#10MinuteTalk

Modestly priced, the Ruger RPR’s performance is anything but. In fact, it’s a standout. There was a time at Vortex when it seemed a new RPR would show up daily. The accuracy, performance and price were simply too good not to own one. Mark Boardman, Jimmy Hamilton, and Ryan Muckenhirn chat through this anomaly in the firearm space and why it’s so dang good.

I made the mistake of shooting my $1000 RPR side by side with my $4000 custom. Using the same factory ammo in both, the RPR printed the smallest group that day.

[@sealove79able]

you so lucky Mr.Over here the .308RPR is 3x more expensive than in the USA.And we have got recently the total gun sales ban.The 2A is a great thing.

[@csmith1]

Lol oh no

[@seanstratton3231]

@sealove79able We are lucky having the 2A for sure. But believe me, the US government is chipping away at it little by little. Disarming the people seems to be a worldwide trend.

[@MrOchiman007]

I don't have a custom action, I know custom actions are nicer because of how smooth the action is but but then my RPR 6.5prc shoots half an inch always and thus can't justify building a custom rifle. I do have a 7prc in ruger american go wild that I dropped in an mdt and it shoots the same. Ruger makes shooter.

[@sealove79able]

thank you.@@MrOchiman007

[@angusmotorsports4715]

I walked out of the store with an RPR in 6,5CM + 5-25 PST Gen II for $2500 and I was shooting < 1/2 MOA with factory ammo and hitting steel out to 1000yds. All my buddies that have never shot steel at range call it "cheating" the first time behind it. Thank you Ruger for bringing us the RPR and pissing off the Gucci Gun fanbois.

[@ronws2007]

Amen twin brother from another mother. I was in a thread in a forum and royally teed off some gucci bougies. I shared a pic of my TC Compass II in .308 shooting what looked like a 1/2" spread. Factory synthetic stock with 150 gr, which turned to be light and not the best for that gun (165 gr worked better.) Right out of the box, Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24X50 FFP on it (later changed to a Vortex Venom.) So, the other guy decides to call my gun garbage, my chosen cartridge garbage, and my optic garbage. He did a digital measured analysis. It was actually .54 inches apart. Understandable since I had used a Stanley tape measure and could certainly be off by .04 inches, which is not measurable without a caliper at the time. That is .51 MOA. Out of a 400 dollar rifle. So, I backed down and let them have the "win" of proving that my crap rifle and system were punching up and out of my "league." Any rifle is going to do better in a chassis because of the bedding. So, bravo to Ruger for figuring it out.

[@unkulwilly]

buddy of mine from work picked up a CZ 457 Varmint Precision 24" last summer. he was bragging how well his $1k 22lr rifle shot small groups at 50 yards. he kept begging me to bring my Ruger Precision 22lr to test both rifles side by side. using the same ammo my $400 Ruger shot the exact same group as his rifle. he was peeved to say the least.

[@jackjmaheriii]

In 2007 I bought a Weatherby in 30-06 that shot .8 MOA groups with hunting ammo, and when I told my friends they all said I was lying. Five years later sub MOA guns were a dime a dozen. All things considered, 2005 to 2015 might be one of best decades for firearms since reconstruction.

I have the RPR in 6mm Creedmoor. It was .5 moa after initial load development and would hold .5 out to 1000 yards when the wind cooperated and I did my part. After 2500-3000 rds groups opened up to .75 with pretty regular flyers. I replaced the barrel with a high end carbon fiber and initial load development yielded a solid .25 moa! I swapped the barrel myself- the first barrel I have ever removed or installed. I have shot many groups at 1000 sub .5 moa. Nuts right? Oh yeah, I paid $799 for it new

My son recently bought the RPR in 17 hmr and man it shoots and doesn't care what ammo you use shoots inch or just over at 100m reliably. Love it.

