I wish I had cum across the price you posted very niceI'm not needing a new barrel yet and my RPR stock barrel shoots lights out....going by barrel life range I'm about half way through it's life. Quite frankly I'm considering picking up another stock take off barrel this one shoots so well, but also considering Proof. Anyone have groups/ammo with Proof Stainless they want to share I'd love to hear. Thanks

I replaced mine after the first outing. The OEM stocks do suck ass. I replaced mine with a Magpul PRS Gen3. Sold the original one for 125 shipped to a forum member here. So basically paid 75 for the PRS.Guys, I have 3 RPR, 6.5 Cd, .308 and a .17 HMR. I do enjoy shooting them all, BUT I hate the stocks And the bolt shroud!!! Any input on where to buy decent stocks and what to get. Thanks !
How did you find someone that wanted a spare stock WoW that would be the only way I would replace mine. I have found as long as you are the only person shooting the guy once it is adjusted it is ok.I replaced mine after the first outing. The OEM stocks do suck ass. I replaced mine with a Magpul PRS Gen3. Sold the original one for 125 shipped to a forum member here. So basically paid 75 for the PRS.
I just listed it. People like them. They are universal on any AR platform. Instead of sinking 200 plus dollars on a PRS, they took mine. I just didn't like the adjustments. Felt very gritty and would loosen up the whole time I was out there. Spent as much time fucking with the stock as I did shooting.
Quite honestly I see nothing wrong with the stock. More than satisfied with mine. The only reason I changed out the 338LM stock was because I could. Just trying out something different, if I don't like it I'll put it on an AR. It may not have that "KOOL" factor but it does exactly what it was designed for. Ruger designed it well, extremely usable, or easily changed, an owners wet dream.
I feel the same way about the Ruger trigger. On the non magnums that is. Nice trigger, easily adjustable. But I feel the magnum should be able to be adjusted down lower than 2.5#. I really like my 6.5CM but I feel Ruger made a mistake when they made the magnum lower limit only 2.5#. It's a precision rifle, not a hunter, you should be able to get the trigger lower for target shooting. That's the only reason I changed the trigger. Excellent trigger on the non mags.
Just remember, every time they change/upgrade something, this increases the price which really defeats the whole purpose of this rifle.
The magpul stocks are nice. Also you can use stocks from here: https://www.luth-ar.com/ or from Seekins: https://www.seekinsprecision.com/product/pro-composites.html or basically just about any stock that fits the AR15 platform. Also if you've got some extra cash this is a very nice stock: and at least a couple of places you can look for a new bolt shroud: https://www.longriflesinc.com/colle...t-replacement-billet-al-ruger-rpr-bolt-shroud and here: https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/ruger-precision-rifle-bolt-shroud-replacement/ They also have fluted ones too.Guys, I have 3 RPR, 6.5 Cd, .308 and a .17 HMR.

Guys, my .243 RPR is going to need a new barrel soon. Trying to decide if I should stay .243 or go to 6.5. Obviously got the goods for the .243, and would have to get the dies and such for the 6.5. I know it is my choice, but wanted to get your thoughts on what you would do. I am mainly shooting 600 yds or less, but occasionally get an opportunity to reach out to 1,000. So, should I stay .243 or go 6.5?
Hey that paint looks very nice. I’m thinking about doing something similar to my RPR. Would you mind sharing how you did that?Here's how mine sits now.
RPR
27" 7mm-08 barrel from preferred barrel blanks
Timney flat trigger set at 1.5lbs
Magpul Gen3 PRS
Tuxedo Grip from anarachy
Stock bolt
AAC Brake for my can

While I absolutely love both my 6.5CM and my 338, one problem I've encountered with the 338 is the variance in size of the mags/receiver. I only received one magazine with mine when I got it, and it's always been a bitch to insert/remove from the receiver. I figured it was an excess of coating and it would probably wear in. Never did. I ordered another mag so I'd have an extra and it fit great. Almost a drop free fit. I measured the two mags and the original was right at .030" wider in the body at the feed lips. No wonder it was so tight! I emailed Ruger and they said send it back and they'd give me a replacement.
A buddy has the 338 RPR too and we were out shooting together Monday. His mag dropped free from his so just for the hell of it I took a caliper and measured his. His measured just like my original (thicker) magazine. His wouldn't hardly fit in my gun either. My thinner mag which is what I'm using now was almost too loose in his receiver, almost rattled around. First off, I feel that's too much difference in magazine dimensions. Can't say that I've measured any other magazines for size variance but I think they should be closer to the same size. But also, apparently because the receiver is 2 piece and bolted together, it allows some variance in width dimensions also.
Had the original mag packaged up to send back but now I don't know what to do. If I get another packaged magazine that's the same size I've still got the same problem. So before I waste my time I guess I'll call Ruger and see what they say.
Have any other magnum owners out there had an issue with their mags??
Hey that paint looks very nice. I’m thinking about doing something similar to my RPR. Would you mind sharing how you did that?
Im building my first RPR in .308, it’s a gen 2 i believe with the aluminum bolt shroud. So far I went with an a2 extension tube with a magpul prs gen 3, magpul miad grip, Seekins precision Sp3r v3 mlok 15” rail, vortex viper pst gen1 4-16x50 ffp scope in a vortex pro extended cantilever mount. I’m going to add an ambi safety, a level and a switch view throw lever for the scope zoom. I’m probably going to stay with a Harris bipod since I have a few around, but I like the idea of a mlok bipod that mounts to the 3 and 9 locations. I like the trigger so I’m not planning a trigger swap. I am going to duracoat it at some point after I get a couple other rifles to paint all at once.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I know most things are user preference.
I’m not a reloader, I have a nice supply of federal gmm 168s though.Ammo.
Lots of ammo.
Bolt Bushing Service
***Turns running 4 weeks*** Are you having issues with primer crating??? Bolt bushing will solve your problems. Cratering is caused when you have a firing pin poorly fitted to its pin hole, the larger diameter of the pin hole also contributes to this condition. By installing a bushing with the...adarmscustomrifles.com
I had my bolt done there and he does great work!! Recommend him for all his parts and machine work!!Have you used this company for this work and if so what the turn around time?

Ruger RPR bolt and if I remember it was like 7-10 days.Also what brand bolt?
Ruger RPR bolt and if I remember it was like 7-10 days.
Fixed mine, I also had him flute my bolt and micro slick it and true my bolt. I love it, makes for easier bolt travel. If he trues your bolt you need to recheck the headspace. I took it to my gun smith to check headspace which he did but said that the Ruger RPR really did not need to have the headspace checked as the bolts due not have enough removed to need re-headspaced.Thanks very much, I will get in contact with them for infor. So the bushing stop the crating .

Anyone using a aftermarket 6.5 barrel shooting factory federal 130’s or Prime? What did you go with and how has it been shooting? Thanks
Not sure if you reload but once I switched to magnum primers (cci 450) my cratering issues went away. Shooting 6mm creedmoorI am getting some primer crating. I have been told that I need to firing pin bushed. Where can I get this done with a short turn around time?
