Ruger quality is in the toilet. They have had layoffs and stopped their retirement plan. Unhappy workers do not care what they shove out the door and all the beancounters care about is the bottom line not customer satisfaction. I wouldn't buy any Ruger built in the last 5 years let alone a new product. Their last big fail was the redesigned (to make the parts cheaper and easier to mfg) Red Label shotgun. Lasted about six months before they pulled it from the catalog.

I saw it... I'm not gona lie, its pretty tempting and looks like a good value. Ive had excellent luck with their Ruger American with my hand loads... shoots VERY well.
That LOOKS like a lot of rifle for $1000, but for the same price you can also get a Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision in 243, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 260... I wouldn't be surprised if the 12 LRP is a better rifle, but Ruger has put together a temping package... I'm sure this will tempt the "I want a chassis on my bolt action" crowd into their camp. Someone at Ruger is listening and doing their market research... I'm happy to see them offer it in calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor and 243 with the faster twists. AICS mag compatible... Remington came out with a factory 260 I think, but its a light barrel and I don't think the twist was good for heavies. |

Ruger American ~$400 (Entry level rifle)
Chassis system stock ~$400 Bottom Metal for mags ~$200 2 10rd Mags -$40 Crazy Multi-Adjustable Stock ~$150 (and more!) You're at $1,200 already, and don't necessarily have a threaded heavy barrel (which this comes with). It would really need to be terribly made, and shoot like crap to not be a decent value.

Why do they always spell "Creedmore" instead of "Creedmoor". The only 6.5 name variation that I am aware of is the 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Grenade are the same.
As Toast says, precision and Ruger is an oxymoron. I'd like to get a folding stock for my Lapua action, but the way the rifle is designed, I could, but the piece would cost me $3,000, so I just suck it up and haul it around, squeezing it to fit an XL drag back. The folding stock is a nice feature once you go to 30" barrels and longer, but most of them do not have a strong enough hinge for my liking. |

http://www.ruger.com/micros/rpr/models.html
http://www.ruger.com/news/2015-07-17.html The Ruger Precision Rifle incorporates an in-line recoil path directly from the rear of the receiver to the buttstock, eliminating the need for traditional bedding or a "chassis" system, and provides maximum accuracy potential by simplifying the rifle's response to recoil. The Ruger® Precision MSR stock is adjustable for length of pull and comb height, offering a proper fit over a wide range of shooter sizes, outerwear, and shooting positions. While easily adjusted, the length of pull and comb height changes lock solidly in place and will not move while firing. The stock also features multiple QD sling attachment points, a bottom Picatinny rail for monopod attachment, and a soft rubber buttpad. The left-folding stock hinge (which provides access to the bolt) is attached to an AR-style buffer tube and accepts AR-style stocks. Crap. I might just have to buy one to play around with. -- Michael |

Cool but is it accurate?
I once asked Ruger customer service what sort of accuracy I should expect from an 18" gunsite scout. I did mention most of the reviews found online where not all that impressive. The response was all Ruger rifles are factory tested to be under 1" MOA @ 50 yards! So 2" at 200, Not exactly precision, especially for a 308. If my .22 CZ shot that poorly I'd be a sad sad man. |

If you want a flat shooter out to a 1000 yards, go with the 6.5 creedmoor. Also, for those under a very tight budget, ruger has the Predator chambered in 6.5 for approx. $400-$500. Then you can get some really nice glass to go with it. http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/1000...ican-predator/ |

Well...at least they got the rifling right for the .243 (1:7.7).

Darn it, I just bought a 243 Remington 700 varmint, an AI stock and Jewell trigger. I paid more for the stock than what the Ruger costs and it's still a Rem varmint with the wrong twist!

Looks cool. Reminds me of the MDT chassis which also follows AR styling and uses AR furniture.
People might **** on this for being too much like an AR but for someone who already has lots of spare AR parts, this might be an even more attractive buy. |

Will it be CA friendly? I think it will meet the 30" length requirement folded. But isn't a bullet button or grip-wrap needed?

At twice the price they (Ruger Precision and MVP) really aren't comparable anyway.

Why did Ruger decide to put a 20" barrel on the 308 instead of a 24"? Although the difference in bullet velocity between a 20" and 24" barrel is not enormous, it seems to me that the higher bullet velocity of 24" barrel would be better for a rifle marketed as a "precision" rifle that will be used for target shooting.
