About This Firearm
The Ruger Precision Rifle is a chassis-stocked bolt-action 6.5 PRC built for prone and bench shooting at distance. It has an MSRP of $2,209. Its heavy-contour barrel is 26 inches, two inches longer than the hunting rifles in this caliber carry, which is barrel the cartridge can use.
The buttstock folds and adjusts for length of pull, cheek rest height, cheek rest horizontal position and buttpad height, so the position is set and not compromised. A Magpul MOE-K2-XL grip and an ambidextrous manual safety are fitted, and the muzzle brake is aimed to keep blast and noise off the shooter's sides. No sights come on it, and the barrel is a gunsmith swap with headspace gauges when it wears out.
If you're cross-shopping, the Bergara B-14 HMR has an MSRP of $1,229 and is 3.3 lbs lighter on a 24-inch barrel with a sub-MOA guarantee. The Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint has an MSRP of $1,995 at 7.38 lbs with a .75 MOA guarantee. At 13.00 lbs and 49.25 inches it is too heavy to walk with.

Strengths & Limitations
- AICS-pattern magazines are the common standard in this class, so spares come from several makers.
- The oversized bolt handle threads on at 5/16-24, so a different knob screws straight on.
- The whole barrelled action wears Smoked Bronze Cerakote, and the barrel and receiver are both chrome-moly steel.
- The 8-40 rail screws limit replacement rails to versions drilled for them.
- Length of pull reaches 15.5 inches, a long stock behind a magnum, and it takes some winding in for a smaller shooter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the muzzle thread?
5/8-24, under the fitted Ruger Precision Rifle brake. That is the common American .30-caliber pattern, so a suppressor mount goes on in its place.
What twist rate is the barrel?
A right-hand 1:8.
Is this the same rifle as the .338 Lapua Magnum Precision Rifle?
It is the same chassis on a larger action. The .338 version uses a different magazine, a different muzzle thread and a longer receiver, so parts do not carry across.
