Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifle Review: Part 5 - Range Tests

[@oldedominion8782]

THANK YOU! For showing a table of simple, exact target result data for different ammos at distance. Almost no one else does this, it's extremely useful.

[@Dynamo55b]

lol… results will vary in your rifle… his results will not be indicative of your expectations. Even if you manage to replicate the environment… BUT it is a good way to collect data for your rifle to help determine your own results…. Why no one else mentioned this three years later and with 40 some likes is laughable. hopefully you figured that out by now…

[@edrah08]

I love the data you put together. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

[@SuperHank777]

Loving the updates and different ammo testing and realistic groups

[@mirta19422]

The best review I have seen on youtube. You really put the work into this. Thank You!

[@tigerpisces5506]

I just bought one. TY. Great shooting.

[@63grandsport11]

I epoxied a small piece of 3/8 aluminum tubing about 3/8 of an inch on the bottom of my short magazines. It gives me something to grab.

[@EPGunman]

Have the Bergara B14r as a trainer and I may get the RPR for a second trainer. (I have the RPR in .308) my friend wanted to try his hand a precision rimfire but did not want to spend a lot of money and I made a list of criteria for him go through. This one checked all his boxes plus a couple. I left the scope up to him lol. I gave him 4 as a base to start from but he will have to choose what fits him.

[@jordankingswood]

I’ve noticed a few reviews where the mags of the bx15 and upwards are a looser fit. It makes for easier mag changing. However in the reviews I had watched, it was explained that the looser fit, allows the mag to droop on the leading edge, causing bruises on the projectile thus affecting accuracy.

[@totherepublic358]

I have the ruger american rimfire target model with the bull barrel and laminate stock. Excellent rifle, very accurate. Ruger is making some good stuff these days.

[@weallmattergatorwilliams9434]

Do you have the 22 or the 22wmr. I have the 22wmr....man it is a freaking tackdriver!....I have literally hit empty 22 casings and shot the heads of roofing nails....its a little heavy with the wood stock but accuracy more than makes up for it....I'd like to see one put up against the rpr

[@bluewickedburner]

The 10 round mags don't drop out in any 22, 22WMF or 17MHR RPR rifles.

[@johndimuzio3366]

The 10 round mag sticking is the result of the nub on the back of the mag is too big in diameter . Take mag apart and put the nub with the axle out in a drill or drill press and with a medium grit hone reduce the diameter of the male nub until it goes into the release button all the way. Go slowly you don’t want to overdo it. Now mine works great in the10/22 and my Ruger American. Discovering this took me many hours of comparing every piece of the red follower mag to the black follower mag. Worth a try.

[@simplyrise5217]

The gong by the water! What more do you need? So therapeutic sound😎👍👌

[@simplyrise5217]

Update on my ruger precision 22lr with suppressor. After a year. Love it😁. I have shot it out to 300 yards consistent results with cci std velocity.

[@InSightFreedom]

I just picked up one for my son in FDE. Can’t wait to get him out to the range and start stretching things a bit. Great review.

[@gpracer270]

This is very very helpful, you're findings on the CCI standard suppressed and un suppressed pretty much confirm what I have achieved. Well done Sir. "Same rifle of course"

[@jeromewilliams4574]

Excellent video, I have the Rory in 22 magnum. I have shot it but not like this. I will be testing the limits more this Spring now that I see what your LR is capable of. Thanks again one of the better video I seen that explains how to work the elevation with the right glass.

[@markpetteway7176]

Very relevant review lot of fun to shoot my RPR to.

[@Nova-1977]

I have the same rifle and the CCI standard velocity is very accurate. The larger mag of course drops out on its own it weighed twice as much .

[@martingagnon4547]

Precision training rifle. Exactly what it is! Learning the basics of ballistic and practice in the field. It's the perfect tool for that. Also, thanks for sharing with us this review. I found it very informative, relevant and reliable (witch is not the case of the other reviews that I saw).

[@gerard0l6569]

GREAT review, thanks for taking the time to do this

[@Gentleman2019]

I would love to see the actual accuracy of this rifle, indoors with Lapua match ammo.

