I got to shoot mine over the weekend in Missouri. First time shooting it since the new scope.
Shooting Winchester 140 grain match I was able to squeeze out a 5 shot group covered by this quarter which I had used as a target previously.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Can anyone tell me if the RPR in 6.5 PRC is the same frame as the RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor/308? I realize the barrel and bolt would have to be different, but I am having a hard time determining if they are otherwise the same rifle as far as swapping barrel/bolt, headspacing, and running with it (no problem going to 308 Pmags). Based on the weight of the different models, the 6.5 PRC and 6.5 Creedmoor rifles seem to be VERY close whereas the magnum RPRs (338 Lapua Magnum, 300 Win Mag, 300 PRC) are significantly heavier and appear beefier. I am guessing Ruger did not create an in-between size between the short action and magnums just for the 6.5 PRC, but I've been wrong before. I will be sending Ruger an email as well but thought I would ask here as well. Thanks for any help!

Honestly, except for the bolt and barrel they look like the same receiver to me... However the bolt from the 6.5 PRC will not slide into the 6.5 Creedmoor.  Attached File |

I was afraid there might be something I wasn't seeing that would preclude my going back to 6.5 Creedmoor from 6.5 PRC (haven't bought it yet) aside from barrel and bolt. I have a couple 6.5 CMs and no RPRs, so I was thinking about picking up a RPR in 6.5 PRC to give that cartridge a whirl. If there are dimensional differences between the two receivers, however, that obviously won't be happening. |

Went to the range today and with my last mag made 3 of 5 hits on a 3MOA plate at 1,000 yards with the 308 RPR, first time I've tried to push out to that distance (previous longest was 550yds).
Pretty capable rifle.

Question for anyone with a gen1 308 with the 20" barrel. What rounds are you loading that have enough umph for 1000? FGMM 168 is not cutting it past 600 and FGMM 175 is not the greatest at 1k either. It seems that I may have got stuck with a slow barrel comparing the box to chrono (about 200-225 FPS under Federal's Data) in addition to the length not helping either.

185 Berger will do it from a 20 in AR10 at only 2500 FPS, and they can be pushed a lot harder, especially in a bolt gun, so that’s what you need to find for yours.

Can someone suggesst a good set or rings or one piece mount for mounting an Athlon BTR to a latest gen 6.5 creedmore rpr? The Athlon BTR has a 34mm tube and 56mm objective. I'm looking for very good value but do not want rings that are inferior in fit. I would also think that I need a 20 moa or similar cant. Do I need a one piece mount to get the cant?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rssc: Thanks for the info. It's good to know about the built in 20 moa cant. Does anyone have a recommendation as far as what height rings to get? For the RPR, you're gonna want somewhere in the 1.40 to 1.50 range (typically AR height). I believe Seekins are 1.45 and ARCs are 1.42 (1.57 for their M10 mount). Some people go lower, but that depends on what will fit you and what you find comfortable. I believe that some people use 1.26 Seekins rings for their RPRs, but that would probably be too low for some people. Great thing about the RPR? It has an adjustable cheek piece. Remember that you can always raise the cheek riser to where you need it, but you can only go so low. |

Anyone put a 26 or 28 inch barrel, 308, on there RPR? Still have a hard on for a RPR but dam, 20 inch barrel sucks. Had a RPR in 338 and it was sweet. Back issues caused me to sell it. Am considering a gen III if I do get one. Am also looking at the 300 PRC but not sure on it though.

I do reload. My savage 308 with a 24 inch barrel shoots great out to 1000 yards. I do load it pretty hot. Just considering a RPR since the last one I owned in 338 was a fantastic rifle. Would at least rebarrel with a 24 inch.

What size buffer tube do I need to install in the rifle for the PRS install. I have looked at a few videos and talked to a couple local shops. Is it the A2 tube? (M-16 style/Mil-Spec) ? Thanks in advance. |

So I haven't kept up with this thread since swapping out my RPR, but the cop who owns it now was having issues and inconsistency doping it.
So he took it to a gunsmith, who borescoped it. Here's one of the pics. I'm not sure what part of the barrel this is but apparently the bore and chamber both had serious erosion.  Attached File it looks like those cheap dumbbells with the bad casting inconsistencies. Fortunately Ruger has replaced the barrel at this point and he's back to using it as a duty rifle. I bought it brand new and put less than 60rds through it, all factory brass Federal and Winchester. Has anyone seen anything like this? After seeing the pics I'm pretty confident that it's nothing I could have done. |
