Ya, good call. It is a private club, I have a few fairly close plus lucky to have lots of BLM... go figure California too..
Well it looks like your Avatar is one of the other Private/semi-private range about 15 min away You're on the 1K line, (guessing from the tiny image).. small world sometimes.I know that range. I wish more applications would open up to become a member.

BTH they are running a ultra low key NRL22 semi monthly at Avenal ... I bought my son the RPR Rim but went nuts and now waiting for a Voodoo.. Hell, because the RPR is lighter I am sure I will actually shoot much worse with the high dollar full weight one.

Yes sir! The world is very small. 1 hour after I took that pic you could see the numbers.
Are they running both NRL22 classes or just the open class? I think the RPR is a great platform for whatever you plan to do with it. I bought it as a trainer personally. As you probably know that it is night and day between a factory and custom action, price wise too. I think the RPR with the right ammo could compete.
Just Avenal. Both classes, it is just how or "if" you submit your score, but the match is the same. Like I mentioned, personally I am sure I will shoot the heavier 5x more expensive 22 worse, especially in any off hand stage.
Ran some Eley through it this weekend, Club, match and Subsonic, all shot over 1/2".
So far Federal gold medal ultra match and match are the clear winners
Mine has been really consistent with Eley Club. 5 at 50 and can put another 5 right on top of it.

Where’s that 10 shot group you showed me on FB? That was really nice bro!
BG, what glass are you running on it?Mine has been really consistent with Eley Club. 5 at 50 and can put another 5 right on top of it.

Looks great man. Thanks for the reply. I like the ARCA rail!
mine was filthy, gunk, grit and copper fouling.So I picked up one last weekend and I took it apart last night to clean. The bore seemed to be very dirty out of the box? Maybe a oil type coating to prevent corrosion pre-sale? Anyone else notice this.
I did a complete disassembly, cleaning and reassembly including removing the scope rail cleaning all the oil underneath and reinstalling and torquing using blue loctite. I also flushed the trigger group and bolt out with charcoal lighter fluid and relubed it appropriately per the manual, there was a lot of manufacturing debris in both, mostly metal shavings.So I picked up one last weekend and I took it apart last night to clean.

What Bore guide is everyone using with these rifles? My universal one is too big and it is new enough that Sinclair does not seem to have one yet?
This is the 10 shot, which is the 5 above with another five on top of it. View attachment 6880997
Then 5 at 100...View attachment 6880998

I went over to my buddys and tried a bunch of bore guides he has for various .22 bolt guns. An H&R CMP M12 worked but we had to remove a little material to clearance the tang on the left of the action and some from the bottom to clear the trigger.
here is the guide we modified..

Also I got it to the indoor range and ran some ammo through it. Wolf Match was the best but I still have some more testting to do.. So Far it is well worth the modest cost..

Very nice! haven't seen Wolf ammo in my neck of the woods. What brand of cleaning rod are you using and what length?
Just got my RPRf last week and after giving it a thorough cleaning, adjusting the trigger same as my RPR .308 and mounting a scope, I took it out to get the barrel broken in and put 150 rounds through it. Accuracy came around and is looking good. Will give the barrel a good cleaning and see how it'll group with various ammo.
I did have one disappointment in that I removed the back bolt clip to get a longer action when loading a round into the chamber to simulate that action of my RPR. But the ejector what not ejected the spent cartridge very well and often with stay in the chamber and also slip down behind the mag where I had to turn the rifle upside down to get it out. Someone said this was an issued with the 15 round mag that comes with the rifle and putting in some other of Ruger's mags would relieve that problem. So, I tried that and still had the same problem, just not as often. The ejector doesn't seem to be stuck or sticking in any way. But maybe the ejector spring is a little too stiff (I'm just guess . . . I don't know)??? For now, I'm going to put that clip on the bolt and give Ruger a call to see what they think is going on with the ejector.
Look at the bolt face. The black metal flexibe clip(cartridge positioner spring part#29)opposite of the extractor is the cause of your occasional round not ejecting. Bend it in towards the center of the boltface. It will launch casings after doing that! I had same problem. I can now even run the bolt really slow and it functions well. Before I always had to run the bolt fast to get efficient ejection.Just got my RPRf last week and after giving it a thorough cleaning, adjusting the trigger same as my RPR .308 and mounting a scope, I took it out to get the barrel broken in and put 150 rounds through it.

Pull a bullet out of the 22case dump the powder and hand load the empty casings into the chamber. That's how i did it when determining how much more i needed to bend that clip. Glad it worked for you.THANKS much! Did it and it seems to have helped . . . with live rounds anyway. Will see how it goes next range visit.
WARNING! That long groove that's machined down the left side of the bolt has razor sharp (NO exaggeration) edges on both sides and the full length of that groove. I just sliced my thumb on it, to my surprise. So, I took my jeweler's file and run it along those edges to dull them and now it's no longer a risk and the bolt still slides just fine.

Right now I am using my Dewey .22 30" I believe. it is a bit short but works. I ordered a 32" Dewey in .20cal, 32" might still be a little short to keep from hitting the riser. I figure the .20cal rod will give a little more room going in..
I bought the Wolf at Perry a few years back. shoots pretty good and supposedly the brass is lapua..
Is the rod too short with or without the rod guide? I don’t plan on using a rod guide for this rifle.
it is not the rod guide it is the stock that causes the issues. You have put pressure up on the rod to clear the buttstock..

Hey let me know how that .20 diameter rod works out. I’m leaning towards that same exact rod. I already have j dewey rods for my .308 and my 6.5.
Nice group. What was the range for that test? 25y, 50y or 100y or something else. Was it indoors, outdoor? What was the wind and ambient conditions? It would help everyone interested to know the distance & conditions you were shooting from please. Also, for comparison, how about the others in the test? \\IrishGot my new Ruge Precision RF toy about 3 weeks ago and last week I put about 150 rounds through it to get it broken in a little. Today, I ran various brands of ammo through it shooting only 10 rounds for each to just see how they might print on the paper. None of them were really match grade, though a couple did say they were (e.g. Winchester Super-X Match, Federal Hunter Match) , but those never performed well in any of my .22's. As expected though, Center-X did do really well.