[@oldbandguy]

Nice video. I got one in 22 Mag and love it. Wish I had a range that you've got :-)

[@sahmadi1000]

If it groups sub MOA, it's a rifle. If it groups larger than 1 MOA, it's a Boomstick. Unless a rifle is collectable, I would not keep it around if it's a Boomstick. Thank you for the encouraging results.

[@cfm6229]

aguila super extra is not subsonic , its hypersonic 1,255 fps , what you shot may have been aguila subsonic which flies at 1,034 fps. and if you use a rubber barrel dampener you can narrow almost any ammo to a smaller group! including the aguila super extra.

[@scott762mm]

Nice work on the spreadsheet!! I like it!!

[@QSpeedRacer]

I need to get a rear bag for when i test ammo

[@stevedouglas5443]

The groups you got at 50 are about even with my Shultz and Larson target 22. That means good.

[@texasraider1137]

Great review. I had just ordered my CZ 455 Precision Trainer when Ruger came out with the RPR or I would of had one myself. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to shoot the RPR. I have found that my CZ likes Norma TAC 22 or Norma Match which makes me happy since it is a reasonably priced, quality rimfire round. At 25, 50 and 100 yards its been a sub MOA shooter for the most part. At 200 I'm consistently hitting a 4" x 4" steel plate; however my actual groupings on paper average between 3-4 inches. The challenge of reading the wind, knowing your ballistics on a particular rimfire round makes these trainers so useful, especially out to the longer range. You might give the Norma ammo a try. BTW, my CZ also liked the CCI standard. Again, great review and data collection.

[@GunsumerReports]

Thanks for the feedback! I will get some Norma and try it out next time at the range.

[@sunnesonne]

GunsumerReports hi there, just got my tiger precision 22 today, and I failed to extract cci minimags, and cci quiet, and extracts only federal automatch. What should I do?

[@craigkaschan4822]

I have a Ruger American rimfire and it loves CCI standard velocity. I have the same problem releasing the 10 round mag as well. I’m not even going to bother using other ammo with the results I been getting with the CCI standards. 🇦🇺

[@michaelmuzzy8401]

lapua pistol king is even better in my rpr

[@kentuckyjustice1408]

I can see why you're using UTG mounts. After $490 for a (Burris M-Tac) scope, who can afford high dollar mounts. The CCI Standard Velocity ammo was a good choice. It seems to give me some good results. That was some good shooting. Just ringing the steel would be good enough for me. I just bought a CZ 455 to get into the precision game. I hope I can do as well as you. Good video; "thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy. Thanks foe the video.

[@hellzsniperII]

there is a slight variance in overall dimensions on the 10rnd mags some drop out some don't in the precision rifle, i've got new and older ones makes no difference weather they work or not ,i think the have multiple molds for the bodies being used. they all seem to drop free from my 10/22s

[@scott762mm]

Excellent shooting!!

[@tscan100]

I just got my Ruger Precision rimfire. I tried the 10 round clip from my 22 takedown and it drops out just fine.The 10 round clip is just a tad larger like yours and drops out when I press the mag release.Thanks for the informative video, very well made.

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

I'm glad to see REAL group figures. On the internet usually every one rifle shoot under 0.5 inch at 50 yards :) . thanks for the video good job

[@robertwatson818]

All of us have the same issue when reviewing .22 rimfire rifles----ammunition shortcomings. I have one lot number of Eley Ten-X which shoots bragging size groups. Other lots shoot very good groups---but not as good as this single lot number.. This is common--so much so that ho hum groups are the norm while exceptional groups are "now and then". I had a 10-22 which produced amazing groups with Remington Thunderbolt. Everything else--almost useless. I own a Savage FV-SR which shoots groups which embarrass my friend's $3000 custom built rifles. It is "off the shelf"

[@ronwissinger2678]

Nice review thanks for the video 👍

[@patrickwaddell3685]

Vortex machined precision mounts. Sight mark triple duty 3-14x42. Shooting off bipod with sand bag rear. (Your m-lock screw was too long and was connecting to your barrel. Check for marks. Will explain vertical deviations due to impact on barrel whip/harmonics) I was consistent to 375 yards on a 3 inch target. I was using Geco .22lr ammo. I put prob 5k+ rounds down range. Using many different cartridges. CCI always was the gold standard for this rifle. Federal ultra match HV was a close second compared to the Geco match. But out to distances past 100 yards you have to use sub sonic ammo due to the inconsistencies of these light bullets going transonic. That’s why the Greco .22lr in my opinion out performed at ELD style .22lr ranges. Try these out. -clean that bore before

