Ruger precision rimfire

Classic12 · September 26, 2022, 05:14 AM

A shooting buddy bought one last year and insisted I take it with me for a few days to try it. I did and enjoyed it. This year another 2 shooting buddies bought one. Now call me a fashion victim.

I saw one for sale used but almost new already geared up (scope, rings, bipod), but couldn’t agree on a price with the seller. His argument was that he needed that sum to buy the next toy, which is a silly argument to me since his needs do not dictate second hand market value.

I called the local dealer and he had exactly one left NIB, and it was discounted too. Ordered a Viper Diamondback 4-12 and a M-lok adapter. Checked my parts box for rings and a bipod.

50 shots at 50 meters in abt 10 minutes

A fun toy for sure

Eventually, if you want to squeeze the best precision out of it you can, you'll probably benefit from a higher power quality scope. I never noticed before how much that trigger looks like an accutrigger.

Great scope choice, Excellent rifle.
I have never shot one before, I bet it will be a treat.
