I recently got one of these and had to go to loading because the ammo is so fargin' expensive. I have been doing 60-100rds a week for the past 4 weeks. I haven't even looked at my Remington 700 or ARs since I got it. Having a range 10mins from the office is a blessing and a curse.

Thank you so much, it nice to hear that people enjoy our videos, we are a newer and smaller channel but we are trying to grow. It’s encouraging to hear from fans that enjoy our work so thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Man, I honestly have to say that this review is excellent!! It's in depth, but not boring, and even the fact that you threw in the prices of ammo and options, it seems like a much more amazing piece of equipment! Thank you for this awesome review, my friend!!
Thanks Bud! Ya it is a nice rifle, we took it out to SpearPoint ranch in KS and were hitting at 2200 yards with it. It is very accurate. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching.
OK, so my .338 is a Savage with a Millett 1/4moa 6x50 sitting on top. I love the .338! Be it Ruger or Savage, except for the cost of ammo, it is hard to beat when it counts waaaay out there. At 100yds, pass throughs are typical. Thanks for featuring the LaPua, for us older guys with plenty of accumulated valor under our belts, sitting somewhere being part of the solution instead of running around with an AR or AK makes this gun a perfect niche matchup.
If they would have launched the long actions earlier I would have bought one. I ended up getting the Savage 110 Stealth for my Lapua. It's still a nice rig.
I bought this rifle today. I'm in Australia and paid $3995. So much more expensive here. Also don't get to pick it up for another 30 days. The wait is roughly 30 days for each different calibre. However if I buy another .338 then I won't have to wait as long. If I go and buy a .22 for the first time, i still have to wait 30 days.... sigh... Another thing us Aussies have to put up with :(
Terminator TF ..cuts recoil in almost 1/3 off the factory break ($300 from Terminator website made just for the .338 RPR) th-cam.com/video/coGrmw-wYHo/w-d-xo.html
Savage also has QA issues, but with a little TLC and work you’ll have an accurate rifle, at an affordable price. I prefer the Savage 110FCP in .338 Lapua Magnum. Good hunting/target setup. Prefer it to lugging a .50 Barrett around. Gotta reload.