[@davidfrazier2272]

I bought one when they first came out, I couldn't find one in 6.5CR so I bought a .243 and ordered a stainless barrel at the same time from LRI, it was the first rifle gunsmithing I had ever done. It shoots .25 moa if I do my part, I still shoot it regularly.

[@nick3d155]

True story.. I went from casual 1911 carrying hobby shooter to FFL SOT selling adapter plates for Vortex to Canik at Panik Solutions and the RPR was a catalyst to meet people who were real shooters without the BS and the blind culture. One dedicated RPR/Vortex fan I met at that time is one of my best friends and now works at SilencerCo. These are not horribly uncommon tales in some small way. The influence of this rifle to the home rifleman cannot be over stated and gun an accessories makers should take note on the approach of inclusive pricing and engineering for EFFECTIVE (without significant functional quality sacrifice) cost savings.

[@JamesSmith-wh4xe]

There’s an encyclopedia in this statement. Ruger single-handedly changed what it means to be a rifleman at the beginning of the 21st century. I have no doubt this will be legendary.

[@andrewboore3899]

After doing the RPR now would be the perfect time to do an episode on the Ruger No.1

[@NotALlama397]

I've had the 17 hmr version for a year with the vortex vanquish scope , absolutely love it, everyone that I let shoot with it loves it. I just bought a 6.5 creedmoor and put a Viper pst on it, it's my first crack at long distance shooting and right out of the box I was amazed, I bought if for all the reasons you talked about, it just makes sense. Having the time on the 17 hmr really helped with the transition to the bigger caliber, I recommend them to everyone I know.

[@GB-zi6qr]

This not an RPR testament, but a rifle build testament. Having watched vids of "KZbinrs" shoot 1" or less with ARs, I wanted mine to do the same. I'd already embarrassed a equipment snob with my entry level AR but the best I can get with it is about 1.5" groups. So I built another one, for about $1k total. Yeah, a few lessons learned. However, now I do have an AR that can, for me, print 0.5" groups. While at the range, of course I meet several others practicing and such. I don't claim any profound talent behind a rifle and one gentleman demonstrated a great deal of knowledge and skill. We had talked, gave me some pointers and such. I, being happy with what I'd built, wondered "How well can it shoot?". So during a break to let barrels cool, I asked if he'd mind putting a few rounds down range with my rifle. He shot a 3 round clover leaf and said "It's a shooter!" In hind sight I think he was irritated because a home built AR was printing better than his more expensive bolt action. We never found the problem with his rifle, but I was printing the same size groups with his that he was. Take aways? Try not to assume anything. Don't forget common courtesy. Do your best to keep an open mind, you might learn something.

[@jrhunt414]

My first 6.5 creed was an original RPR with a Viper PST. I remember seeing all the ads and videos and drooling over it until a year later when I finally found one for sale.

[@AedanEriks]

How is your RPR? Im looking to getting into precision shooting for comp and want to get a 6.5 rifle to start with. Any Recommendations?

[@jrhunt414]

@@AedanEriks my RPR is awesome for a $1200 gun, not sure I would pay current prices for one. I would probably get 6.5 PRC instead of the creedmoor. I would probably get a higher magnification scope too. The gun is so heavy and handles recoil very well. I tried to hunt with it but it’s just too heavy. Definitely belongs on a tripod, bipod, or bench.

[@slugfest100]

When it comes to the RPR everything good you said about this rifle on your show I'm in complete agreement with. I've had mine for several years now and the rifle never ceases to amaze me. I tried a fair number of handloads to see what worked best and I'd have to say they all worked great, some just a bit better. I settled on the 140 gr. ELD and I have several 100 yard targets hanging in my shop showing five shots through the same hole. I'm not into long distance shooting as a sport but while varmint shooting I have no trouble making 400+ yard shots without a problem. For glass I have a Vortex Viper 6-24x50 MRAD and that has turned out to be an excellent choice for this rifle. Great rifle, great scope.

