3400 on my .308. It’s almost broken in ?
6” to 9” is pretty commonI am coming off the bench, and going to a shooting mat; what is a common height bi-pod I should be looking for?
Question to anyone who would know.
Before I mount my scope on this new rifle, does anyone know what the torque setting is on the 20 MOA scope base on the Ruger Precision just in case the screws are lose?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
ThanksIn general 25-30 INCH POUNDS with blue loctite.
NOT FOOT POUNDS

I guess that 9-13 or there abouts, can get kind of leggy? ...maybe even unstable depending on the weight of the rifle? I am looking at Harris, but will not rule out other quality brands.

I did what Pilotscrappy suggested above with my .308 and after 3700+ rounds on the factory I swapped it out for a Krieger barrel and it then took a couple hundred rounds to find the load that satisfies me. . . not to forget that you won't want to use the brass fired in the factory barrel (assuming you're reloading). So, you might say there's a little extra expense in going with this route. Though I did enjoy the 3700 rounds as the factory barrel did pretty well . . . just not as good as the Krieger barrel. I also now enjoy the easier cleaning aspect of my Krieger SS barrel as well as accuracy nodes that are somewhat larger.
Atlas does offer leg extensions if you were to find the one you purchase isn't high enough. https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/7...+Rests,+Bi-Pods+&+Benches&utm_content=789039#I am barrel chested, and I am afraid that a 6-9 is not going to give enough elevation for me to comfortably get behind the glass. I have been looking at the 9-13 in Harris options, as well as the Atlas 7-13.
Where can i get a new/stock RPR 6.5CM barrel? I've googled but haven't found a good source.
Thanks
How did it take you a few hundred rounds to find a load in the new barrel?

I want a true 1/2 moa or better 5 shot groups, repeatably. I will be handloading and haven't had a chance to shoot it yet in stock form due to unforeseen issues . Likely go the kreiger barrel route if factory barrel can't deliver the accuracy. ThxSame here. With my hand loads and the factory barrel, I don’t see anything over 1/2 moa. Sure a Krieger might shrink that slightly. Just depends what your standards are.

I spent some time on eBay/Gunbroker searching but not luck. I reached out to Ruger and they said "The barrel is a factory fitted item and can't be sold to anyone; it needs to be installed by our technicians at the factory. We would only re-barrel the firearm with the original length and caliber it came with. "Where can i get a new/stock RPR 6.5CM barrel? I've googled but haven't found a good source.

I would try posting on the Snipers Hide Post Exchange - PX Accessories subforum with a Wanted to Buy (WTB) ad stating your request. There are some here that have taken the factory RPR barrel off and immediately replaced it with an upgraded one without ever shooting it. You may be able to pick one up from another member for a reasonable price.I spent some time on eBay/Gunbroker searching but not luck.

Is there another forum here I could post on?
I use some string tied to a weight and hung up, and then level rifle. I use the string (plumb line) to line up reticle while rifle is level.I have a pic bubble that hangs off the side to level the rifle. Then I have a separate bubble that I can sit on top of the turret. When I level everything out, my eye sees the reticle being off by maybe a hair. I have yet to take it somewhere that I can reference the reticle against to make sure its level.
I'm going to pick up a Knights Armament level and see if that is any better.
Are you flinching due to the increased amount of recoil?

I've been firing mostly 175 SMK's and recently found a load for my new Krieger barrel that's working well at 42.5 gr IMR 4064. I was loading up the last of my SMK's and had 3 cases left ready for seating, so I seated 3 of the 175 gr Nosler Custom Competition that I pick up on a very good clearance deal. I was surprised that this load, which is working great with my SMK's, apparently works well the these NCC's too. The 3 rounds gave me one hole (@100 yds). Now I've loaded up 50 more to try again tomorrow and see if they really will give me that kind of performance with that load.
^ Does your scope’s diopter do anything to help with the glaucoma? Just curious.
NoDo I need to swap factory magazines in rebarreling from 6 Creedmoor to 6.5 Creedmoor? If so, what are the top aftermarket options for cost and performance?
Thanks!
Any issues associated with having an aftermarket stainless barrel under the keymod handguard? I won't be able to access it to oil it. Any rust issues? What if the gun gets wet?
About ready to install a new krieger barrel and wondering if i should cerakote it.
Thanks!
