The Ruger Precision Rifle, often referred to as the “RPR,” has been a mainstay of the precision rifle shooting community since its introduction in 2015. That’s a big statement, because the precision rifle shooting community is pickier than a 600-yard shot in a 15-mph wind. After years of feedback from competitive shooters, the RPR is…
