unboxing a Ruger Precision Rimfire

[rws]

see Ruger's Precision Rimfire webpage for all the details


















I put a UTG 3-12x32 Mini SWAT Mil-dot scope on it for initial test firing hopefully for tomorrow.

I had no idea such a thing existed. Tempting. Thanks.

That is on my list. It looks like a lot of fun. Does it use 10/22 mags?

Per ruger.com “Accepts all 10/22 magazines.”

Oh great. Now you have started that itchy credit card feeling for one in a centerfire caliber.

Have taken mine to the range twice. Have it sighted in at 50 yards and is quickly becoming a favorite 22 rifle. Still working on finding its favorite round but so far it is a nail driver with the two Federal types I have put through it.

You drank the kool-aid I see!

i'll take it. oops, wrong section. darn it, I already spent my social security check for this month. beautiful rifle. lee

I'm curious about these. I've heard mixed reviews concerning accuracy. Let us know how it runs.

[mauser9]

Sure looks like it would be super accurate. New one on me too!

[Breakaway500]

That is one funky chicken.

I bought one of these rifles. I LOVE IT. It is so accurate. I find that the bolt is really snug. I put grease on it and that seems to make it smoother.

[mauser9]

Sure looks deadly accurate. Have heard about them from magazine articles. Think Ruger does a decent job still on their guns. Due have the Ruger American in 22 magnum. Accurate as heck with the CCI 40 grain ammo.Let us know how you do at the range.

Three weeks ago I bought one of the 22wmr versions and put a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x40 AO scope on it. I’ve had it out twice and not gotten to shoot it over 50 yds yet but have high hoes for it based on my 50 yd results. I tried 4 different loads and it doesn’t seem to make much difference what I put through it. I have another couple of brands ordered and will see how they shoot.

My last trip out, I had perfectly calm air. No wind at all but was trying to beat the sunset.

50 yds doesn’t challenge its accuracy at all so if the weather holds this week I’ll shoot 100 yds.

The attached target is at 50 yds and you can see my finger tip to give scale. Three other brands were about as tight. All were 5 shot groups. I just need to get out more and practice.

With a Weaver T-10 scope mounted, on a dead-calm morning and using SK Long Range Match ammo, my Ruger Precision Rimfire delivers 1/4 to 3/8 inch five shot groups at 50 yards, 3/4 to 1 inch at 100 yards, but only about Minute of Beer Can at 200 yards. This may be because, so far, it still has less than 500 total rounds through it.

One necessary thing, though: Be sure the stock adjustment tension is set just about as stiff as you can make, and still operate it, to eliminate any possible stock movement.

Well....I still like my stainless 77/22 with the old boat paddle stock
