Finally, the Precision Rifle's design is a natural for us gear heads who need to change parts and accessories to suit personal taste and preference, without cutting barrel threads and chambers on a lathe.
Before I go wandering through the Ruger Precision Rifle....
The mechanical design and features are too interesting and too extensive to not look at in greater detail, and that is exactly what we are going to attempt. However, recognizing that while screw hex head size and hinges are very exciting to some, the same can cause others to fall into tedium induced sleep and go nose over on their respective desks. So we'll start with how the Ruger Precision Rifle performed and then follow on to mechanical detail.
A Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44mm scope with CMR-W 7.62 reticle was installed on the Precision Rifle with a Leupold Mark 6 34mm Integral Mount. With the rifle's comb cranked up a bit, the scope's placement was ideal, forming a natural line of sight through the scope's centerline and providing plenty of support. Based on clarity, brightness and contrast of image, the Mark 6 is truly an exceptional scope in a very compact package, an excellent match with the Ruger Precision Rifle.