[@rmbettac]

Great rifle, really played a part in the explosion of long distance shooting sports. An undeniable turning point offering timed right as 6.5 Creedmoor was blowing up. And yes the Ruger American Predator is so cheap and such a good shooter. We’re in salad days.

[@keithlangmead4098]

Got the RPR in both 6.5CM and .22LR and love them, with a Vortex Venum on both of them. Only managed to shoot the 6.5 at 900yds so far, but shooting the .22LR at 300yds was a fun (but successful) challenge. Would be nice if the .22L had the same style stock as the centrefire, as it's annoying having to drop the cheek piece if I want to remove the bolt, but that obviously would have ramped up the price.

I have the RPRimfire in .22lr. I love it, my 7 and 9 yr olds love it. The fight over who gets to shoot the bolt action vs the 10/22. Which speaks volumes that my 9 yr old prefers the rpr to the semi-auto 10/22.(they have a good time with both of course. I was actually out shopping for an M&P AR22 when I saw the RPR and got it instead. Zero regrets.

Thanks to Ruger for making such a great platform and Vortex for making such great optics!

OK guys I know lever guns aren’t platforms for expensive scopes, but you need to do a show on the new Mayodan made Marlins. Ruger bought Marlin out of the scrap heap Remington had become and built a new factory to make the guns right. And it shouldn’t be a surprise that new Marlins are surprisingly accurate for lever action rifles. (See what I did there? 😂)

[@jonzie1228]

I just bought one in .338 Lapua Magnum a couple of weeks ago. I haven't even shot it yet. Just mounted a Vortex Venom last week and started working up some handloads. I can not wait to get to the range.

[@VortexNation]

Sounds like a good pairing to us! Happy shooting.

[@skylarreese240]

I 100% agree with Ryan. My 6.5 RAP with a single stage trigger in an Oryx chassis is the most accurate rifle I own. I also have a Tikka T3x Tac A1 in .308, but the Ruger prints .75 moa 5-shot groups consistently and can even get down below .5 with good handloads and a steady day at the range. The value you can get in a rifle like that is incredible.

Hey @VortexNation, love the talk on the RPR! Question, what's your thoughts on 224 Valkyrie vs 22 Creedmoor?

[@p47rr]

I shot my RPR first Gen in 243 Winchester. I looked through the barrel with the bolt remove to zero it first. First shot was all most a bullseye at one hundred yards. Second shot. Couldn’t figure out where it went. Third shot. Same thing. Walked down to the target and realized I was shooting in the same hole. Gun is so accurate. I have a muzzle brake on it. And that’s about the only upgrade. It is not fussy when comes to bullets ether.

[@JamesSmith-wh4xe]

I have been head over heels for this platform since the very first time my work pardner showed it to me all those years ago. It had to come out after I had said my I do’s, so thusly I did not, even at the fantastic value it represents. I was fortunate enough to cross paths with a fellow who wanted to divest himself of a Gen 3 RPR in .308. I’ll be the first to admit that it is not the ballistic darling of the ball, but dang if it doesn’t get the windows steamy all the way around the calendar. I have it all set up and ready for it’s maiden flight with me to the range which is yet to come. I have to confess though that I haven’t played with anything this much without taking it to the bank since I was fifteen years old. 😂 Ruger smashed the hell out of all the preconceptions with this platform. Until they brought this to the market you couldn’t play the long range game for less than 3k minimum, and that was just the beginning. This made every man not just Walter Middy with a gun but a potential contender. Ruger actually shifted the paradigm off the edge of the page. As you mentioned in your video, Vortex simultaneously either by kismet or Divine intervention brought the right toppings for the cake as the market was heating up. Kudos to whoever is driving your bus! You three are rapidly becoming some of my favorite generators of topical videos. Always on point and invariably bringing the past to the present to face the future. Keep up the good work and I look forward to sharing the product of my personal process with this platform with you.

