Ruger RPR, Generation 4 - any experience of one?

[Mike 01]

Has anyone actually tried one of the new Ruger RPRs, i.e. the Generation 4, with the heavier barrel and the straight pistol grip - ideally the Magnum version? It does seem like quite a significant development of the RPR, compared to previous Generations. If you've had experience of one of these, it would be interesting to hear your views.

Thanks.

I have a 1st generation 308 that is marvelously accurate -Muir

Gen 3 shoots ½ MOA in 6.5cm

Thanks Muir and Moose67, that's interesting to hear.

Has anyone got experience with the Magnum version? It looks like a major scaling up in weight and size. Thanks.

I witnessed a Gen 1 , 6.5 CM deliver five consecutive, 5 shot groups averaging .301" at 200 yards. Smallest was .256" if i recall correctly.-Muir

3 chaps at my club shoot 300WM RPRs not sure which gen they. The rifles are very heavily built.
They look like 338s. Their groups seem to be very tight and they have all hit a mile at Orion with no issues.

Many thanks for your input on this one.

Following this as I'm looking at possibly getting one in 6.5prc. I've held one but never actually shot it.
I know they take an aics mag as well as the standard one so can you load longer than factory rounds which is a bonus.
