The Presiscion, the Number 1, the 77, and the Hawkeye. That's like every centerfire other than the American...

I'm hoping that they are just temporary, or changing, or updating...as my Precision and and Hawkeye are both two of my favorite rifles.

The Ruger precision rifle started a entire new trend of firearms from all manufacturers when it came out. I was lucky enough to get one of the first batch of the first generations, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor when they came into Canada.
 
Effective immediately, Ruger is ceasing production of its LCR, SP101, GP100 and Bearcat revolvers. The company plans to complete its final production runs of the following models for 2026: SR1911, LC Carbine, PC Charger, PC Carbine, LC Charger, Redhawk, Super Redhawk, Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Single-Series revolvers, Vaquero, No. 1, 77-Series rifles, Hawkeye and Ruger Precision Rifle.

With this shift, Ruger's handgun product lines continuing into 2027 will consist of the company's LCP offerings, RXM, MAX-9, Security-380, Security-9, Ruger 5.7, Mark IV and 22 Charger. In its revolver line, Ruger will continue making its affordable Wrangler and Super Wrangler models.
For rifles, remaining Ruger offerings will consist of the company's American Rifle and American Rimfire line, as well as the Ruger Precision Rimfire, Harrier, 10/22 and Mini-14 models.
 
There is much better chassis & action than the Ruger precision rifle…they discontinue them because people don’t buy them period.
There is always something better, what matters is the price point. RPR wasn't the best rifle in the world, it was a great rifle for the money. A sub 3k rifle pulling off things a 5-8 k rifle does is pretty impressive. I have one, really wish I had time to shoot it.

It was a great rifle back when it came out at its $1700 CAD price point. At $3k, not very impressive.
 
I have 3 RPR rifles, 1 300 PRC and 2 308.

I bought all of them some time ago as they were a quick, easy and (at that time) not prohibitively expensive way to just jump into a "precision style" rifle. The thing to remember about them is that they are basically Ruger American rifles dropped into a chassis with a thicker barrel. I assume that as the prices increased and companies like MDT started providing chassis and the other attachments, people chose to just outfit their Americans like that so they were more personalized rather than the off the shelf RPR rifle which basically was set up generically and the final price point wasn't that different.

They could be quite accurate for an off the shelf rifle- Once I got some loads figured out the both the 308 and 300 PRC would put ten rounds into a 4 or 5" group at 475 yards which for the price at the time was pretty darn good.

All the Ruger deletions are pretty disappointing but I think with the RPR you can just build your own off an American if desired.

They’re very hard to get I wanted one but now I might have to find something else.