[@Auto-Tech-Matt]

My wife loves her rpr custom shop in 6.5 creedmoor. We are thinking that when she burns the barrel out, we will go with a 6 creedmoor. It is a great prs rifle out of the box. Great balance and has everything you could want in a custom rifle short of some weights in the chassis.

[@kentgoldings]

There’s a bit of gate-keeping in the precision rifle world that throws a bit of shade on the RPR. But, know many non-competitive shooters that shoot the RPR that love it. Personally, I prefer the Hawkeye LRT which uses the same barrels. But, there’s no shame in the RPR.

This factory rifle set the tone for PRS shooters and would-be wannabe Carlos Hathcock known as "White Feather" shooters for extended long-range shooting, whether through competition and/or hunting, albeit heavy for hunting! Think I'd have a version of that folding mag pull stock to go along with it and change out grip, too! So many toys, so little money!😊

[@therealfinn1839]

What's the scope like im thinking of buying a vortex similar to what you have

[@danroseveare3090]

I loved the truthful sarcasm/stories when referring to hunting rifles. Sloppy rear mount, not the best scope, still getting sub MOA shots, and with witnesses ta boot. I think every hunter/shooter should hone their skills to have a sub MOA shot, with not the best equipment; that builds confidence, and confidence is a big part in getting that perfect shot because you're not doubting/worrying/wondering about your kit. I own an Axis II PR (first PR I've purchsed) and achieved consistent sub MOA groups within 30 minutes of the first fired round. I'm in the process of purchasing a RPR in 308 and can't wait to put some rounds downrange with it. The way these PR's are being manufactured, there really isn't any excuse for not being able to achieve a sub MOA group every time you go shooting; at least related to your kit that is. Great videos guys, keep up the good work.

[@reillyberg7761]

I picked up a precision rimfire in 17hmr awhile ago, and it became one of my favorite rifles I own, not just because of how well it shot, but because my wife really loves to shoot it and it's gotten her into shooting more. Now when we're packing up to head to the range she always double checks to make sure we have it 😂

[@mcb061]

I purchased the Gen-2 Ruger Precision rifle in .308 and have been loving it ever since. As long as the scope is zeroed you will definitely be able to make sub MOA groups at 100 yards all day long.

[@kevinbachemin9957]

What the RPR did change was my opinion about the .243. This cartridge is a fantastic long-range cartridge: easily 700 yards, 1000 yard capability with 107 or 115 gr. pills.

[@veriest1]

I wouldn't say the Rimfire version is the "exact same gun" at all. The stock is a flimsy piece of plastic that's molded into the chassis and is barely adjustable enough for a full size adult male. If they had used the same chassis or similar (with obvious changes for the 10/22 mags) but cheapened the stock up on the rimfire version that would have been awesome and would have let end users set them up exactly the same. Instead, they molded the stock into the chassis and it flexes sideways if you look at it funny. The Rimfire version has very little aftermarket support compared to the standard version too if that tells you anything.

I have the RPR in .338 Lapua, and will be competing in my first ELR match in May with it. I'm not sure of the ranges, but i know there is an oddball out to 3k. So we will see how she handles it.

Most accurate Rifle I have owned thus far and in 6.5 Creedmoor with originally a Vortex Venom till I craved an illuminated center. Shot cloverleafs in the X ring at 200 yards with handloads or Norma Match in 140gr... Even likes AAC BTHP, which comes cheaper than I can reload....

[@mikeherrmann5360]

Mine was 6m creed. best groups and most fun I ever had...... I will have another. Wish they would do a lefty

[@johnslade9583]

I have this gun in 17HMR. It shoots great even out to 200 meters.

[@propertypreparedness6846]

Great rifle! Love ruger.

[@ZaxMan3D]

i Just ordered my first rifle and ended up with the rpr rimfire, i was also looking at a Tikka T1X but the cost was about the same seems like i get more for the same price on the RPR.