[@tokko6884]

What a load of shit this guy is lmao

[@pikesticker]

Wish I had watched your video before "wasting" hours of my life watching content that just didn't hit the mark for what I was interested in. It's nearly impossible to find any dealer that carries the high tech Match Grade imported 22LR ammo in my area. So this was a perfect resource for alternatives. Great job putting this together and my what a perfect "range" you have. How big are your catfish and bass? LOL Thanks again.

[@warbirdog]

I have also done a lot of BR 22 LR shooting. I settled on the CCI Standard Velocity for practice ammo. If you want the best ammo bar none, Get some of the Federal Gold Medal ULTRAMATCH. I bought Quite a bit, 3 years ago at $7 a box before too many people discovered it. The only place I see it now is Midwestgunworks.com at $18. I use an old Remy 4x. A 4 digit serial number from the mid fifties. But also use an Annie, a Cooper, . and Winchester. Also you might give some of the 10 bull targets a try. Good work.

[@SamuraiSamoht14]

Thanks for such an in depth review. My RAR has the same issue with the mag not dropping out when pushing the release. Not a big deal to me so I haven’t tried a mod yet.

[@SuperHank777]

I would really like to see u shoot some of the Aquila sniper subsonic 60 grainers out of this. Going to be ordering some soon

[@MrNiceKnife]

James clark My marlin 795 disagrees wholeheartedly. Shoots sss like a champ. It doesn’t shoot as good out of my RPRimfire unfortunately, must be the microgroove rifling in the marlin.

[@patdufresne6209]

I have had the same mag issues not coming out smoothly. I have tried to interchange my Ruger Sr22 mags and my RPR mags, both 10/22 mags, but it cannot be done...go figure! Since both are 10/22 mags, they should work with either rifle.

[@2amendment1960]

The tight mag could be helping line up the bullet,without damaging the round,like a loose mag can.

[@beckyclark9483]

good review mate.... thanks...

[@QSpeedRacer]

I only shot max 30 rounds so far.. No cleaning.. But after finishing zeroing my 17hmr rpr kept shifting right.. I kept having to dial it left.. Im hoping just breaking in and maybe scope got lose.. Didnt feel loose though

[@MrNiceKnife]

I’ve had my rifle for quite a while now, frankly I’m not happy with it’s “precision “. My $99 marlin 795 outshoots it and I’ve tries 10+ different type of ammo. I might try bedding, and a barrel. I heard there is an updated stock as the first version has issues, might have to give ruger a call. Nice video as always.

[@michaelmuzzy8401]

its the ammo,pistol king is spot on,

[@mnrodriguez]

Excellent review! I subscribed to your channel! Thanks!

[@ashleynicely1046]

That's a lot of supersonic crack for CCI standard velocity... I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE THE TARGETS.

[@DBlank72]

I have the same issue with the 10 round mag. I can pull mine from the front though.

[@josephevans5703]

Good job man love the gun I just bought one appreciate the info

[@barrazavicente]

Nice video, What scope do you have on your RPR 22?

[@joed3264]

I am trying to decide between a RPRF and a Ruger American heavy barrel in the laminate stock. They are about the same price. BTW we have a .22 Sniper Match with targets starting at 50 yds and going out to 200 yds. 200 yd targets are 4" x 6".

[@GunsumerReports]

Joe, which rifle to select may just depend on your overall preference of either a traditional style or pistol grip style rifle. I think they both would produce similar accuracy. There may be a slight advantage with the RPRF due to the adjustable stock and potential to replace the grip if desired. Also, you will probably be able to purchase aftermarket barrels for the RPRF and changing out the barrel is very easy. Hitting a 4"x6" plate at 200 yards should be a piece of cake provided you have good rifle support.

