Looks really nice GA, I want Midwest industries hand guard, issue is they only offer it in black , and no place where I live that does Cerakote so I can have cerakote FDE to match my rifle. Same time I kind want my rifle done in Tungsten color.
I live in Missouri, not really into shipping my rifle off. Nearest place to me that does Cerakote is around 3 hours away. Why I haven’t gotten real excited about it.Where do you live at? I can probably have a buddy of mine do the coating with a quick turn around. He did my full rifle in FDE.

Not bad considering the scope, rings and trigger. I’d ask him about mags. Don’t see one pictured
Have question for you guru’s, I have Athlon Ares BTR with 30 MOA pic rail on my RPR. I shoot normal up to 1k yards with few times a year up to 1.5k yards. Is having 30 moa going cause me issues with elevation? Would I need go back to 20 moa rail?
Also scope mounts, I prefer one piece mounts vs rings, standard or cantilever? Also thought you wanted your scope closet to the bore of your gun as possible without touching your rifle.
Here’s to scope mounts I’m looking at, sphur mounts out little high for me. Sorry for dumb questions I’m new at this well this depth of it anyways.

Sorry about the trouble you’re having with yours. Thanks for sharing so I can learn from the problems your having. You had said “Unfortunately for mine that doesn’t help as a check”. Were you referring to marking the bullet in sharpie?Unfortunately on mine that doesn't help as a check. Even if I load it short of the lands there are scratches on the bullet and brass. But, I also have feeding issues. And accuracy issues. One 3 shot group will be 1/4 moa and the next 1.5 moa. Regret getting it. Maybe I'll send it to Ruger but just don't have the energy right now.
Thanks Lefty, and which Warne to you have if you don’t mind me asking. I’m still browsing scope mounts, trying figure out which one I want.
Looking at the disassembly/re-assemply YouTube (), I have to wonder whether the slot where that roll pin is inserted is actually correctly aligned with the slot in the rear of the firing pin. If the retaining lug is not screwed in correctly, then it's possible that someone sloppily inserted the pin in the wrong spot and no amount of hammering will get it to go in. You may need to pull it to confirm that you have a good hole.I've never had this pin out or had any of this trouble . . . but, I would approach it like Howland suggested above by removing the firing pin. And if I were doing it, I'd simply tap the pin completely out in the same direction that it's already started. This way I could inspect the pin as well as the hole to see if the pin needs any work on it in case it dented or bent. Then, I'd clean out the hole and reinsert the pin. I think the hardest part of all this would probably be trying to get the firing pin back in place as that spring is it can be pretty tough to compress and get it all back in place at the same time.
Anybody have issues with the magpul aics mags? Mags seem to sag a little in the rear causing the bolt to only pick up rounds like 75% of the time. Gun is a 6.5 creedmoor.
No problem with managing recoil with the 6.5 creedmoor. Very mild.For you guys shooting the 6.5 Ruger Precision how is the recoil management keeping the target in the reticle? With my 308AR I was never able to keep the target in the reticle. 7.62x39 I was watching bullet all the way into steel last weekend. Just not able to do it with heavier hitting.
It's rock solid and provides a nice flat base for a rail & bipod setup.How do you like the Midwest industries hand guard? Thinking about getting one but would have too get it Cerakote. Realize last night doesn’t appear the lower part of RPR doesn’t have any numbers on it so I may be able have sent off with the hand guard and Cerakote. A Tungsten/black RPR think it would look sexy
4” if you remove your boltIf it's not too much trouble could I please ask one of you RPR owners to measure the width of your rifle at the stock end when you have it folded. Don't have my 6.5 yet, but was doing some case planning and I *think* my AR soft case will still work, but not sure how wide a RPR is when folded. Thanks
I have the exact same issue. Usually it's the first round I try to chamber that gives me issuesAnybody have issues with the magpul aics mags? Mags seem to sag a little in the rear causing the bolt to only pick up rounds like 75% of the time. Gun is a 6.5 creedmoor.
What happened? Did it check out?Thanks for the tips on freebore. Had no idea it was such an issue with these rifles. I’ve taken the last hour looking stuff up and read a lot of the issues with freebore on the 6mm rifle as you’d mentioned. I made the decision for the RPR because I thought they’d come without a headache. Now I might not even pick it up and pay the restocking fee - I don’t want to deal with hassle.
Anybody wanna buy a couple of those plastic mags??I have the exact same issue. Usually it's the first round I try to chamber that gives me issues
Need some advice or opinions, so on my RPR pic rail has a bubble level, bubble level on my turret off the scope, square with a plumb bob on my wall. So everything thing should be right in the world, but when I look through it looks like the reticle is off to the right a little, forgive the picture trying to get reticle to show up my phone was bit of challenge.
Anyways does this look off to you guys. Are my eye play tricks on me?

I picked it up today. I ran 5 sharpied rounds of factory Hornady 108gr ELD-M through it. I didn’t feel resistance having to push the round forward or anything and the rounds ejected easily. However, the bullets did have scratches on them. The 3 rounds on the left were run through the magazine. The 2 rounds on the right were single fed. What are you guys’ thoughts? It has scratches - does that mean no freebore and should go back to Ruger?What happened? Did it check out?
Those are just ordinary scratches that ocure during the chambering/ejection process. What you should be looking for are clear rifling marks on the ogive which I don't see here. I think your freebore is fine.I picked it up today. I ran 5 sharpied rounds of factory Hornady 108gr ELD-M through it.

Looks fine to me. Scratches would be more pronounced and nearer to the case neck rim if freebore was short. Looks like you got a winner.I picked it up today.

Hey there, new to the RPR platform.
I purchased a 223 version for PRS practice. Happy with everything except the magazines. Continual feed issues, like can’t get through a whole magazine. I have filed and massaged them to no avail.
So I’m looking for a metal magazine but can’t seem t9 find anyone wit( inventory. Any suggestions?
Also, has any had feed ramp issues and/or filed the ramp area?
Thanks, John
Finally started load development this week for my gen 3 RPR 6.5 creedmoor. Stupid easy to reload for, just about everything shoots 1/2 MOA with the 140 ELDs. I actually have no idea why people are spending money on aftermarket barrels when the OEM are shooting this good.
Looks like I got three contenders 41.7 41.9 and 42.3. not sure why I had the exact same flyers on each of my 41.7 groups, I know it was me because each flyer happen in a different sequence of fire from the two different 5rd groups of 41.7. Looks like 42.3 is going to be the Winner but I'm going to take them out to 200yrds, 300yrds get them on a Chronograph and see which one of the three different loads groups the best at distance.

I ran my factory barrel for over 3000 rounds before it gave up the ghost.
Hope the New 338 Laps run just as good.

My newly purchased RPR is having trouble adjusting for LOP. As shown in the first picture the lower picatinny rail and rear stock frame do not line up and slide together easily. If I pinch the adjustment rod and the lower picatinny rail together it will slide stiffly under the rear stock frame. This will allow limited and stiff adjustments, however, it will not allow for minimum LOP. As seen in the second picture, it will adjust to the point where the worn finish is and, due to friction the friction at that point, it will freeze in place. I had to let it soak in Ballistol for and few then use a lot of force to get it out of the bind. I don’t know if it’s the lower picatinny rail or the rear stock that are bad, but they don’t line up.
There’s nothing I’m missing, right? I’m going to give Ruger a call tomorrow and see if they’ll send me the rear portion of the stock. I guess I could file it down if I really wanted to? If so, should I file the lower picatinny rail or the rear stock frame?
