    6.5 Creedmoor Sierra HPBT issue?

    Sure looks like you are touching the lands. Try pushing one back to 2.80” and see if it takes care of your problem. If you have the various measuring tools you can figure out exactly if what is going one is due to the differences in the bullet’s geometries.

    No worries! Along with the RPR you might want to have a look at the Tikka T3, Bergara, and Howa offerings. Lots to read about each of them in other threads in this very forum. Read along having a rifle budget in mind and don’t forget To also put aside the extra $$$ for a decent scope. If it were...

    Curious, what does this have to do with a Ruger Precision Rifle? Did you perhaps post on wrong thread? maybe River is really Ruger? Spellcheck?

    Hello my name is Tikka and i endorse this post.

    Not sure why you think all is crap! There is an RPR Discussion thread stickie on this forum with approximately 5k responses which mostly trend positive! Always nice to have nice stuff though. :LOL: Just make sure to avoid IOR!😱

    Tripod Ballhead best practice?

    I often throw my bipod on the rifle just to get more weight up front to better balance the rifle when shooting off the tripod. Suppressor helps some too. Lots less wobble as you get closer to the perfect balance point. Shooting mostly an RPR on an Innorel RT90C with the MWOR plate and RRS...

    I’ve gotten free goodies from them as well! They are also very quick to respond in their customer service department.

    Suppressors Thunderbeast come with a muzzlebreak??

    Silencer Shop never shipped my brake until I called them and notified them it was not in the box they had shipped to my local dealer. Of course, I discovered this when I went to get my suppressor out of jail. SS tried to tell me they had shipped it to me directly months earlier but were never...

    Thanks Hardpan. Been thinking of doing that as well. To confirm, you could initially not slide the handguard nut all the way to reach the threads... it hung up on the last few inches.

    Not quite there yet! On to the next issue! Went to put handguard back on and slid nut assembly down barrel to screw it onto the barrel nut and it would not go the last 4” or so. I did some measuring of the outside diameters of the barrels over the thickest portion, last 3.5-4” closest to the...

    SUCCESS!!!! Finally got the barrel nut loose. Just needed to use a bigger hammer!!! Choked up on an 8# :eek: sledge hammer, gave it two little love taps, and everything came apart no problem in 5 seconds. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement you all provided here. It gave me the...

    Imported carbon fiber tripod (RT90C)

    LOL! For all we know it may be Innorel competing with itself. The tripod, ball head, and fluid head offerings seem to be mirror images of each other as well.

    Been trying a 2 lb. dead blow hammer to no avail. How big a mallet did you have to use?

    Well, the Magpul wrench arrived today and I went to work with the barrel held in a vise. The Magpul wrench on the barrel nut with a 2 foot long piece of pipe on it trying to turn counter clockwise when looking from the muzzle. And, the Anarchy Outdoors action rod in the receiver twisting in the...

    LOL! Precisely where I am at now except my armorers wrench, a crappy Gem State Armorers wrench, has given up the ghost. Main body has warped, inserts have deformed and indexing pins have come loose. I will be purchasing a Magpul wrench from somewhere before the weekend is over. I did manage to...

    Cjt1983 and straightshooter1, for sh!&$ and grins, when looking down the muzzle towards the stock which way were you banging (turning) the barrel nut to break it loose? Clockwise or counter-clockwise?

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Been struggling trying to take off my factory RPR barrel as well. I have an armorers wrench but it appears the teeth are not meshing well with the teeth on the barrel nut and I am hesitant to gorilla it for fear of trashing the whole works. I’ve got a Viper barrel vise and an Anarchy Outdoors...

    Sinitron, if you are looking for a scope or a tripod I'd give Doug a call at cameralandNY.com and he will guide you in the right direction. He is a very respected and knowledgeable SHide vendor that will give you a more than fair price if you mention you are a Hide member. Many here have...