[@joed3264]

I will most likely go with the RPRF due to the ease of changing barrels. Waiting to see who comes out with one. Hopefully Lilja or Shilen. The only thing I don't like about the Precision Rifle is the flat bottom on the rear portion of the stock. That is not good for shooting off a rear bag. It would be hard to make elevation adjustments by sliding the bag back and forth. OTOH what the heck do I know? Ranger Class 5-70 Sniper.

[@derekquinones8614]

Joe D Shaw makes a good barrel I heard

[@MazzifLOL]

Hell yeah. I love my Burris Fullfield E1 on my bolt action 22. Solid review. Subbed

[@mirta19422]

Great review.

[@Hungrybird474]

These rifles are awesome with a good scope and a capable shooter who understands how bullets fly . 👍👍. Good guns from Ruger for a while now . The .243 version has been great . They don t make it anymore though so .308 , even better 😝. I love shooting them 2 liters from a ways . They really are pretty accurate at a distance like other good guns but it’s nice to have a gun that you know will hit at a distance .

[@nanomaine]

A most excellent review, and great presentation! Thank you for making this excellent series, on the Ruger Precision Rimfire. I appreciate your inclusion of subsonic ammo, as this rifle would make a great suppressed varmint tool. Your testing and information, has helped a lot - thank you!

[@robertwatson818]

Most of those are exceptional groups from a Ruger Precision .22. Most of them will not produce these groups--usually the groups would be twice this size

[@howardfriedly3235]

With my RPR, if you put any rearward pressure on the BX15 mag the front of the mag drops down slightly in the mag well causing the nose of the next round to jam against the mouth of the chamber, jamming the gun, and deforming the bullet. Any thoughts?

[@skyscratcher8825]

Use the 10rd mags with aluminum tape in receiver tightens up grouping at 100yds by 1/4 inch or some reports better.

[@matty101a]

great video!! i also love accuracy and value of the cci standard. My 10 rounder rotary mags drop free

[@rgdavip716]

Mine drops every 10 rd mag I feed it...knock on wood hasn't let me down yet. I do think my barrel is defective though. I cant get a single type of LR to group less than 3 inch. Same mags same types of ammo in my 10/22 and I get sub 1/2 moa groups...so I know it's not me lol

[@rgdavip716]

Let me also note here in (explicit) NY I can only use 10 round mags

[@freeholdtacticalmed]

I’m having extraction issues with my rifle. Anybody experienced anything similar?

[@honda450rider87]

Why is your rear scope ring so far forward? You've got plenty of picatinny rail behind the ring and the scope has a clear 2 inches where you can slide the ring back for more and better stability... wtf am I missing here besides you just did it for the looks to match the front ring placement...

[@tjmooremusic]

So considering that I put here on the left coast would be better off with the BX 15 ?

[@warbirdog]

You should go to Staples and buy some light or medium card file paper. It is firmer than most printer paper You holes will be much sharper.

[@PaperKiller79]

I’ve had to contact Ruger (waiting to hear back from them) as the magwell in the polymer chassis on mine is out of spec width-wise and won’t allow any type of mag to be inserted without really forcing it. I’ll see what they say...

[@EDP_every_day_pyro]

Excuse me.if I'm wrong but doesnt this rifle absolutely come ready for a bipod? That what m lok is for. I think you misspoke. You said you had to add m lok to mount the bipod. Did you mean you had to add a pic rail? Just making sure before I buy this. But it's my understanding m lok is just modern day pic rail. All you had to do was buy an m lok bipod. I could be wrong though and that's why I'm asking. Want to make sure this purchase is one I absolutely want to make before I make it. Thank you!

[@pikesticker]

If you have or buy an M-Lok Bipod you just need to attach it to the handguard. If you have a bipod that is picatinny then you need to buy a short M-Lok to Picatinny converter and install that on the handguard, then add your pica bipod. That is what I had to do the other day with my new RPR.

I have had the same issue with ammo not wanting to feed. I found a solution with opening up the Ruger factory magazine and inserting a shaved down 22lr shell in it (there is a KZbin video on this). Also I've went on ahead and purchased Butler creeks magazine and it works like a champ.

Are those med or high rings your using. What is the front bell size on that scope

[@GunsumerReports]

Those are high rings with a 44mm objective (bell diameter 56.5mm). I could have probably used medium rings. The gap between the bottom of the objective bell and handguard is 0.45"
