I think it’s much better than the factoryI have a Timney and I am not impressed.
It is not $240 better.I think it’s much better than the factory
I think it is. Mine made all the difference.It is not $240 better.
I’d never play that. I paid $156.51 from AO. Regardless my factory trigger was not to my liking and the Timney fit the billIt is not $240 better.
$240 is what is listed on Timney's site. I did not pay that either. Either way I am not impressed with the Timney I bought. Hopefully there is another option.I’d never play that. I paid $156.51 from AO. Regardless my factory trigger was not to my liking and the Timney fit the bill
For those of you that are having LOP issues with the Magpul PRS Gen3 stock, you can trim one of the adapters. You can see here where I fitted one to a .300 PRC. It now wears a black one and I painted that adapter black to match.
I found the solution doing internet searches. I did some very careful measuring. Due to the tube bottoming out inside the stock you can only go
so far. A shorter tube (or the end moved towards the receiver) would allow a better fit. Eventually I might try that. Basically you bottom the stock out on the buffer tube, back it off say 1/16" of an inch (or put a 1/16" or whatever) spacer on the end of the tube) then get the measurements that are needed to cut the adapter to.
I used a small Dremel cut off wheel and then filed to fit. Giving some clearance gives you some wiggle room if you are not 100 percent on the adapter. Once I started fitting it, I used a black marker or something so when it touched I could see the high spots to file until I got contact all
around.
I tried to tell Magpul that they could make an adapter for the RPR but "we don't do custom work", "it wasn't invented here" blah blah blah blah blah.
The next project is to make a pattern and cut and mold a better cheekpiece overlay for the 2 other RPR's I have acquired out of Kydex. If it works out I will try and remember to post up a picture of the pattern (with dimensions of course) and the finished project.

I wonder what the street price will be. Any release date info?Ruger Custom Shop RPR 6mm Creedmoor Model #18085
I don't think this has been mentioned yet.
Most interesting parts to me are:
I wonder what the street price will be. Any release date info?
Could be a great production class rifle. Probably around 1300 somewhere is my guessI wonder what the street price will be. Any release date info?
If it’s 1300 that’s a slam dunk. Fingers crossed. $1,900-2000 range starts making the GAP PPR look like a better option...Could be a great production class rifle. Probably around 1300 somewhere is my guess
I bought my gen 2 6.5 for $1050 brand new 3.5 years ago. Maybe $1300 was a little to kind to assume especially during these times right now and I didn’t really read all the stuff they added to it. $1700-1900 is probably a better estimate especially with another companies trigger and the factory stainless barrel coming from Rugers custom shopIf it’s 1300 that’s a slam dunk. Fingers crossed. $1,900-2000 range starts making the GAP PPR look like a better option...
The retail went up overnight about a year ago I am glad I got mine before that from AO and they even hooked me up on a open box one from shot show for a awesome $$240 is what is listed on Timney's site. I did not pay that either. Either way I am not impressed with the Timney I bought. Hopefully there is another option.
Hello everybody,
Hope i dont mess it up, i am from Germany and new on this website
I have a RPR since one year now and its almost perfect, when i tested it i shot a .5 moa group with 5 shots on 100 meters using only a bipod siting at a table
Ammo was factory 308, winchester ballistic silvertip 150 gr since i use it till now mainly for hunting
I only got one problem with the gun, maybe somebody can help, when reloading from the mag the bullets jam up in the "lands"?? when the ass still sits in the mag, has somebody had this Problem and maybe a solution?
Greetings to you all and i hope my english is not too bad :/
Sry didnt mention yet, if the answer was posted already, i have read the first 20 of 100 pages but it is very much information to pick up in here

