I'm interested in this as well. Anybody have an idea?
Last one for a gen2 6 creed https://gunprime.com/product/ruger-precision-6mm-creedmoor-18016-black/Have a friend that is looking for one of the Gen 2 6mm Creedmoor RPRs that have been on sale for months for under $850. Tried talking him into one when he could have had it delivered for as low as $675 but he wasn’t ready several months ago. LOL, now he wants one but can’t find one for less than $1100+.
Anyone know where any may still exist for sale at $900 or under? He is only interested in buying brand new from a dealer via direct transfer to store or local FFL. No private sales or used guns.
Appreciate any leads you can provide to pass on to him. Thanks!
Share the load??Just shot this 100yd 5-shot group (lower left) with my 308 RPR during load development. I love this rifle!

Looks great. What rear support is that?Well got around reloading some ammo, sadly my RPR doesn’t really like 100 gr bullets, but I got them on sale so have 455 rounds of plinking/practice rounds.
Also few new items, titanium fluted bolt shroud, accu-shot mono pod.

Surprised you reloaded so many without actually testing them. Perhaps different powders. Try a ladder test.
I did do load test, 5 different powder loads with 5 rounds each. Hottest load group the best out them. I had some 120gr eld match and 129 SST. Shot two groups of 5 with each ammo then grouped with in a penny, where even hottest load it About a quarter sized.Looks great. What rear support is that?

Share the load??
Thanks gonna have to try that! Don’t know what kind of speed you runnin??Nosler 168gr bullet with 42.0 gr Varget, OAL 1.805". Brass from once fired Federal gold medal match.
I got another load I’m working on 170 Lapua D46 and 42 grains of H4895 shoots pretty good. Lapua brass with a 210m.^ Awesome. I can vouch for that. I used a very similar load to shoot my best group ever with this rifle at 100 which measured .177”
Nosler 168 gr
42.1 gr varget
Nosler once fires brass
Federal 210m primer
2.800” OAL
Now I just shoot the 190 SMK

I got 175 SMK at under an inch at 200 with 44.0 grains of Varget, Lapua case and 210m.

Still isIf you're a PRS shooter, 190s are over the weight limit for Tactical division... or it was last time I checked.
Unfortunately I don't have a chrono, so I am shooting blind. But for the ranges I am shooting with this bullet (100-300 yd) I think I am OK.
What is the advantage to the heavier 190 bullet? 168 SMK performed the same as the Nosler 168 (but pricier), but I couldn't get the same group sizes with the 175 SMK.
Any of you guys have issues with the 6 screws on the stock hand guard coming loose? Have not tried LockTite yet, but going to next. Not like it's coming off, but it does loosen up over time.
Ok thanks.....gonna LockTite-em tonight.Have not had any issues on this with my .308 after 3700 rounds on factory barrel. Now with 1100 rounds on a Kreiger barrel, still no issues regarding these screws.
Spife7980, Thanks for the link to the PRS rules!
I bought two of the curved, but then all of my guns have curved triggers. Muscle memory between different types may or may not be a problem?? I try to make all of my guns fit and feel the same. JMOLooking to finally upgrade to a Timney trigger while it's on sale on Midway. Any suggestions as to going with the curved or flat trigger?
Looking forward to a range reviewWell I just got mine back from RWS, WOA 6.5 barrel cut to 18" spiral fluted and had a MI handguard put in thats rock solid and cerakoted tungsten, CTR and riser with fluted extension matched cerakote, shaved it down from 10.7 factory to 8.9 pounds, qaiting on the vortex scope, fluted shroud and titanium fluted bolt knob, its not Q FIX weight but im more than happy
havent made it out yet mounted the scope and bipod, I had a leupold M3 laying around, so on my digital bathroom scale I tried it multiple ways including holding the rifle and subtracting my weight and all were 11.4 pounds 11 pounds 6ozLooking forward to a range review
I use this Black Label bag which works well. I have a 24" barrel which just barely fits with the stock folded. The outside has large pockets for storage, and you can either hold it by handles or wear it like a backpack.Anyone here fold their RPR into a soft case? I'd love to hear anyone's experiences make/model for a soft case with width folded. Even if it's longer than necessary that's cool too b/c I'd like to leave my can on which is +8". Thanks
Oh man thanks that is beautimus appreciate itI use this Black Label bag which works well. I have a 24" barrel which just barely fits with the stock folded. The outside has large pockets for storage, and you can either hold it by handles or wear it like a backpack.
Would love to get a NF but don't have the cash.
The rifle looneys at the range suggested that somewhere between 44 and 45 grains of Varget behind a 168 will be a sweet spot. Sure enough it worked. 4064 is an old school powder that still works. Rumor on the intraweb is that 4064 is what is used in Federal Gold Medal 168 factory ammo. We know how well that works. Worked up the RL15 load as I have a stockpile of it for use in High Power competition. As for brass I may give Starline a try. Priced very good and if the quality is anything like their pistol brass then I should be good to go. However I have loads that work so why mess with it?
Yes this rifle is fun as hell. What is cool is that I can learn on this platform and my retirement fund isn't being drained in the process. Ruger hit one out of the park.
I have a SWFA SS 20x42 on mine as well. It was originally on my DPMS LR-308 SASS but I put a Primary Arms ACSS scope on the 308. It works well to 1K yards with my SWFA and it takes a beating very well.

Same here blue locktited them....put 70 rounds down range and was tight as a drum. Thanks guysALL of of the screws on mine were merely finger tight right out of the box. Some weren't even that.
I took a moment with brake cleaner and a q-tip to remove every screw and replace them with loctite.

I use this one:

I would love to know about this as well.Not sure if this has been talked about but I have been thinking about rebarreling my RPR Gen 2 to 6.5 PRC once this 6 Creed is shot out. Is there enough material on the bolt face to open it up to a magnum diameter? Anyone know if the PRC bolt will fit in a standard RPR? I don't see why it wouldn't. Just starting to think before I shoot out this barrel and need something right away.
I'm assuming Magpul hasn't yet found it economical to make their mags more compliant with the reloading crowd? I think it was 2.8-ish last I heard have not shot 308 in a few years so it's foggy. Have you looked at C-Products mags? Not sure if they fit the reloading specs, but if you have not heard of them worth a look as their mags fit my 6.5 RPR.Question: I’m running Alpha 2 mags in my RPR 308, no binder plate. I want some more but called and emailed Alpha no reply? Might be out of business?
What would you guys recomend? I’m looking at MDT with no binders???
Thanks!

^ Ive been wanting to try the 180 or 185 juggernauts. Figuring I could push them slightly faster than my 190 SMK’s. I’ll get around to it someday