[@roguemodel]

I purchased the special edition RPR 6.5 in red for $1600.00. I made a couple of upgrades, a straight grip, a new bolt shroud, and an upgraded trigger, although the original is decent. I find the sock just fine for me. The damn thing shoots light out. I think it is the short action and a great barrel. This is the foundation upon which Ruger will build a moxie competitor. I love it. I do not question why my Ruger tack drives a smaller group than my buddies Accuracy International: AT-X, a $4300 PR. He was incredulous...and somewhat pissed.

He's not wrong with the Ruger predator. Ive had one and stuck it into a LSS MDT.. uh-mazing rifle and setup. I regret selling it 😮‍💨

[@countryjerry52]

A 10 min talk, on how good, and fast the Lee Enfield action was for the time

[@brownnoise357]

Great Review, next time I'm in the USA I must remember to have a look at the RPR. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍✨️✨️✨️

[@LFDNC]

Huge RPR fan. Also a prophet of the Vortex gospel. I’ve had fantastic results with both. Wasn’t there an ELR record set with a Vortex?

[@chrisschilling9432]

I just bought an RPR last year in 300 PRC! I haven't even shot it yet, as I want to put some quality glass on it first.

[@jacktown52]

I have a RPR in 6.5 CM with an EP5, and I love it. I'm not sure it's possible to miss an animal inside of 200 yards with that rifle.

[@harps6668]

My 1st 3 Rifles I got here in Australia were RPR's. 1st 5.56/.223 with a Viper PS2 EBR-2C 5 - 25 x 50 MRAD with over 4k rounds through it still still can get .265" groups at 100 meters, 2 rifle a .22LR RPR with a Diamondback Dead Hold BDC 3 - 12 x 42 MOA "now replaced" with a Diamondback EBR-2c 4 - 16 x 44 MRAD also with over 4k rounds and still can get .3" groups at 50 meters and my 3rd rifle 338LM with the beast Razor gen II EBR-2C 4.5 - 27 x 56 MRAD only has 267 rounds through it, I am limited to 500 meters at my range but want to take it out as far as I can, I love 'em

[@VortexNation]

Great success!

[@bobbygray496]

I also got an RPR in 5.56 Nato....lucky to get it as they were shortly discontinued. Great rifle with an Arken 6-24X50 scope. I also upgraded the bolt handle, pistol grip, bolt shroud, and titanium firing pin thru Anarchy Outdoors. I shoot Black Hills Mark 262 Mod 1-C 77 grain, or IMI 77 grain out to 1000 yards!

[@georgelza]

we have guys taking part in King 1 Mile with a 300PRC in RPR... think individual might actually also use it for sorter side of the King of 2 mile.

[@dangoike8646]

I've seen it in videos for a while. Was wondering the story behind the spam cans on the shelf?

[@jeffreywilson690]

I have a Ruger RPR in 243 win love it Over 2000 rounds and still sub moa I target shoot and hunt with it

[@aaroncrosby4448]

I have one in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Arken sh4 scope and with handloads it's a 1/2 moa rifle or better!❤

[@supersixx9916]

I've been shooting the RPR for like 2 years now, nothing i could complain about. Except that its like 2000 € over here :> . Qualitiy is quite okay, accuarcy with factory loads is good (Y). looking forward to do my own ammo for it and see how it performs on 300 and 600 meters☄

[@jacobivy2854]

Had I not found my Tikka T3x CTR and my Sako S20 for ridiculously low prices, I’d have snagged one of these. I’d still like to have one in .338 LM just for giggles.

[@CCH-R]

Have to do the Remington 700 next. Those old Rem 700s can shoot. Sub moa with Hornady whitetail with both that I own.

[@jimccc9467]

Which height Vortex scope mounts are on that RPR?

[@steamingspud]

Hey... I grew up in Gardner. It's like... a large fast food court and a depot for drug distribution. Lots of "we used to" businesses...

[@runningwolf8115]

how his it to go hunting. can it be shoot standing up I wanted to get the ruger precision 7mm 08