@@tacticaltuner4217 I am looking forward to it. I am looking initially at the Athlon Optics Argos BTR Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 6-24x50mm but have seen some mixed reviews. Which Bi-pod do you have mounted and do you perfer that one versus one with Can+?
I would go with the Midas or better. The scope you pick will need be be a good enough scope to manage the harder recoil of the 338 so I would go with the Midas and/or Ares if you can. Make sure you get good precision rings. Check out XLR, they have good quality ting for around $60 bucks. Good luck with it bud! You will love it.
I would disagree with your assessment of Ruger's customer service. I know 4 weeks isn't too bad, but honestly, it's not really trying too hard either. If you've got a 1500-2k rifle that is defective out of the box, they should just send you a brand new replacement, fix the one you send back then sell the repaired one on as refurb or whatever. But for the amount of money you put down, you have every right to expect a flawless piece out of the box, ready to go. I personally would have been harsher on them in the video.
My gun store offers a indefinite lifetime warranty . As long as you live or own it. for a fee of 80 dollars. Gun store pays shipping if you need to send gun to the company. If the company can't fix it. the gun store will replace your gun for free. U get a brand new gun.
Why is the price difference so extreme between ammo components vs fully assembled ammo? In automated factories it's super quick and shouldn't cost much at all to squeeze the parts together. What makes finished rounds so pricey and components so cheap?
Most long range ranges here in the DFW area are member only accept one which is a drive away and that means I hardly ever get my 6.5 out to distance so a .338 would be a waste of money for me. That being said it does look like a real nice rig
Ya that is the only bad thing with rifles like this is we’re do you shoot them. We have a club here with 600yd max range and I am having to drive 6hrs to KS for a 2200 yd range. But that isn’t always possible for most people. Thanks for watching the video thought, I appreciated the support!
John Hermesmeyer 100yds is the longest range within 100 miles here in Georgia, that being said I'm saving up for one... "If the females can has they shoes and dresses, dis old boy can has his rifle..."
John Hermesmeyer I just got a Weatherby Fiberguard 30-06 and I've been wanting to reach out and poke something with it but Georgia is way to crowded for any long range shooting.
@@deanconn8253 the two ranges you dont have to be a member and are 1000+ closest to me are ETS and CCC. Triple C is about a hour and 15 minutes away and ETS is 45 minutes both doable but I already have a RPR in 6.5 and a M40 in 308 so I'd can shoot those and be happy. Would a .338 be cool yes but my main shooting fun is pistol so id rather spend money on a CZ shadow 2 for production class and eventually a 2011 for Limited, I already shoot revolver minor with a 929
Heavy-contour (.875" at the muzzle) barrel features a Ruger Precision® Rifle Magnum Muzzle Brake with a tunable compensator to effectively reduce recoil and muzzle jump.
Long action don’t topically print tight at close range compared to cartridges like 308 or 6.5. This is a very accurate rifle at long range and extreme long range. It will group wider at close range but hold the group longer and handle transonic zones better. We are using Lapua brass, Hornady 285’s ELDs and are hitting almost every round at a mile, and most rounds at 2200 with this rifle. We are planning on taking it to 2 mile next year.
If your still reading comments please send me a link to the place u got that for that price I hope you know how well you did I dont know if you are a ffl dealer and got a discount or that store is selling at that price
Handguard and mussel break were both mounted crooked from the factory? Took a month to get it back? He seems unconcerned about that. I would have returned it for a better rifle.
henderjess900 I was going to buy one of these and after seeing this I’m really reconsidering that because I understand one mistake but both the hand guard and the muzzle break are wrong from the factory!? That’s BS and makes me really concerned about other major issues that may come around later on down the line when it won’t be possible to send it back due to it being “broken in.” I really want this rifle but dang you’re absolutely correct. That shit shouldn’t happen. No argument can possibly refute that at all!
Interesting, I picked one up as well with a crooked muzzle brake. Kind of disappointed Ruger isn't catching that, and it seems it's not isolated. The brake is on extremely tight, and there are conflicting instructions on how to remove between the standard and the supplemental magnum manual. Did you remove the brake, or have Ruger do it? Mine is on extremely tight.
I just had Ruger do it. I figured I had to send it to them anyways so may as well let them do it. I agree they need better quality control. You May want to give them a call to confirm the instructions, their customer service was pretty good. Well Good luck bud, hope its not to much of a headache for ya.
mine was a bit off as well. it really wasn't a big deal to correct it. I just assume that looked over things like this just contribute to keeping the cost of the rifle down. anybody with any kind of mechanical intuition and common sense can tweek these little imperfections themselves at home with basic tools. some people can get really critical with the quality of a gun when they get it home... but lets call a spade a spade... for about $1700 shipped , you got a gun than can be consistently accurate at over 1000 yards. so if i have to do a bit of research and work at home to dial mine in, im ok with it. plus i have more time than money and its fun to lean stuff along the way. I have a couple friends who are somewhat gunsmiths and have much more knowledge than I about guns, say its pretty common to have to inspect and adjust parts on a brand new gun no matter what make or model or style. if i spent $15k on an accuracy international or something i would expect it to come in perfect working condition. i truly believe that with a little bit of time and effort i will have mine shooting better than a $5k gun of some guy who doesn't want to put the time in or understand what his gun needs to be better. mine shoots great. there was a couple things i had to address like the crooked muzzle brake, the hand guard was set a little funky. i had to snugg a couple screws... no big deal.
