308 Ruger Precision Rifle Review
Spent a little time with both the 308 and 6.5 RPR lately; here are my impressions: Pros: -Loaded with features for the price point which is around $1200-1300 -has a lot of aftermarket support currently -CHF 4140 barrel threaded for suppressors or muzzle devices -ergonomic controls (grip, safety, bolt) -Comes with 1913 keymod rail; you can use either 1913 or keymod direct bipod mounts -adjustable trigger which is generally decent for a factory option Cons: -The stock latches came open a few times despite me adjusting the tension pretty tight -The bolt was a little sticky at first and feels loose right up until it's locked into battery Full review with accuracy test: Review Video Link]

I had no idea you were on here. Now I have another platform I can troll you on!
I've had mine for a bit over a year and my biggest complaint so far has been that the bolt shroud I have a v1) is really a PITA to get back on if you accidentally spin the bolt to the fired position. I had to put mine in a vice to get it back to the cocked position to re-install the shroud. Also, the stock was set it and forget it for me. My optic was picked from the moment I got the rifle, and once I had it, I set the stock up and locked it down. I had need to change it a few weeks ago and adjustments had completely seized up. I had to completely remove the tensioning hardware to get it to unlock and allow me to adjust it where I needed it (I was putting a new shooter on the rifle and needed to adjust the LOP and comb for them). It was a pain. There were springs and hardware all over the shooting bench. I may swap it out for something like a Luth-AR MBA. I never use the fold-to-side feature anyways (nor do I care for how it works). I'll never be packing this rifle into anywhere for a hunt. Mine's 15lbs with optic and bipod, unloaded and with the suppressor I run. Josh Supnick

Could be. The first rifle I got said .308 on the box and the rifle was actually built as a 6.5 Creedmore. Serials matched. I had to send it back to Ruger and wait for a replacement.