I also had that problem if I tried to load a single round, you can't single load with the stock mags. I now use ARC mags (American Rifle Company) mags so I can single load plus they are better mags.
I run supressor on my 308 rpr and i dont even think of shooting without it anymoreHello!
Just picked up a RPR in 300 win mag. My wife owns a savage ba110 (pictured) she has had for 12-13 years so we have all the stuff to reload for it already which is why I went with this caliber. I wanted a RPR for 4 years and of course I wait until they go up in price, because I guess when there is a shortage that is when I decide its a priority.
I picked up this vortex scope as it was cheap and 34mm (military discount). I really liked the FFP and the reticle. I have some vortex PMR 1.45 height rings on the way too.
Note: We plink for fun. My reloading is not atomic accurate but it is safe, and I dont shoot a lot. Id say the savage has probably has 600-700 rounds through it in all those years nearly all of those were reloads.
Our range is 600 yards max, and Im not real proficient. I practice with a lot of 150g bullets as I shoot 300bo and 308 as well. I do plan to increase my skills and have picked up some new brass and heavier bullets. Im open to comments on my choices.
Question:
Anyone run a suppressor? I have some NFA items already so I know the process. I think it is a good candidate for a suppressor given how loud the savage is and people comment at the range. Curious if it is effective on this gun and if there are any suggestions. I know a suppressor contradicts "for fun" but really it is practical to reduce the noise. Im thinking a 30 cal supressor I could use on my 300bo, 308, and 300Wm would be ideal if thats possible.

I rarely shoot from full mags, almost never. I made a single shot "sled" from 3/4" PVC pipe. Works like a charm.I have that problem if I try to single load with a mag inserted (empty mag and just try to lay a round on top and feed it with the bolt) but never when feeding from the mag. I use Magpul AICS mags in my RPR.
anyone install a swept bolt handle with a round knob? I’m trying to mimmic the bolt handle on my AIAX. I was looking at the glades armory handle but I’ve read several reviews stating they are an unreliable company to order from. If you have such a thing, throw up some pics!
page 100
I purchased one a couple years ago, installed it for a few cycles, then went back to my regular handle. I thought it would mimic my AI bolt handle but it didn't even come close...the curve is way off and the ball is too large. I always meant to use some heat to change the curve and find a smaller ball, but have never gotten around to it. However, getting the swept handle with a ball knob from Anarchy Outdoors for my Bergara B14R has made me want to get back to it. (The ball knob from AO is smaller and feels great). I think I'll get another ball knob from AO and give it a go. The only other change besides the curve is that I'll have to cut a little off the threaded shank on the glades handle since the AO ball won't thread all the way on currently.

Tab Gear rear bag. Small or large depending on your build. Heavy fillWhat's a good rear bag for shooting off a bench? I was looking at Armageddon Gear's Brick rear bag but not sure which one to get. Not interested in a slider set up yet, maybe down the road. Just looking for what others are using.

No problem. Trust me I have 6 bags in my closet I don’t use. Tab gear is the only one that is consistent for me for a rear bag.Thanks Hardpan those look good. I appreciate all 100 pages of RPR posts. Super helpful if not detrimental to my savings account!

The aw pmag’s that came with the rifle don’t feed that well, I’ve had similar issues. I like others here will suggest buying a couple AICS mags. Its all I use now.
Welcome to the group!
My 300 PRC barrel sucked. It shot really well but the chamber was shaped like an egg and I couldn't get fired brass back into the chamber or get the fired brass through my sizing die. I called Ruger. They told me to pound sand. As long as the rifle shot factory rounds they were okay with it. Reloads are no go with Ruger. I put a Krieger drop in barrel on it. It shot really well and sizing was a breeze. Then my firing pin assembly came un-cocked after firing a round. I had to cut the shroud off of the bolt in order to get it re-cocked. Currently shooting the rifle without the shroud and about every 30-40 rounds the firing pin assembly comes un-cocked when lifting the bolt on a fired case. Others over on the Ruger forum have had the same problem. No solution so far.
Is this issue some of you are having with the firing pins/bolts related to the Safety Bulletin Ruger has on the rifles ?

Are you going to sell these?I extended the cheek piece with some Kydex. The 2nd one worked out better, eventually I will make a good mold and recast the first but it is very usable as is. Extending the length 1 1/4" ish sure changed the feel. We got a little curl on the first one, there was a learning curve for working with the Kydex and heating it with a heat gun.
I wanted to try this before investing in another or 2 Magpul PRS Gen3 stocks. It was a success.
The extension is held on with 2-sided tape.