the handguards were out of round do to the mounting hold being drilled wrong and the muzzle brake was crooked and would not move, I am guessing they used red locktite instead of blue. I wasn't going to mess up the finish on a brand new rifle trying to fix it when I already had to send it in to get the handguard fixed. The fixed in fast and gave me a free mag for my trouble so they took good care of me.
Regardless if you were just doing a barrel break in, 100yrds for that rifle is just wasting money on the already expensive ammo. I have my sights set on one of these and I sure the hell wouldnt waste my money on ammo just to shoot 100yrds. Aside from that, next time you do a video, work on the audio, could hardly hear you even inside that office. Great video though, good video of the rifle being shot with the different angles not to mention the badass rifle itself....cheers 🍻🍻🍻
I agree man! Something that simple they should get right. Especially being that it will jack up accuracy if not corrected, and with an ELR rifle you can’t have that.
I don't like the handguard. I like the 308 handguard bc it has the picatanny rail across the whole top. Only way I can buy it. I'd if they sold it one piece at a time .
It is in stock however it looks like they raised their price. I paid $1429 for it in Nov 2018. Now they want $1649. I’d shop around. www.gunsinc.com/products/rifles-ruger-18080-736676180806-2598
I talked to the guys at Gunsinc and they said they are planning on lowering the price again. They raised the price only temporarily because they could not keep up with the enormous amount of orders they were getting on this rifle. So to slow things down they raise the price just for a little while until they catch up.
You will never get the same accuracy with a semi auto or with the barrel contour of the Browning. We have taken this thing out past 2,000 yard on a 20in x 20in target. However would never take it hunting. Ya the Browning would be better for hunting for sure.
I went with Spuhr 34mm on my RPR 6.5mm. Those folks at Spuhr are super great at assisting you with exact fitting model of scope base/ring for your scope to rifle. I am putting the same setup on my RPR .338 L
🤔 WHY on earth do you buy a cal 338 to shoot at a 100 yard range ???? I thourght I was going to See some long range shooting with this riffel ?😖 I can hit target with my 100+ year old Swedish Husqvarna iron sights and eyes closed at a 100 yards...
We were just doing a barrel break in. These were the first shot with this rifle. We did take it out to 2200yds last summer. That kind of distance is alittle harder to film.
Must be alot of these with bad quality control just got mine muzzle brake not straight and handgaurd retaining nuts holes not drilled center with the holes in hand guard wtf Ruger😠
I've been noticing many buyers having this issue. I don't want to purchase a $1,400 rifle only to send it back for repairs. Hopefully, a gen2 will be out with better quality parts soon.
That’s sucks man, all I can tell you is that Ruger will fix the problems if you send it to them. Make sure you ask them for a free Mag if you due. They gave me one, That’s an $80 mag. Good luck bud.
like may firearms manufacturers their are some time lemons especially with new rifles, however Ruger took great care of us. The 338 vs of the RPR was still pretty new when we posted this video. That being said this rifle has been great. We took it out to KS and were hitting a 22inx22in steel target at 2200yrd with very little effort.
Ruger should of sent you a brand new rifle the day that twisted shit house got there and they realized they dropped the ball on quality control should not of made you wait a month to have the product you paid for and deserve to be able to use a product you spent your hard earned money on its not like you dropped it and twisted something. If I buy anything and it was manufactured like shit I not only don't want that one I'm not waiting a month for them to fix something that should of never left the plant. I mean what else did they miss on their shit job of making that item. I'm glad I seen this before I purchased 1..... Savage 110 BA it is
I think it’s a good rifle once it’s fixed but ya I agree they need better quality control especially for a long range caliber rifle that needs to be built precise.
You have obviously never tried to make your own review video, some times you make mistakes while filming. Did you know see the text right at this part of the video we’re I corrected the Mag capacity.
This is my problem with your video (1) Sound, had to turn my sound way up on my TV try putting a mic on you instead of using the mic on the camera , (2) You didn't say anything about dies when telling people about reloading you can't do any of that with out the dies. (3) I found cheaper ammo then what you found do your research. ammograb.com
Thanks for letting me know about the audio, we have since bout better wireless mic’s. Audio is a pain out doors even with bad good mic’s if your on a budget. Die’s are a setup cost same as a press and everything else, I was just focused on ammo cost. Prices may be better now for cheap ammo, I bought this ammo a year ago and local not online. Thanks for the heads up on the audio and thanks for watching.
Agreed however there are people that for some reason like an unboxing segment. Since I am making videos for everyone and not just one person I try to include a little of everything, and I did try and make the unboxing portion go quickly. What you can do is “Fast forward” move the slider past the unboxing segment then continue watching if the unboxing portion is not for you. Thanks for watching.

