What are your opinions on the new Ruger precision rifle?
It should be spot on with its design, features, materials, etc.
Seems like the only thing they could fuck up is tolerances and QC.
And Ruger is a US company, so I'm pretty sceptical.
>>29255612
Reports so far are they are fucking amazing for the price. Babby's first precision firearm, if you find one under MSRB buy it.
>>29255612
Like a fukn unicorn because you cant find them anywhere
>>29255612
I think they're banned in aus for looking too military :(
>>29255735
not surprised, they have been selling really fast from what i can gather.
>>29255749
They are being un banned, expect to see them within a couple of months
>>29255757
Fuckin noice I'll be saving up then. No doubt there'll be an extra 1k fee for aus buyers.
>>29255735
Unless you want to overpay a few hundred dollars on gunbroker
>>29255757
Now the cunts just need to unban the Warrick WFA1 in NSW
>>29255757
>>29256054
H&K R8 when?
>>29255612
From what I am seeing they are really good, just don't get one in .308. I have seen a few of the .308 versions going up for sale on my local armslist
>>29255735
Yesterday, I found one in 243 and one in 6.5... at fucking Dick's Sporting Goods. I fingerfucked it but won't buy it--mostly because I'm split between buying a Mossberg 930, Marlin 1894C, CZ 527 Carbine, or my 2nd AR-15 build.
>>29256061
Never H&K left the civilian market after our government treated them like trash
They already left the American market after the american government treated them like trash
Its why H&K only make certain guns now and say fuck off to any snowflake guns they could adapt
>>29256098
>I have seen a few of the .308 versions going up for sale on my local armslist
You suppose that means they have problems?
>>29258119
Not problems with the rifle, just maybe that people realized getting such a rifle in .308 wasn't yielding the accuracy they were hoping for.
They don't fucking ship any. To anyone but Cabelas
>>29258119
>>29258314
Yeah there have been more reports of the 308 versions being not as accurate. My friend bought one of the 6.5 versions and it pretty much kicks ass...
>>29258335
mine is like .6-.7 ish moa
>>29258352
.308?
>>29258443
Yeah. I was going for the 6.5 but availability was bad and I didn't feel like buying another kind of ammo. I just share the175gr FGMM with my SR-25 and use the 168gr for the SCAR
>>29258464
Good taste in rifles
Which SR25 variant do you shoot?
>>29258508
One of those fancy Delta turn in M110 carbine uppers
>>29258464
Did you get all the goodies? My friend already blew a lot of money buying trigger shoes, bolt shrouds, muzzle brakes and other shit...
>>29258552
Stock, All I have done is thrown a bipod on and reversed the cheekpiece for a better cheekweld.
>>29258531
Shoot suppressed? Does the SR25 suppressor fit over the muzzle brake or would you have to use a different one
>>29258563
I don't have a suppressor yet, but the KAC suppressor does fit over that flashider.
>>29258591
Very nice. I've always wanted the ER variant so I'm disappointed that they are no longer in production
>>29258335
Duh they aren't as accurate, .308 is an inherently less accurate found you tard.
>>29258464
Wait, is the Ruger precision tuned for 175gr, not 168gr?
>>29258943
Wat... Maybe for elr shots where it is mostly wind driven BC benefits, but the 308 should be incredibly close within like 300 yards, but the RPRs haven't been as good.
I finger fucked one.
Ive decided to build a custom off the howa 1500 instead.
Nice guns though. I just want a custom and can do it for about the msrp. ( i havent seen a rpr for less than msrp here)
FUCK RUGER THEY ARE ANTI GUN BILL RUGER BURN IN HELL YOU NIGGER
>>29259916
your meme regurgitator is set to 90's mode, I suggest you recalibrate it
>>29259916
Bill Ruger has BEEN dead and the new owner is not anti-anything.
>>29255612
U.S. is literally the best gun manufacturing country on the planet when it comes to quality. Unless youre talking about tiny productions, like swiss guns, but american custom shops make the worlds best guns and it's not even close.
>>29260072
no its one of the shittiest. fucks sake, you're saying it best yourself.
>american custom shops
the are good, but european custom shops are the best.
american mass market guns are pieces of shit
>>29255612
That thing looks fucking hideous.
>>29260102
Wew lad eurocuck detected.
Euro companies get shit on by american companies. S&W makes more guns themselves than all of europe combined. Are you saying that they dont make extremely reliable products?
>>29255612
I know I should get the 6.5 since that is superior across the board...but fuck, I already have thousands of rounds of .308 and a M1A
Do I need another section of shelf for another ammo type?
>>29255735
Protip: You order them.
>>29258119
I ordered mine in .308 and not 6.5creed after a long internal debate.
I know that the creed is vastly better for precision shooting but i do not load myself and where i life .308 is roughly 20€/50rounds and creed beeing not available at all or for twice the price.
Also my range does allow it but has only a 100m stand. The longer ranges (300+) are all owned by the military. You are allowed to shoot there on certain days but only with NATO ammuniton.
So sadly all in all the 6.5creed is no option...
>>29258314
Well yeah because 20 inches.
>>29259784
Bullshit
I've seen several reviews withing the 500yard range and .308 was hardly worse. Beyond 700 it is a whole different story though
>>29260456
I've never bought into the "x cartridge is inherently inaccurate" meme.
Some have less range capability than others, but calling a cartridge like, say, 7.62x39 "inherently inaccurate" because nobody makes anything but shitty military loads is misleading. If someone made it with good brass and quality projectiles manufactured with maximum accuracy in mind, you'd find as many sub-moa groups at whatever its effective range actually is as any other "more accurate" cartridge.
