For sure. I did and it’s a bitch compressing the spring enough to reinsert the tool.
Has anyone tried out one of those stocks? As far as I know the bolt shroud isn't necessary. You could run the bolt without it or probably use a Ruger American bolt shroud. There would still be some area need behind the folding mechanism but I'm wondering if those stocks may have enough room.
I got the RPR .338 Lapua for Christmas. I’m afraid this is going to be a gateway drug.
A little off topic but, got a NICS delay the other day. Bought a Remington 597 just to dick around with. Over two decades of buying guns and I’ve never got one before. Came back proceed two days later. I figure it’s just the holidays. Come on Trump. Fix that shit!
I got a CCW just for that purpose becuase in KY if you have a CCW they don’t do the background check. Before I got mine 100% of the time I got the delayed, it was super annoying because I am super impatient. I’m not sure why I always got delayed. I do have a super common name. I also was in the military and had a clearance at one time. Which I was told could be a reason, which might make sense because they only rifle I never got delayed on was the one I bought before joining the military.
I picked up a RPR in 6mmCM this week. 60 rounds down the pipe. Using Lapua brass, GM205MAR, H4350. Ladder testing at 300 yds. Best load for 107 Sierras seems to be 42.5 gr. (2984fps with SD 6) 0.8" and 1.0" 3 shot groups at 300 yds, also shot a 3.25" 4 shot group at 610 yds. The 115 Bergers are also doing well at 0.5 MOA for 3 shot groups at 300 yds, best load so far 41.0 gr. (2800fps) 0.9" 3 shot group. The trigger was 2 pounds but gritty at first but seems to be smoothing out as more rounds are fired. Thank you Sportsmans Warehouse for taking my $680.

There are probably some tools available but I made a wooden block that I drilled first with a hole for the firing pin sring long enough to make sure it wouldn't kink or bend and then a hole the size of the firing pin the rest of the way through. You then can use the bolt handle to compress the spring. There is a video on the Ruger site showing the procedure.
As long as there's enough eye relief to see the level without adjusting behind the scope.
Yeah, I did the same thing essentially. I just closed my vise to withing an 1/8" or so the firing pin would fit between but the shoulder further back would not. I then used the bolt handle topush down on to compress the spring while I got the tool back in place without drawing blood.
Got my load testing rounds all loaded up for my Proof 24" M24 Prefit barrel. We'll see how they go. Reloder 17 and H4350
Who ever groups the best wins! I'll figure out velocity later LOL. Plus, it's always good to have a couple pet loads for when one powder runs out and unable to resupply. I may do another with IMR 3031 or 4064. Had great luck with those when I was doing 308.
Prime Brass
Norma Golden Target 130g pills
Remington 9 1/2 primers
Loaded to .010" off lands.

Working on my depth test. Each of these are 4 shot groups. Seems to prefer more freebore. Still need to get it out more but def shows more promise than I could've hoped for. Groups 1-4 are the RPR. The middle group are sighters for another gun.

Went to their website and couldn't find it now. Bummer or I just entered the wrong info... Your link worked though,
I brought it to their attention about the likely inability to run the bolt back/forth. They advised me they would contact Carex and confirm the compatibility with an RPR.... I guess you found out the answer...
They're a bunch of silly willy's and advertised a product for an application it wasn't designed for.
Like racing slicks on a Baja 500 vehicle.....
Yeah, I’m definitely will have to reload. I have always loved load development
Any reports on how the 115 DTAC’s perform in the 6 Creedmoor? I would like to try some before buying in bulk. If you’ve had good performance would you mind sharing your load?
Thanks
Thanks
I don't have any DTACs but 115 berger VLD target ,Lapua brass, 41.0 gr H4350, 2.790 COAL, Federal AR match primer, 2890 fps SD 5. In my ladder test shot 3 into 0.95" at 300 yds. Took it to 610 yds with my last 4 rounds (no wind 6200 DA) was able to squeeze 4 into 2.25"
. Flattened primers no cratering possibly the faintest of swipe marks, no hard bolt lift. I will not go any hotter. Gm205MAR. Love this RPR.

The biggest change was after the Gen 1 with the handguard. Most sold now are Gen 3 or whatever they’re on now. You can compare your model number to the websites listed model numbers which would be the gen 3 which is what yours looks to be.
If the bolt surface showing when closed is black, and the hand guard is MLOK, it is the newest model.
This is some of what I remember to help you tell them apart.
The Gen 1 had a handguard that included a piccatinny rail that extended the full length across the top. The Gen 2 had a key-mod rail that was smooth on the top and came from Ruger with an aluminum bolt shroud already installed. The Gen 3 are the current production and sport m-lok rails.

I think they went to an ambi selector on the Gen2.
Gen3 also has the nitride bolt that is black in color.

Fellow RPR shooters,
I want to start a movement.
For far too long the RPR has been looked at as lesser than other rifles. Inferior to rifles with names like Vector, Deviant, Spectre, and Scalpel. While those rifles have cool names, our’s has a name that is just a description of what it is, it’s Ruger’s Precision Rifle.
The time has come to create a new name and claim the coolness that it deserves. In the vain of modern names like Tumblr and Grindr I think we should look at the name RPR as just missing a couple vowels.
And so, I present to you….. The ReaPeR! (capitalization for emphasis)
You may ask yourself why am I doing this. Well it’s because I’m bored. Is this a stupid idea? Yes. Is it meaningless? Sure. Is it idiotic? Uh huh. Have you waisted your time reading this? Absolutely.
There is only one questions left. Will you join me on this quest to claim coolness for the rifle that we love?
Who’s with me?!

I've been calling mine a RiPpeR since I got it two and a half years ago...Jack for short.
I have been using Prime 6.5CM and been happy, I heard they are in a dispute with a supplier and have been out of stock for a while. I am looking for factory ammo suggestion to load up on here in CA ahead of the upcoming law changes.
What factory ammo have you all had good luck target/long range(no hunting) that I should shift to?

Hornady 140 ELD-M and Hornady American Gunner have worked well for me, though I haven't been able to push out too far with them yet. AG is of course not as good as ELD-M but is cheaper. They're also both readily available at Sportsman's Warehouse.
I also have one in 5.56/.223 that I call Jack Jr., but after watching the Incredibles the other day, I may start calling him Jack-Jack. I also have a Rem 700 .308 action in an AB Arms Mod-X chassis whose name is, of course...Maude.
