    How to configure the RPR bolt so I can check bump on brass

    I can do that. I have a comparator. I was also wanting to go ahead and chamber it long and ease it back just enough to have about 0.002" headspace.

    How to configure the RPR bolt so I can check bump on brass

    Hello, I have a set of Redding Precision Shell Holders so I can bump the shoulder back on my brass minimally and still chamber it fine (probably looking for about 0.002" headspace gap). This is for an RPR. Anyways, besides using a Hornady comparator to compare between once fired brass and the...

    Ruger RPR (enhanced gen 2) and attaching magnetospeed sport

    I am trying to attach a magnetospeed sporter to a Ruger Precision Rifle enhanced which has the factory muzzle brake. It appears the barrel is a heavier taper than my other guns and the bayonet is obviously not in line with a cleaning rod i got hanging out of the barrel bore. The bayonet will get...

    RPR, looking for different options for single loading

    I would like to single load a RPR in 6.5 creedmoor that is wrapped under the xmas tree (can't play with it yet). I have seen the Bob Sled AI 308 being offered on the Ruger store site at around $55. If I can do it reliably and cheaper, that would be better. I heard the Pmags that come with it...

    Bore guide options for Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creed

    I sent possum hollow an email and they have bore guides for the Ruger American with the 0.85 bolt diameter. They aren't shown on their lineup yet but they have them. I ordered one. It will have an o-ring and a port as well. Looking forward to seeing how this guide is going to work out. I hear...

    Bore guide options for Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creed

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for some options for a bore guide for cleaning my RAP in 6.5 creedmoor. It appears the guides I have been able to find are for 0.700" bolt diameters, but the RAP has a 0.850" diameter. Any help in finding a universal and/or specific bore guide for my rifle is...

    Ruger American Pred In 6.5creed, Need To Move Scope Closer

    Do I have to worry about the rail being specifically made for the RAP? I saw one like/similar to yours at Midway, but it said it was for the Rem700. Maybe the curvature of the barrels are the same. I would assume the bolt holes/pattern is the same for the weaver rails, just didn't know about...

    Ruger American Pred In 6.5creed, Need To Move Scope Closer

    I have a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Vortex 6.5x20-50 Viper scope. The eye relief at high magnification is short and with the scope set all the way back, I still need to move from my natural cheek weld just a small bit forward toward the scope to get a full view through the...

    Ruger American 6.5 Creedmoor, muzzle break recommendation

    Loving the 6.5 creedmoor! The American Predator has a little more kick than I expected, I believe due to the lightweight stock. I'm considering putting a muzzle break on it. What are some good ones out there that don't break the bank. I see some that are bored for 223 and 308, but I'm hoping to...

    How can I single load an American Predator, magazine trouble

    Huntsman22 thanks for your help. That video makes it look pretty easy. I don't have as much luck hittin' the hole. Especially when someone else wants to shoot my rifle. I wish someone sold an insert or something similar that would allow you to drop it into the extraction port and then the bolt...

    How can I single load an American Predator, magazine trouble

    I have a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. The magazine is very unreliable. I have received a replacement and it is better but still has trouble. I am looking for the best way to single load ammo into the rifle. Is there some sort of insert I can get to put in place of the magazine? I...

    Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creed - Shiny spot on brass

    Chief 101, if you don't mind me asking, what is it you are polishing and how are you doing it? What causes this scraping on the brass. It would seem it isn't suppose to do that. Were you able to fix it from doing that?

    Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creed - Shiny spot on brass

    Hello, I am brand new to the forum and have a question I was hoping you all could answer. I apologize in advance if this has been asked before. I have a new 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger American Predator that produces a weird shiny mark on the first third of the neck of the brass after...
