Friday deals and patience, I now have everything I need to set up my RPR 6.5 CM for the first time. As I understand it, as long as you're on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public land, it's legal to shoot at targets as long as you're at least one mile from a residence and road...

    Bought a Timney straight trigger (650ST) for my RPR. The upgrade from the stock bladed trigger is incredible. All I could do was smile.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Now at the point where I'm looking at a good scope for my RPR and thinking about how to best mount it for precision shooting. Are Stehr scope mounts worth the price? While I generally take the view, "buy once cry once," if there's another single piece that people recommend, I'd appreciate the...

    Sling Suggestions?

    As an aside, selecting a sling (or holster) gave me the most angst initially. By contrast, there's great information available about the characteristics, benefits, and weaknesses of every major rifle, accessory, scope, and upgrade. These decisions are relatively easy. On the other hand...

    Sounds like a fun project. While I have my share of vices, I am without a good vise. Now you can lose it! :)
