I couldn't resist this rifle last fall in Montana at a LGS NIB for $900.00. I had read a lot about the Ruger Precision Rifle and decided to give it a try, as I didn't have a 6.5 Creedmoor. For the money it is a excellent rifle and the quality is better than most Rugers. Finally got the components together to start load development. Conditions at the range were not ideal for load development (windy 7-10 mph and rainy), but a bad day at the range is still a good day. It looks like the rifle will easily shoot sub MOA when I finish the load development. The next steps will be to load around the nodes indicated on the targets and play with the bullet seating.   |

I exceeded the attachment allowance.  Jeff if you see this post, I'm still waiting on a answer for the new barrel for my 6BR |

Nice rig. I bought one last month in .308 and it's one of the better production guns out right now. That scope on your rifle is one of my all time favorites.

Awesome! What is the app you are using to get the read out of group sizes? Jay, Thanks The app I use is "On Target Precision Calculator". The link for the website is: www.ontargetshooting.com/ It is $11.99 for a perpetual license. (15 day Free Trial) There is also a freeware version available with less functionality. Stan |

I plan to use it to hunt coyotes and varmints, I chose that scope for the lower power as well as to keep the weight down on the rifle. I will take it to Wyoming in June on my annual PD trip. |
