First upgrades for the Ruger Precision Rimfire Apex Bag Rider MDT EVG Vertical Grip Arca Rail from Sawtooth Rifles Most parts are available at Anarchy Outdoors
Thank-you for taking the time to explain not only why you are making each modification, but also how these modifications can apply when one is participating at an event.
Hi from Oz! Great reviews on your Accessories there in USA. Wow Choices! We cant get here in Oz. Restrictions here. Import Regs. Shipping! Shortages! Blah, Blah! Im very jelly for what you Guys have and can get! Enjoy Your Vids! Cheers! Rick.
Looks great. Post links to the products or a link tree if you can't post links like that on TH-cam. Maybe even the full product name in the video description.
Great series, thanks for posting this. I was originally thinking about a small picatinny section for the bipod, but after watching I a, looking at Arca mounts, appreciate the real world advice. I am thinking about the area 419 arca lock system, that is compatible I think with most arca rails, the downside seems to be if someone wanted to borrow my equipment, the lock pins would need to be removed before it could be used on their rails. Have you heard anything about that system? As an FYI, I just bought my RPR rimfire with vortex diamondback tactical FFP 6-24/50, hopefully will come in under cost for base class, MSRP had gone up a bit, but I think with the rifle still makes it into the $1200 range. The vortex guy got me all excited about the strike eagle, but I avoided that after I watched your series, wasn’t aware of the cost limitation. So helpful, we all appreciate it
I have an Arca Lock rail on my PRS rifle and used it with an Atlas bipod with an Arca Lock mount, very stable system. You're right, the pins would need to be removed for a standard Arca/RRS dovetail rail. For NRL22 the recoil will never be enough to strictly need the Arca Lock system. The Area419 rails still accept any standard Arca mount so you don't need to go with their mounts. I think a more universal M-Lok Arca rail is a place you can save money, but Area419 stuff is top notch. The Strike Eagle is a great scope and that's what I use on my Open rifle, but almost always makes you breach the cost cap for base class. I hope for next year they raise the limit due to rising prices/inflation. The PRS Rimfire series has a production class with a cap of $1500, but there aren't any matches in my area. Ultimately gear makes a marginal difference in performance that you can chase when you become a top contender. Ammo lot testing and trigger time are the keys to success in this sport. Best of luck! You should be very happy with your rifle!
Very interesting build video ! Learning a lot of info, and getting some new and improved ideas from you. I'm older in years, but still enjoy putting holes in paper. Just curious, can a 22 WMR be used in the type of competition you speak about ?
Would love to find that ARCA rail. Went to their site and the site didn’t work very well. Do you have a link? Thanks great video and it helps a lot showing that M-Lok trick thanks
www.sawtoothrifles.com/product/dovetail-rail-ruger-precision-rimfire-rifle/ www.anarchyoutdoors.com/arca-swiss-hand-guard-adapter-for-ruger-precision/ (for the second link make sure that you choose the Ruger Rimfire from the dropdown)
I got mine at Anarchy Outdoors (looks like they are currently on backorder). I don't have the original packaging, but the number on the rail is 1375 RPRF (which stands for 13.75" Ruger Precision Rimfire). Doing a search for "Ruger Precision Rimfire Arca Rail" should come up with links to purchase (I can't link here due to TH-cam Rules). Hope that helps.
I got mine from Anarchy Outdoors, but Masterpiece Arms has 4 in stock right now (they make the grip). Search "MPA EVG Grip (Enhanced Vertical Grip)" on Google. Should be in the first few links (can't link here due to TH-cam rules). You more than likely will need to do a little bit of work to make it fit correctly. I used a Dremel with a sandpaper wheel/grinding wheel. You could use coarse sandpaper by hand, just might take you longer. Go slow and remove a little bit of material at a time until you get a nice flush fit.
The bits are these (I have a set of SAE, Metric, and Torx): amzn.to/46o1p8K I use this bit adapter: amzn.to/49FwaJ1 To attach to my 1/4 drive torque wrench: amzn.to/47sT8Bs
That's an unnecessarily strict interpretation of the rules and flat out wrong in my opinion. Hand grips are specifically mentioned in the rules as an item that does not add to the budget (and by extension must be an acceptable change). Also, this isn't a stock, it's a chassis. It has a pic rail section specifically designed for attachments. So you aren't altering it, you're just adding an accessory in an intended location. Same goes for the grip, it is not an integral part of the chassis, so you aren't altering it. If you started taking a hacksaw to the structural components then I could see that being in violation of the rules, but as it stands these are perfectly legal upgrades.

