Sturm Ruger & Company is updating and giving its popular line of precision rifles a facelift after a decade of sales. Originally launched in 2015, the Ruger Precision Rifle is a chassis-style, bolt-action rifle that’s match-ready while also being very affordable. Its design and layout makes the Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) suitable for PRS, NRL and field-style precision shooting in general. For 2025, the latest versions include an upgraded rear stock and the addition of a selection of new and/or popular competition calibers like 6mm GT, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC or .300 PRC. In addition, the Ruger Precision Rifle family is also available in well-established chamberings including .308 Win, .338 Lapua Mag, 6.5mm Creedmoor or .300 Win. Mag.
Doug Koenig, Team Ruger Captain and winner of the Production Division of the 2024 Hornady Precision Rifle Challenge, worked closely with Ruger engineers to make meaningful, competition-ready upgrades to the Ruger Precision Rifle.
“We focused on combining the RPR’s reliability and precision with more adjustability to fit every shooter,” said Koenig. “Knowing I can fine-tune my rifle to fit my exact needs means I head into every match with confidence. This rifle is designed to support competitive shooters at the highest level.”
The new Ruger Precision Rifle facelift provides customers with both off-the-shelf production models or rifles worked over by the Ruger Custom Shop. Custom Shop rifles include additional details like an adjustable TriggerTech two-stage trigger with a crisp break, minimal overtravel and an extremely short reset. They also use stainless steel heavy contour barrels with installed muzzle brakes to aid in felt-recoil reduction and to make them more competitive. Finally, Ruger Custom Shop rifles include a barricade stop on the front of the magazine well along with a gray Cerakote coating on the magazine well, handguard, and stock body.
