This is a great rifle that is very inexpensive compared to most precision rifles from various manufacturers. Mine is chambered in 308 because, as I have said in previous reviews, it is a great round and inexpensive compared to the 6.5 Creedmoor and other powerful rounds. The RPR is an ideal bench rifle because of the weight. This is not meant to be a hunting rifle. The trigger is superb, and the accuracy at 200 yards is great. I use PMC Bronze that sells for about 60 cents per round when you purchase 500 rounds. I posted information on Ruger’s website and videos from YouTube That is entertaining and informative. I like this rifle more than the LWRC Sniper rifle that sells for about three times the price of the Ruger.
