What height rings are you guys running with a 50mm obj? I'm looking at the 1.2 or 1.4, on my AT, I have to move the cheekpiece to the right a tad and was thinking on the 1.4 for a better head pos?

I used Nightforce ultralight rings in the 1.375 height and they are gtg on cheek weld and scope cap clearance on my ATACR 4-16x50.What height rings are you guys running with a 50mm obj?

I have one and it fits great. I had it cerakoted by them too in armor black (did the white inlay myself).

I have one of these in titanium and they will engrave whatever you want on them.
What I like about this model is the titanium (or aluminum) bolt disassembly tool which is so much more durable than the plastic one from Ruger.
Ruger Precision Rifle Bolt Shroud Replacement
The Titanium Gun Parts' Ruger Precision Rifle Bolt Shroud with Tool is the only aftermarket complete factory shroud replacement. Many aftermarket shrouds have solid cores and do not contain the firing pin tear down tool. The RPR comes with a plastic tool that is prone to breaking. The Ruger...www.anarchyoutdoors.com

300PRC is shooting great. Top round in the magazine is tough to chamber but smooth on all the rest. I replaced the ugly brake with a mad scientist.

That's a beautiful rifle. I just wish the 300wm's weren't so darn heavy.
I went with the 6mm Creedmoor because that is what my local shop had on sale, and I can't complain.my 1st bolt gun, so im looking to get into the long range game & PRS matches. do u recc the 6mm CM or the 6.5CM? why? what other mods would u suggest?
6.5 seems to be far more common with the people I shoot with and for factory ammo.
6.5CM Gen2,
PRS Gen3 buttstock,
Ergo Tactical Deluxe Grip,
Bushnell ERS with H59,
Badger rings,
Badger Bolt Knob,
Accuracy 1st bubble level,
MI 18" Handguard,
Atlas PSR bipod,
CTK Precision magazine release extension.
New ambi safety in the works and possibly the Timney trigger.

I would assume you will have more options available to you. When I first got my RPR in 6mm I had a hard time finding factory ammo to start with. I forgot to mention earlier too that everything I have read or have been told says the 6mms are barrel burners; I have yet to witness that but I am only at 1,400 rounds. The 6.5s are supposed to be more forgiving as far as barrel life.since i dont reload, this maybe a better option?
I know this is 2 years too late, but I just stumbled on your comment. I contacted Samson when I got my Gen 2 and this is what they told me.Question Gen 2 owners, does anyone have a setup to put a section of pic rail on the handguard at the 12 o'clock position? The rep at Ruger couldn't figure out I had a gen 2 rpr. The holes aren't threaded, so I'm not sure what options are available. Any info is appreciated, thanks.
RPR Gen II, 6.5 Creedmoor. Any Stats on barrel life for this rifle? Thanks
Went out with the rpr xl yesterday. Factory ammo (cheapest s&b I can find local) runs right at .7 moa. I shot ladders and most everything was sub moa. I had several in the .6-.7 range, and 2 sets under .5. I know it can do better because I usually stack 2 rounds and have one open the group. I guess it's time to buy some lapua brass and see what all the hubbub is about.
and just to through it out there.... Houston in the middle of august is brutal at the range

The best thing ever is a hand press. Drink beer, watch tv and reload ammo
I have the enhanced RPR with the smooth top rail on the forend. Does anyone know who makes a screw on 1913 rail that will mount on the factory hand Guard?i have night vision coming and need a place to clip it on the forward rail. Really don’t want to change handguards out yet.
Yea I’m not aware of anyone that makes a chunk of rail to match the contour of the top of the factory Gen 2 handguard. You could try to find something close but then you also gotta worry about hole spacing. Samson makes a direct replacement handguard that used the factory barrel nut for like $150. Probably cheapest and easiest option. That or find someone trying to sell a gen 3 mlok takeoff on flebay or something like that
Mine was shooting half moa till about 2700 rounds.RPR Gen II, 6.5 Creedmoor. Any Stats on barrel life for this rifle? Thanks
Mine was shooting half moa till about 2700 rounds.
I'm now at 3018 rounds and it's struggling to hold an inch group @ 100 yards.
I just got a borescope I'll post some pics tonight of how burnt out my throat is ?
I am running 42.6 of rl16 and a 140eld in hornady brass think I am right at 2700fps with that load in my rprYup . . . sounds like it's time for a new barrel there. Getting 2700 rounds down a 6.5CM and holding 1/2 MOA is pretty good.
Of course, just how long the barrel is going to last has a lot to do with how hot the loads are. If one is running hot loads, one should expect a lot less than 2700.
My .308 factory barrel has 3700 rounds and still getting sub 1/2 MOA. . . . though I haven't run very many "hot" loads through it and my loads are typically medium/mild. The lands has moved .023 and I'm loading long.
I use what I consider to be a medium load. I’m at 4100 and still seeing 1/2 moa
I think he shoots 190gr bullets and is referring to charge as medium load.
Did some small upgrades and got a clip on. Hopefully get to go out one night next week! View attachment 6957666

Damn unless my chrono is way off I dunno?Running some numbers through QuickLoad app and it appears you're not even close to 2700 fps, but more like 2850 -2980 (may not be quite right in that COAL or seating depth is not known). That 42.6 gr of RL16 is at or over 100% case capacity and it's a pretty hot load. This would seem to explain what you're experiencing in that with 2700 rounds down the barrel, and so, I'd say your barrel is simply done and you need to get a new one to get back you accuracy. You might want to take it to a gunsmith to see if what I'm saying might be true.
Damn unless my chrono is way off I dunno?
Caldwell cheapo chronograph could be the culprit but I don't think I'm anywhere near those speeds.
It is a compressed load but I don't have pressure signs with the load.
Another interesting thing is in my 24" mpa barrel I'm running 41.6 of rl 16 and I'm about 2760fps, again according to my chrono.
My ruger barrel is Def shot out I'll. Post some pics of the bore shortly.
I need to get that app, Ididnt realize the rpr load was so hot lol. I figured I had a super slow barrel but maybe my chrono is way off..Hmmm, could be the Chrono . . .???
BTW, I see I had a typo in the velocity range I wrote. The upper end I meant was supposed to be 2880 fps. . . not 2980. And note that QuickLoad was showing pressure just under 60,000 psi. So at that pressure, I too don't often see pressure signs in my .308 hot loads either (though I seldom load them that way). . . . but it IS "hot".
But on the other hand, its a 3 shot group.
Just got done scrubbin the shit outta my barrel. Here are some pics of what the stock 6.5 creedmoor barrel looks like after 3k+ rounds.
Still shoots an inch @ 100 despite the throat being totally burnt out LOL
Has anyone heard of a premium barrel manufacturer (e.g. bartlein, kreiger, etc,) that's making barrels for the RPR Magnum version?
Krieger has barrels for the .300 win magIs anybody making prefit barrels for the new 300 win mag and 338 Lapua??
