Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has introduced the latest edition of the Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR). The RPR's new and improved design is the result of years of feedback from competitive shooters.

In this new configuration, the RPR will be offered in three popular competition calibers—6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Winchester; as well as three magnum calibers—.300 Win Mag, .300 PRC and .338 Lapua Mag.

Doug Koenig, Team Ruger captain and winner of the Production Division of the 2024 Hornady Precision Rifle Challenge, worked closely with Ruger engineers to make meaningful, competition-ready upgrades to the Ruger Precision Rifle.

"We focused on combining the RPR's reliability and precision with more adjustability to fit every shooter," said Koenig. "Knowing I can fine-tune my rifle to fit my exact needs means I head into every match with confidence. This rifle is designed to support competitive shooters at the highest level."

The new buttstock allows for easy, intuitive and secure adjustment to conform to any shooter or style. The buttstock is adjustable for length-of-pull; cheek rest height and horizontal position; and buttpad height. For consumers who already own a Ruger Precision Rifle, the new buttstock is separately available for purchase on ShopRuger.com.

The new Ruger Precision Rifle features include: a heavy contour, cold-hammer-forged barrel; an improved muzzle brake; a Magpul MOE-K2 vertical pistol grip; and a black DLC-coated bolt. The aluminum handguard is equipped with M-Lok slots for compatible accessories and also features an Arca rail machined into the underside. The magazine well, handguard and stock body sport an attractive Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish

In addition, the Ruger Precision Rifle will be offered by the Ruger Custom Shop—chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor and 6mm GT. Custom Shop rifles feature: an adjustable TriggerTech Two-Stage Trigger delivering an exceptionally crisp break, minimal overtravel and an extremely short reset; a stainless steel, heavy contour barrel with installed muzzle brake to aid in felt recoil reduction; a barricade stop on the front of the magazine well to provide a steady rest when shooting off of obstacles; and a gray Cerakote coating on the magazine well, handguard, and stock body.
