Samuel_HoggsonHave 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.

Big Bore FanI 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.
