USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) proudly announces that the popular Ruger Precision Rifle is now chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum and .300 Winchester Magnum.
These new magnum caliber models pair exceptional long-range accuracy potential with tremendous down-range energy, broadening the appeal of an already very popular rifle.
These rifles feature a heavy-contour barrel (0.875″ at the muzzle) as well as a Ruger Precision® Rifle Magnum Muzzle Brake with a tunable compensator to effectively reduce recoil and muzzle jump. They also feature a hard-coat anodized, 18″ free-float handguard configured with Magpul M-LOK accessory attachment slots on all four sides for improved scope clearance and easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories. Integral QD sling attachment points eliminate the need for additional adaptors and a flat bottom 1.50″ dovetail is compatible with RRS S.O.A.R. and similar QD systems.
Like all Ruger Precision Rifles, these new models feature a highly accurate, free-floated barrel that is cold hammer-forged from 4140 chrome-moly steel with 5R rifling for minimum bullet upset. Minimum bore and groove dimensions (air-gauged for process control) and a centralized chamber deliver outstanding accuracy, longevity, and ease of cleaning.
The .338 Lapua Magnum model features a 1:9.375″ twist rate while the .300 Winchester Magnum model features a 1:9″ twist, both of which stabilize long-for-caliber projectiles. These rifles ship with two, 5-round AI-Style magazines.
The Ruger Precision Rifle is also equipped with an AR-style left-folding stock with adjustable comb height and length of pull, and ergonomic pistol grip. The magnum caliber models feature a 30 MOA Picatinny rail and the Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger, which provides a user-adjustable pull weight range between 2.25 and 5 pounds.
The value of the Ruger Precision Rifle is unmatched. With top-tier accuracy, adjustable ergonomics and the rugged reliability for which Ruger is renowned, these new chambering options broaden the Ruger Precision Rifle’s utility across a wide range of readily available ammunition.

$80 for an extra magazine? Seriously? (300 WM)
My local firearm shop has these now @ 1,499.00 Sweet!
I own several RPRs in 6 mm and 6.5 creedmoor used on oour 1000 yard range. They are way to heavy to carry in the field hunting and are meant for target shooting and possible fixed position varmit shooting. 300 win mag and 338 lapua would be significantly heavier. Not practical much for hunting
Very well said, the ruger M77-270 short Mag is a great idea.
Rifle for the rich man / woman. That said . I wish I were rich. I’d get one of each !!

The guns have multiple round clips. They are combat style rifles. There are plenty of hunting rifles out there with limited round capacity. If you want a deer rifle go buy a deer rifle. Ruger does make a mini 30 and you can get all sorts of wood stocks for that rifle. It isn’t a long range rifle but it’s a lot more accurate than an AK. Plenty of knock down power. You probably won’t go deer hunting with it but it would be nice for hogs.
I could have missed it, but I swear I did not see a barrel length in there! I saw handguard length, I saw twist rates, I saw the information about the adjustable muzzle brake, but Nary a word I believe about barrel length!
If this thing was three hundred bucks cheaper it would be in the rain!
It’s about time Ruger made the big brother version.
MSRP, since the writer cannot for whatever reason include it, is $2099.00 for either.
