Join the contest SubscribeIs the LRI bolt shroud an upgrade from the factory aluminum one or are they comparable?
Anarchyoutdoors carries a titanium shroud that has a milled firing pin key in the back of it. It doesn't have the allen key to adjust the trigger, but since I changed my trigger, I don't have to worry about it.I replaced my gen 1 plastic shroud with a LRI shroud. As nice as it is, I think it’s just an appearance thing. Although I can’t remember if you can put the takedown tools in the LRI shroud. Someone else may be able to answer that part.
Timney's website has some info on the adjustment if you go to their website and type in Ruger Precision Rifle. The adjustment is in the front (Muzzle) end of the trigger assembly. Looks like a hole about in the middle of the front of the mechanism and adjusts with an allen wrench.Does anyone know how or have any documentation on adjusting the Timney trigger for the RPR?

In my humble opinion, I think it operates smoother than the aluminum shroud and cycles better.
Just happy that I found something it likes. Guess there really is something to this ballistics stuff...
And i'm glad it now shoots like the 6.5 at shorter ranges which is why I bought it.
i found match 140's for 229 on AMMOSEEK.I went and bought the last 200rd box of Hornady 140g 6.5 creedmoor from sportsman’s warehouse for $139. I know it is not the best match grade ammunition, but for the price I couldn’t pass it up. Now I will have all the brass I need to start reloading. It is warm today so me and the wife are going to go to the range and zero the new scope and stretch the legs out to 1000 yards. I am bringing the Remington 700 sps Tactical .223 as well. I have only had my wife out one other time to shoot long-range. My job doesn’t allow me much time to shoot, this will be only the second time since last summer. Oh, I also bought a Ruger SP 101 4.2” .357 mag that I need to shoot.
Just a heads up on my experience with Hornady brass. It's great for the first 3 maybe 4 loadings. Then the case separation began. Pure misery. I bought a batch of 6.5 CM from Starline Brass, it's cheaper and very hardy. You can feel the difference when you pick it up. I have one batch with 9 loadings now, and it shows zero signs of wear or neck thinning. You might consider them, they make great brass.I went and bought the last 200rd box of Hornady 140g 6.5 creedmoor from sportsman’s warehouse for $139.

Hello everyone new RPR shooter here....
I have a few Custom $3500+ rifle but I just couldn't resist giving the RPR a Go after what I saw last month.. I watched as two seasoned shooters, one with a broke in but bone stock GEN 2 6.5 CM with hand loads, go head to head with a new AI AX with hand loads..... Both rifles shot .5 MOA or Less !! Out to 1000yrds, at this point they had a bit of a crowd and someone told them to switch rifles and see if it was still shooter err with the new AI... Nope after making some Comfort adjustment both shooters repeated identical groupings with each other's rifles... Have we all been waisting our money on over priced Custom builds???
I have recently purchased a Ruger RPR Gen 2 from the guys at CS tactical and I have been doing a lot of reading in this thread but I'm still on page 13. I have a few questions right now because I would like to submit an order for some ammo and parts.
Just to clear up some things first, yes I will be reloading but for now I'll just stock up on fire formed brass and conduct barrel break in.
(1) what store bought ammo is shooting the best overall with the new GEN 2 6.5 Creedmoor ???
(2) have most the kinks been worked out now that Rugers not rushing these rifles..( crooked barrels/ Muzzle Brakes, shitty barrel work)
(3) with the OEM Barrel would a few treatments of JB Bore past be a good idea??
(4) what's the verdict on the new
147ELDs??
(5) with all my Precision rifles I use the Redding Competition Neck Sizing Die kit, I'm assuming thats what everyone else is using??
I'm putting an order in soon for the 130 Hybrids and 140s but I really want to see what the new 147 can do bast 1000.
Once I start reloading I'll be using Lapua Small primer brass and H4350.
I'm going to give the OEM Barrel and stock Chance before replacing. But I did already called up Timney and ordered a RPR to my specs. 1st Stage 8oz - 2nd stage 13oz
Any other recommendations would be appreciated... Thanks in Advance

i watched. its typical and i expected it. The only difference between my AI and my RPR is the AI is just so refined. but they are both equally accurate rifles.Oh yeah..lol
I posted this almost exact thread in the bolt action forum purposely trying to compare the RPR to the AI AX as being equals.... It was absolutely fucking priceless the reactions that I got, I'm talking like a complete dog pile, ..and then out of nowhere LL comes out and praises the RPR .... And not a fucking peep then from anyone..lol
Yea people don’t like the truth lolOh yeah..lol

5.56 are around. As an FYI. mine doesn't like light ammo. I need to shoot 77g in it to get groups that will make me happy. See the posting around 1240 in this string for the info. Got some good help here solving the issue.Think I just answered my own question. Found some for $799 from some dealers, not sure I can pass that up.
I was really leaning towards the 5.56, seemed like it would be fun. Then I read that it has a 1/9 twist barrel. If you only shoot 100-300 yds it would be fine, but 600-1000 you would need at least a 80gr bullet
I have one and the twist identified by Ruger is 1:7. To get good results with mine, I had to go with +70g rounds.The spec I saw said 1:7
Question for those of you that have replaced the forearm with a Seekins SPR rail, are all of the SPR3 versions compatible with the RPR when using the Seekins barrel nut? I noticed there are versions 2 and 3 of this rail. I’m thinking of trading a guy for one locally but not sure which version it is.
I believe the 18008 is the gen 1 rifle. 18029 is the new version. One of the big differences between gen 1 & gen 2 is the shroud for the bolt. The Gen 1 is plastic and the gen 2 is aluminum.^ Just looking at it I can see while the 18008 has the reversible safety, the 18029 actually has a selector on both sides. Cant seem to find anything else
I don’t reload but hornady 140ELD’s and prime 130’s run perfect in mine.I just picked up a new RPR in 6.5 CM. I bought 200 rounds of Winchester match 140 G to make friends with the new rifle.
I would appreciate some insight on what bullet weights and manufacturers the gun likes as well as preferred powders.
Thanks,
Skip
Can someone please help me here, I'm a bit confused, what's the difference in the Ruger RPR 18008 and the 18029??? I noticed right off the bat that is has a black bolt, whet else am I missing here because I read the specs on newest of the RPR rifle and didn't see anything mentioned above new changes they still call the Gen 2s??
Mine likes the 143 ELD-X rounds. I don't reload either.I don’t reload but hornady 140ELD’s and prime 130’s run perfect in mine.
i believe the ELD-X is their hunting ammo? ive never used anything but match ammo as i dont hunt with mine. Im going to try the hornady 130 ELD-M's next.Mine likes the 143 ELD-X rounds. I don't reload either.![]()
It is their hunting ammo. It shoots just as well as the 140 eld match for mei believe the ELD-X is their hunting ammo? ive never used anything but match ammo as i dont hunt with mine. Im going to try the hornady 130 ELD-M's next.
the reality is there is probably not a lot of difference other than marketing.It is their hunting ammo. It shoots just as well as the 140 eld match for me
True,the reality is there is probably not a lot of difference other than marketing.
I’ve seen talk of that too but couldn’t figure it out. I just swapped mine out with a timney last night. Super happy with that decision.Hey guys I've seen some talk on here about removing the "trigger spring" and this some how improves it, is there any pics of this mod??
