    Cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel with 5R Rifling at minimum bore and groove dimensions, minimum headspace and centralized chamber.
    20 MOA Picatinny rail secured with four, #8-40 screws for increased long-range elevation capabilities.

    Three-lug bolt with 70° throw features dual cocking cams and a smooth-running, full diameter bolt body.
    In-line recoil path manages recoil directly from the rear of the receiver to the buttstock, not through a traditional bedding system, providing maximum accuracy potential.
    Ruger® Precision MSR stock with QD sling attachment points features a bottom Picatinny rail and soft rubber buttpad. The left-folding stock hinge is attached to an AR-style buffer tube and accepts any AR-style stock.
    Barrels can be easily replaced by a competent gunsmith using AR-style wrenches and headspace gauges.
    Magazine well front is contoured for a positive grip for bracing against shooting supports.
    Oversized bolt handle for positive bolt manipulation, with 5/16"-24 thread for easy replacement. Bolt disassembly tool is stored in the bolt shroud for easy striker channel cleaning. Also features a Ruger Precision Rifle™ Billet Aluminum Bolt Shroud.
    "Lower" magazine well halves are precision machined from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and are Type III hard coat anodized for maximum durability.
    Patent-pending multi-magazine interface functions interchangeably with AICS and M110/SR-25/DPMS/Magpul-style magazines (works with some M14 magazines).
    Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger is externally adjustable with a pull weight range of 2.25 to 5.0 lbs.; wrench is stored in the bolt shroud.
    Extended trigger-reach AR-style grip and 45° reversible safety selector. May be configured with any AR-style grip and selector.
    Also includes: two, 10-round Magpul® PMAG® magazines.
    Equipped with a Ruger Precision Rifle™ Short-Action Handguard for improved scope clearance for long-range scopes.

    It's in the shop if you want to check it out. I'll try and post up pics tomorrow.

    :lol: Not any more. It's about to occupy a place of honor, as King of the Safe Queens... until I can afford an appropriate optic. Thanks for the terrific service, great conversation, and the usual helpful attitude. It's always a pleasure to stop in. And it's always hard on my credit card. :innocent0

    Thanks we appreciate the purchase and the kind words.

    And on another happy note. One of our distributors offered me another if we ordered a bunch of 10-22 rifles. I hate the way that works, but we have some 10-22 on the way and one more Precision rifle.

    So, does that mean you'll throw in a 10-22 with the purchase of the RPR? :lol2:

    I took it out to AGC yesterday for some fun in the sun. I'm using a Vortex scope until I can afford a Nightforce. Anyway, after some tinkering with the stock, cheek piece, scope mount, etc. I was getting pretty nice groups at 100 yards. Still have a long way to go to get it dialed in and for me to improve my skillset. I'm pretty happy for a first range trip.

    Here's my last shot of the day at 100 yards with cheap ammo (PMC Bronze):

    They have a .308 version in stock. I checked it out this morning. The price was decent. I was sorely tempted but it was still there when I left. If you are looking for one, I wouldn't wait! They were really nice to talk with and I plan to do some business with them on another item real soon!
