Ruger Precision Rifle Coming Soon!

[GUB]

Does anyone know if this rifle would work with 7.62x51 (NATO) rounds? Doesn't say anywhere that it will but I'm hoping. ;-)

All other Ruger bolt guns you can safely use .308 or 7.62x51 rds.

From my understanding 7.62x51 has lower pressures than 308 win so that's rarely an issue. The opposite is true of 5.56 and 223

Has Wanstalls confirmed a price for the Ruger Precision? Back and forth with placing orders ?? but nobody is mentioning price. $1500 + tax or 1599 + tax. Lets hear from those that have pre-ordered as a couple of requests have been made on price and nobody replied from at least what I have read. Did Wanstalls ever mention price on this thread? Thanks.

We are honoring the $1499 when we started accepting pre-orders.

My experience with 7.62x51 is that I've had issues ejecting a spent case with bolt action rifles.
I had issues with my Rem 700, Savage 10 and 11 and my Ruger American.
At least that is what I saw with the recent batch from Marstar.

Looks like a nice rifle. Looking at the design with the bolt, what are the chances of getting debris such dirt, grit or snow behind the action and having it jam? Looks like there is quite the cavity behind the bolt that could cause the bolt not to open if it was plugged. Thank you.

To get any accuracy out of this rifle, you would want to stick with 308. Not 7.62x51.

My own opinion......

I'm getting the 6.5CM to get better accuracy, forget 308.

Not helpfull in determining if the barrel is of the same design as an AR

hopefully it is so shorter light barrel options will be cheap. If the rifles weight could be reduced to the 7lb range it would make a decent option for hunting.

I have asked a number of retailers this same question about the barrel, none have been able to answer so far., wait and see I guess.

The barrel is of a different design than an AR barrel, I doubt they are threaded for a barrel extension like an AR. Ruger is using an AR nut to attach the barrel to the receiver so users can use whatever free float hand guard they want.

Between 7.62x51 and 308, 308 would be more accurate.