TL;DR It's just brass and a bullet. You can meme shoulder angles at me all day, but any cartridge can be made to be just as accurate at any other, with the only variation between them being effective range.
Whether or not it's cost effective to do so is an entirely different matter.
>>29260391
>Also my range does allow it but has only a 100m stand.
The fuck you need a RPR for, then?
Isn't punching the same hole over and over boring after a while?
I have not had mine very long, but it is coming along. I'm close on my 6.5 reloads, just needs a little more tweeking.
>>29260937
That scope looks front-heavy as shit.
What's the maximum magnification you can get in the smallest package possible?
>>29260901
>If someone made it with good brass and quality projectiles manufactured with maximum accuracy in mind, you'd find as many sub-moa groups at whatever its effective range actually is as any other "more accurate" cartridge.
Except nobody makes 7.62x39 for long range accuracy, which renders the whole x39 category "inherently innaccurate" because there are NO accurate bullets that exist for that casing (AFAIK).
>>29260937
getting closer, but I'm sure I can better
>>29260952
>That scope looks front-heavy as shit.
Sunshades aren't very heavy
>What's the maximum magnification you can get in the smallest package possible?
Enjoy your tiny-ass exit pupil diameter.
>>29260952
It has a huge sunshade. I took it off. It's 25x
>>29261027
you're forgetting that people commonly get sub MOA with x39 in quality firearms like the CZ 527 carbine, the thing with x39 that's bad for accuracy is it drops like a rock in comparison to 5.56 or 5.45
>>29255612
I want to get either a RPR or the new Canadian ranger rifle based off thr Tikka T3 when it comes out. Whatever i get would be in 308.
Which one should i get? Leaning towards the Canadian one atm
>>29261086
>it drops like a rock in comparison to 5.56 or 5.45
Exactly, and short range accuracy is pretty useless. Punching a quarter at 50 yards is nice, but if you can't hit a pumpkin at 250...
>>29260072
>U.S. is literally the best gun manufacturing country on the planet when it comes to quality
Nah.
Huge Euro companies like Steyr, Sako, sig sauer, Tikka, CZ, accuracy international, ... completely blow US shit like Remington, Winchester, ... out of the water. Especially when it comes to the quality and accuracy of precision rifles.
>>29261145
>if you can't hit a pumpkin at 250...
There are vids out there of people consistently hitting pumpkin-sized targets at much greater distances than that.
>>29261027
Nobody makes .22lr for long range accuracy either, but there's shitloads of match .22 for sale. And rimfire is probably the worst thing for accuracy out there.
My point still stands. The only thing that can't be changed about a cartridge is the brass dimensions, the bullet diameter, and the overall length.
Maximum ranges will differ based on caliber and case capacity, but at the end of the day you can get anything from .45/70 to fucking .30 Carbine make groups as tight as 6.5CM once you've worked out the optimal range.
>>29261932
>Nobody makes .22lr for long range accuracy either, but there's shitloads of match .22 for sale.
Your point? x39 has neither match ammo nor "long range ammo" (whatever that means for you). What is the purpose of circlejerking over who has the tighest groupings at 100m (which is a short-as-fuck distance) ?
>And rimfire is probably the worst thing for accuracy out there.
I disagree. 22LR is surprisingly accurate at 200m+
>>29260072
[citation needed]
>>29261164
Winchester's owned by a the Belgians FWIW.
>>29262026
Holy shit you're dense.
My point is that every cartridge has the potential for sub-moa accuracy, with the only difference being the range at which that can be achieved. Whether or not manufacturers cater to that is moot.
Then you come in sperging about how "only long range matters," but now you're backtracking on that too.
(And for the record, rimfire tends to ignite powder unevenly, which is not conducive to consistent accuracy. But that only matters to autistic bench shooters.)
pretty cool looking little rifle. If I didn't have my M1A, I'd consider picking one up in .308.
>>29258949
168 SMK's don't do well at long range due to their cannelure angle. 175's have a better BC as well.
>>29261164
True CZ rock
Add accuracy international to that list.
I think the US and slavs have a lot in common.
Obsessed with crappy mass market assault rifles.

It does seem like a great precision gun for the price. Shame that $1000 turns into 2000€ in yurop.
>>29262026
jesus christ dude youre practically going against youre own dumbass argument here
>>29264220
more a matter of firearms being a super luxury in euroland so theyre made accordingly. in the US its all variety and quantity. Custom 1911s always tickle me. they go through all the hand fitting and fine detail for 3-5k when somebody could just go through the trouble of working out a good solid set of plans for well machined gun that needs fuck all for fitting if they stuck to the plan and their own parts to crank out damn good pistols for less than customs but noooo. And to think people legit think S&W revolvers are the best around.
>>29266172
They are the best mass produced revolvers in the world.
>>29262144
You probably think w german sigs are better than u.s. ones too lmao
>>29267522
They are.
bumping for interest
>>29260935
Why do you need it?
> dare i say it?
> FUN
>>29265745
Almost
But yeah .308 is the way to go here. No sense in a rifle that you cannot shoot bevause there is no fucking ammo there to buy
>>29271652
>Almost
Are you a refugee or something?
>>29271664
Europe is cucked, but not arming refugees cucked, mate.
Besides Europe consists of more than 2 countries mr.burger
>>29271652
You bought a Ruger precision rifle in Europe?
How many euros was it? Did you get it yet?
