Ruger just announced a major update to the popular Precision Rifle platform. The company took feedback from the precision rifle shooting community, taking advice from high-level competition shooters, to improve the system.
Ruger Precision Rifle Update
The new configuration comes in three popular competition calibers – 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester. It also chambers three magnum calibers – .300 Win. Mag., .300 PRC and .338 Lapua Magnum.
“We focused on combining the RPR’s reliability and precision with more adjustability to fit every shooter,” said Doug Koenig, Team Ruger Captain and winner of the Production Division of the 2024 Hornady Precision Rifle Challenge. “Knowing I can fine-tune my rifle to fit my exact needs means I head into every match with confidence. This rifle is designed to support competitive shooters at the highest level.”
Koenig worked closely with Ruger engineers to make meaningful, competition-ready upgrades. The new buttstock allows for easy, intuitive and secure adjustment to conform to any shooter or style. The buttstock is adjustable for length-of-pull; cheek rest height and horizontal position; and buttpad height. For consumers who already own a Ruger Precision Rifle, the new buttstock is separately available for purchase on ShopRuger.com.
The new platform includes a heavy contour, cold hammer-forged barrel and improved muzzle brake. It also comes with a Magpul MOE-K2 vertical pistol grip and black DLC-coated bolt. An aluminum handguard comes with M-Lok slots for accessories. It also features an ACRA rail machined into the underside. The magazine well, handguard and stock body sport a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish.
Additionally, a Ruger Custom Shop offers a model chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor or 6mm GT. Custom Shop rifles feature: an adjustable TriggerTech Two-Stage Trigger delivering an exceptionally crisp break, minimal overtravel and an extremely short reset; a stainless steel, heavy contour barrel with installed muzzle brake to aid in felt recoil reduction; a barricade stop on the front of the magazine well to provide a steady rest when shooting off of obstacles; and a gray Cerakote coating on the magazine well, handguard, and stock body.
