    My one looks like its been fired a bit before I got it , as the bolt face is marked my primer etc , the bolt has been finished quite roughly , lots of machining marks etc , can you get shorter hand guards for them ?

    Mines in 6.5 and at the moment I have no brass or dies to make ammo for it , the other RPR that came into New Plymouth was a 308 version .

    So mine will not be shoot until I have the ammo sorted & a set of high 34mm rings to mount a scope on her , what I donot like is the way they have made the keymod attachments , nothing like the simple way AI makes their keymod stuff .
    Will maybe use a Phoenix bipod on it , if I can .

    I heard that the factory is running 24/7 for a while now "trying" to keep up with the demand, I hope RUGER don't start to let the "quantity" get over their quality during production.

    Good luck to us in the "very far" end of the delivery line.

    I had to put 300-400 rds thru my AI AW , before their was any sign of primer marking , so quite surprised at the condition of the bolt face from NEW , they have a lot of features for their price point , so far overal impression is very good , I will also put a MAE SS suppressor on the front end if it fits , it should as its the same thread pattern .

    Also be good to see what the Phoenix bipod feels like on this rifle .

    In a week or so I Bert from ODL will down here shooting the 338LM suppressor for sound testing etc , I will show him the RPR and see what he thinks , I think one of his QD cans on his QD muzzle brake ( threaded for 5/8 x 24 ) , will be the perfect can set up for this rifle , size wise , what I would be after is basically his AI 300WM can made for his QD design , in 30 cal , means you can run all 3 Ruger chamberings thru the same can , ie 6, 6.5 & 7.62 .

    That would be the cats pyjammas
