That’s a notable bump in the RPR MSRP. Either $300 or $400 increase over last I looked (can’t recall if MSRP was $1800 or $1899), which was only a few weeks ago.
Terrible value for the money at $2200 MSRP, and the “custom shop” version at $2800 is shameful. Even knowing the street price will be ~$1800, this is a terrible value in firearm performance.
Phil Cashin at Masterpiece Arms keeps his PMR BA model at $2300 - better action, better chassis, better trigger, better barrel… incredibly better value than the Ruger Precision Rifle.
I’ve generally been a fan of the RPR and readily acknowledge that they shoot small, for a big brand factory rifle, but this price point is shameful for Ruger.
Something of note: a Ruger Pro shooter and one of their ad reps told me 2 years ago that Ruger had already by then sold over a million RPR’s… think about that…over a billion dollars in gross revenue on the RPR line alone. I’m glad for them, but this price point relative to the market and to their performance value is shameful.
