This is complemented by a protective Gray Cerakote finish, known for its extreme durability, chemical resistance, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring the rifle stands up to the rigors of any environment.
• Optimized Recoil Management with In-Line Path: A cornerstone of the Ruger Precision Rifle's design is its patented in-line recoil path. This innovative system manages recoil directly from the rear of the receiver to the buttstock. By channeling energy in a straight line, it minimizes muzzle jump and reduces rotational forces, providing maximum accuracy potential and allowing shooters to stay on target more easily after each shot. This leads to tighter groups and improved consistency, especially during rapid fire.
• Ruger Precision MSR Stock: Adaptability and Comfort: The Ruger Precision MSR (Modern Sporting Rifle) Stock is a hallmark of the rifle's ergonomic design. This highly adjustable stock caters to individual shooter preferences, ensuring a perfect fit for optimal comfort and control.
  • QD Sling Attachment Points: Integrated Quick Detach (QD) sling attachment points allow for rapid and secure sling attachment, crucial for tactical movement or stable shooting positions.
  • Bottom Picatinny Rail: A Picatinny rail on the underside of the stock facilitates the attachment of monopods or other stability aids, providing fine elevation adjustments for precise shot placement.
  • Soft Rubber Buttpad: The soft rubber buttpad significantly enhances shooting comfort, absorbing recoil and reducing shoulder fatigue, even during extended shooting sessions.
  • Left-Folding Hinge: The left-folding stock hinge is a practical feature that greatly enhances portability and storage. It allows the rifle to be compactly folded, making it easier to transport in smaller cases or vehicles. This also aids in cleaning and maintenance, providing better access to the action. The hinge is attached to a standard AR-style buffer tube, meaning the rifle accepts any AR-style stock, offering an unparalleled level of customization for the discerning shooter.
• Magpul MOE-K2+ Grip: The rifle comes equipped with a Magpul MOE-K2+ pistol grip, a popular choice among shooters for its ergonomic design and comfortable texture. It features a steeper grip angle compared to traditional AR grips, which improves comfort and control, especially when shooting with shorter lengths of pull or in more vertical shooting positions. The "plus" indicates a rubberized overmolding for enhanced grip security in all conditions.
• Factory Installed TriggerTech Trigger: Precision shooting demands a superior trigger, and the Ruger Precision Rifle delivers with a factory-installed TriggerTech trigger. TriggerTech is renowned for its Zero Creep™ Technology, providing a crisp, clean break with virtually no overtravel. This enhances the shooter's ability to execute precise shots by eliminating uncertainty in the trigger pull. The consistency and predictability of this trigger are invaluable for competitive shooters and anyone striving for maximum accuracy.
• Optics Ready Design: The rifle is designed to be "Optics Ready," featuring an integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail. This canted rail is critical for long-range shooting as it provides additional elevation adjustment for your scope, preventing you from running out of clicks at extreme distances. This allows you to utilize your optic's full adjustment range, a significant advantage when engaging targets at 800 yards, 1000 yards, and beyond.
• Robust Receiver and Bolt Construction: Both the receiver and the one-piece bolt are precision CNC-machined from pre-hardened 4140 chrome-moly steel. This material is known for its exceptional strength and durability, ensuring a robust and reliable platform. CNC machining guarantees precise tolerances, leading to smoother operation and enhanced accuracy. The oversized bolt handle further facilitates positive manipulation, even with gloved hands.

M-Lok slots on all four sides offer extensive modularity, allowing for easy attachment of bipods, lights, lasers, and other shooting aids precisely where needed. This modularity is a key advantage for shooters who frequently adapt their rifle to different shooting scenarios.
• Multi-Magazine Interface: Ruger’s patented multi-magazine interface is a standout feature, allowing the rifle to accept a wide range of popular SR25/DPMS, LR308, and AICS magazines. This versatility is incredibly beneficial, giving shooters the freedom to use their preferred magazines or those most readily available.

Why Choose the 6mm Creedmoor?

The 6mm Creedmoor cartridge has rapidly gained favor in the precision shooting community for several compelling reasons:

• Exceptional Ballistics: The 6mm Creedmoor is optimized for long, high ballistic coefficient (BC) bullets, which exhibit superior wind resistance and maintain velocity over extended ranges. This translates to less wind deflection and a flatter trajectory, simplifying holdovers at distance.
• Manageable Recoil: Compared to larger long-range calibers like .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor, the 6mm Creedmoor offers notably less felt recoil. This allows shooters to stay on target more easily, observe bullet trace, and perform faster follow-up shots without excessive fatigue.
• Precision Potential: With its efficient case design and ability to drive high-BC projectiles, the 6mm Creedmoor is inherently accurate, often delivering sub-MOA performance straight from the factory, especially when paired with a quality rifle like the Ruger Precision Rifle.
• Versatility: While primarily a target cartridge, the 6mm Creedmoor is also effective for ethical hunting of medium-sized game like deer or various predators, making the Ruger Precision Rifle a multi-purpose tool for those who engage in both sport and hunting.

Optimizing Your Long-Range Performance with the Ruger Precision Rifle

To truly unlock the potential of your Ruger Precision Rifle, consider these aspects of its use:

• Optics Selection: Given the rifle's long-range capabilities, investing in a high-quality scope with appropriate magnification, robust turrets, and a clear reticle designed for ranging and holdovers is paramount. The 20 MOA Picatinny rail ensures you have enough elevation adjustment for extreme distances.
• Ammunition Choice: While the 6mm Creedmoor is inherently accurate, experimenting with different bullet weights and brands can further refine your rifle's precision. For competitive shooting, many reloaders tailor their ammunition for optimal performance.
• Stabilization Accessories: A sturdy bipod (easily attached to the M-Lok handguard) is essential for prone shooting or bench rest accuracy. For rear support, consider a monopod attached to the Picatinny rail on the stock or a good shooting bag.
• Maintenance: Regular cleaning and proper maintenance, especially of the cold hammer-forged barrel, will preserve accuracy and extend the rifle's lifespan. The folding stock makes bore cleaning more accessible.