Showing off a black rifle and accessories on a black background is something that could be changed to improve your video from the viewer’s perspective….
No it does not. Per NRL22 rules for Base Class it is allowed (Rule 5.B.3.a) and does not count towards the budget limit. If you're competing in PRS Production Class then you can't use an aftermarket trigger.
Well done from beginning to END! Thank YOU love the simple explanations of all three...
Glad it was helpful!

You're very welcome!

Again thank you for your informative videos with this particular rifle and the correct procedure on its maintenance and mods.
Great info!!! Just bought a Ruger precision rimfire for NRL22. Looking forward to part 3. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks again sir! Enjoying this series and looking forward to part 3
Lots more to come!
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Also, you make it look way easier than it is :p

very true. and over priced in Aussie.
Great info have been considering rear bag rider for my RPR shooting ARA thanks for this series.....
You're welcome. It's probably one of the must have upgrades for the rifle. Gives you so much more control. Lots more to come!
@@CopperStarPrecision where can I purchase the bag rider from ? thank you
Looks great. Post links to the products or a link tree if you can't post links like that on TH-cam. Maybe even the full product name in the video description.
Good suggestion. Part names have been added to description (links not allowed).

Pretty cool 👍👍
Thanks 👍
When I was taking the stock off the safety spring came out can you please give me a diagram on what it looks like installed or how to install it
This other video has a good tip for that: th-cam.com/video/Q69XGrr7HvA/w-d-xo.html

Glad the videos are helpful. The NRL22 matches are limited to 22LR only.

What is the size of the rail. Found a 14” one that could work

Thanks my friend. Going to be epic
I’m at the site do you know what Anoblem is. There is an MLoc one and an Mlok Anoblem not sure what it means. Thanks
Can you please tell me the color of the chassis? is it the grey color? Hard to tell by the video. Thank you.
You didn't put whatever that tool was in the description.
Do you happen to the model number to that Arca?, I was on their portal, unable to locate it. Want to add my Atlas Bipod to it.

where did you get the grip from? I cant find that particular one.

What Allen bits are those? Nice and long
The bits are these (I have a set of SAE, Metric, and Torx):
amzn.to/46o1p8K
I use this bit adapter:
amzn.to/49FwaJ1
To attach to my 1/4 drive torque wrench:
amzn.to/47sT8Bs
@@CopperStarPrecision perfect thank you
Sir. What is the length of the rifle with the stock fully collapse?
I was told I could NOT change the grip or add a bag rider according to base class rules. Because that is changing the stock.
That's an unnecessarily strict interpretation of the rules and flat out wrong in my opinion. Hand grips are specifically mentioned in the rules as an item that does not add to the budget (and by extension must be an acceptable change). Also, this isn't a stock, it's a chassis.

If you started taking a hacksaw to the structural components then I could see that being in violation of the rules, but as it stands these are perfectly legal upgrades.
will you be adding an extended mag release or the spring button to reduce mag wobble ?
My rifle doesn't suffer from too much mag wobble, but I am looking into the extended mag release for those stages that require mag changes.
What are the wrenches?
The bits are these (I have a set of SAE, Metric, and Torx):
amzn.to/46o1p8K
I use this bit adapter:
amzn.to/49FwaJ1
To attach to my 1/4 drive torque wrench:
amzn.to/47sT8Bs
I also use Fix-it Sticks
@@CopperStarPrecision thank you for responding.
you forgot the most important part a barrel tuner !
Good info but I'm curios since you have been on TH-cam since 2014 why you only have 476 subs?
I only started making videos 3 months ago even though I've had an account for much longer. Thanks for stopping by!
@@CopperStarPrecision Got it.
@@CopperStarPrecision Not bad for only doing vids for three months
Showing off a black rifle and accessories on a black background is something that could be changed to improve your video from the viewer’s perspective….
Yes as he stated in the video
That Grip is BF Ugly and uncomfortable as hell to me, I always like my hands to be comfortable
Replacing the trigger knocks you out of base class
No it does not. Per NRL22 rules for Base Class it is allowed (Rule 5.B.3.a) and does not count towards the budget limit. If you're competing in PRS Production Class then you can't use an aftermarket trigger.
Sorry, had them mixed up
I want a monopod for the stock. Can only find about 4 on Amazon
A monopod? Most people don't use them. Are you talking about bipods?
