Is the RPR still worth it?
Would you bother with the RPR as a chassis to build on these days or is it a waste by the time you start putting some money into it?
Was reading this article and it looks like it does well stock for comp and potential if I drop some coin but I'm not sure whether I should just go straight to custom at this point and not be limited by the RPR. Thoughts? |

My advice, worth exactly what you pay for it, is to get a RPR (or substitute your premium rifle of choice), get a good barrel for it, get a good trigger for it, put good glass on it, and put good ammo through it and go shoot little teeny groups at extended ranges with the rifle. And don't try to blame the equipment if you come up short.

Bought mine in 308 three years ago, and I can honestly say, its the most accurate rifle, with various factory and hand loads I've ever had the pleasure to shoot in my sixty years of hunting and shooting !

Ruger built twenty 308 Winchester single shot rifles for the US Palma team in 1990. They thought all would be used in the upcoming World Palma Matches. Member's own rifles with Winchester and Remington actions tested about 6 to 7 inches at 1000 yards. The most accurate Ruger tested about 20.
