Got mine from Timney; installed it, and it is every bit the trigger I was hoping for!! (Frankly what I expected on the Ruger Precision Rifle to begin with!) It's a 2-stage trigger; they asked me what weights I'd like for the stages. Settled on 8 oz. for stage 1, and 1 1/2# for stage 2. When your...
Wahsmen--Thx for the heads-up! I like the Timney triggers I have installed in the past. Found out from Timney that they were making one for the RPR and promptly sent off an order. Haven't received the new trigger as yet; will have a performance report after receipt and installation. Ruger tried...
Does Timney, or Jewell, or somebody, make a really nice target trigger that fits the Ruger Precision Rifle?
I'm spoiled--The "target trigger" that comes stock on the RPR seems draggy to me.
Or mebbe there is an adjustment for that?
'Scope...
Capt. Awesome: The RPR is wearing a Vortex Viper PST. Magnification is 6.5-24. At high magnification, my own heartbeat is a nuisance, but am not quite ready to give that up just yet... I wasn't greatly pleased with the idea of an illuminated reticle--Although it IS pretty--but it was...
Well, I promised results. Finally got the RPR, in 6.5 Creedmoor, and now finally have begun shooting it. The attached is best group so far.

Good on you!
DH 1633 PM--Nice looking rifle! And I have heard nothing but good things about the 6.5 CM, except that it is supposed to be a barrel burner.
Just got one myself, a Ruger Precision Rifle; like both it and the cartridge very much so far.
Question: Although not everyone stocks...
Eager to load for my new 6.5 Creedmoor. Got 100 Nosler cases. Have had good results for my "serious" rifles with CCI BR-2 primers, so that was what I used to prime them. The BR-2's I have used for years, with no problems; they have inserted normally into all my cases up 'til now.
That's as...
Primers...
I think that what Cannonman is asking is something different. Obviously, you should use the correct size and type primer for the cartridge and powder you are loading.
However, the question seems to me to be, given (for example) that we are loading .38 spl cases with target loads of...
6.5 CM materials...
I've had very good results using CCI BR-2 primers for ammunition for my "serious" rifles. No results to report on 6.5CM, though. The new Nosler reloading guide #8 wants Federal 210's for primers in 6.5CM.
I do not use Federal primers when there is any alternative, simply...
Ye Gods!
Yugorpk--By all means get that RPR back to its maker! Just got one myself and while I haven't even begun to wring it out properly, so far it looks to be very much up to the hype. Curious--Mine is 6.5CM; which cartridge is yours?
I will be very much looking forward to your report on...
Heavy!
CDB1--You are so right! Handn't realized. Plus, the weight is all barrel--there's nothing on the back end to counterbalance it. Would work from a stand, but as to hiking through the woods or over the meadows or up a mountain with the RPR, Fer-GET-it!!!
Ammo
PB 46--Thanks. I think I can do better when the RPR and I are more used to each other.
Ammo was Hornady Superformance 129 grain SST's, just what I could get off the shelf. Also got a couple boxes of Hornady Match 120's that I didn't try.
Want to get to the 140 grain bullets--that's...
