Have a .308, a friend has both .308 and .243. His .243 did sub-1" for 5 at 240 yds even with his rings being way too low for my head, and was using low-price range factory 100 gr ammo. My .308 is in the 0.75 MOA range, but it wears a fixed 10X.

Triggers are very decent two-stage. No mechanical issues thus far. Barrel does not seem to copper up much.

Most reviews have been fairly positive. Reviews of the 6.5 have been very much so. I think they are pretty good values I pd an even $1k for mine. Don't like much Ruger stuff, but the RPR is an exception. They have issued a "new" "updated" model with "improvements". I call BS on that last term - they discovered they cannot make RPRs fast enough for demand, so are trying to up the profit margin.

Glad you guys are having success with Rugers. I had a few 77s, 22/77s and four #1s. My experience is that Ruger and precision don't belong in the same sentence.
Hope they continue to perform for you.

Build a very good selling product and then match price to demand. The American Way. Thank God for Freedom to Succeed.

I have my Creedmoor RPR since three weeks. Loaded ammo only with my Dillon 650, without any woodoo.... Shoot groups with a cheap Leupold VX-I 3x12 about ~20mm @ 100m. It´s about 0,7MOA. A buddy have the RPR a little bit longer, shoots ~60mm groups @ 300m. Best group was unter 0,5MOA.
Last week, at Thusday he killed a red stack at 330m, with the excellent Nosler ballistic tip bullet, without escape.

That is good shooting... and a good rifle. Thanks for posting and for the load information. I may make this a winter project.