dude, i want this. like i really wanna own one of these.
Hands down the best review of this gun. I'm really juggling whether to get this or a Daniel Defense AR10 6.5 creedmore..
If they would have launched the long actions earlier I would have bought one. I ended up getting the Savage 110 Stealth for my Lapua. It's still a nice rig.
Savage is a nice rifle also! I was planning on getting it until I see they were releasing the RPR in 338
Love your cost breakdown, seriously considering grabbing one. Weighing up vs .300winmag and .300prc
I bought this rifle today. I'm in Australia and paid $3995. So much more expensive here. Also don't get to pick it up for another 30 days. The wait is roughly 30 days for each different calibre. However if I buy another .338 then I won't have to wait as long. If I go and buy a .22 for the first time, i still have to wait 30 days.... sigh... Another thing us Aussies have to put up with :(
Sorry to hear that but! That’s got to be rough. It will be worth the wait though.
I love how visible the muzzle blast is in the cold weather
Wish you could have see I in person!
Great review, just bought one. Kinda wanting to replace the muzzle brake, seems like overkill for it's size

IMI is discontinued on Midway, and out of stock on another site.
Savage also has QA issues, but with a little TLC and work you’ll have an accurate rifle, at an affordable price. I prefer the Savage 110FCP in .338 Lapua Magnum. Good hunting/target setup. Prefer it to lugging a .50 Barrett around. Gotta reload.

I don't like the handguard. I like the 308 handguard bc it has the picatanny rail across the whole top. Only way I can buy it. I'd if they sold it one piece at a time .
FYI, Mrgundealer has these in stock for $1455.99. Here is the link. www.mrgundealer.com/shop/precision-300win-26%60-51-mlok-44991
Do you have a link to their website, can’t seem to find it
Here ya go. Looks like they are out of stock right now. www.gunsinc.com
It is in stock however it looks like they raised their price. I paid $1429 for it in Nov 2018. Now they want $1649. I’d shop around.

TacticalTuner Thanks! Yah I am.
I talked to the guys at Gunsinc and they said they are planning on lowering the price again. They raised the price only temporarily because they could not keep up with the enormous amount of orders they were getting on this rifle. So to slow things down they raise the price just for a little while until they catch up.

Browning BAR style Safari .338 WM autoloader, 5 shot, clip fed with scope goes for about $1,000.00 plus shipping. Easier carry for hunting.
You will never get the same accuracy with a semi auto or with the barrel contour of the Browning. We have taken this thing out past 2,000 yard on a 20in x 20in target.
However would never take it hunting. Ya the Browning would be better for hunting for sure.
are those scope rings high or medium and what size is your scope? Im getting the very same rifle the reason why I ask.
These are 1.45 ring which work fine off a bench but not prone. I am going to switch to a spur mount.
@@tacticaltuner4217 what size scope do you have on it?
It is a 34mm Athlon Cronus
I went with Spuhr 34mm on my RPR 6.5mm. Those folks at Spuhr are super great at assisting you with exact fitting model of scope base/ring for your scope to rifle. I am putting the same setup on my RPR .338 L
338 lupua =300wm?
what???
@@tawaitai Sorry. The information is wrong
Not even close I have both the 338 is quite a bit larger and longer range
🤔 WHY on earth do you buy a cal 338 to shoot at a 100 yard range ????
I thourght I was going to See some long range shooting with this riffel ?😖
I can hit target with my 100+ year old Swedish Husqvarna iron sights and eyes closed at a 100 yards...
We were just doing a barrel break in. These were the first shot with this rifle. We did take it out to 2200yds last summer. That kind of distance is alittle harder to film.
Speak up, boy!!
HaHa, I have this rifle. Look out zombie
Must be alot of these with bad quality control just got mine muzzle brake not straight and handgaurd retaining nuts holes not drilled center with the holes in hand guard wtf Ruger😠
I've been noticing many buyers having this issue. I don't want to purchase a $1,400 rifle only to send it back for repairs. Hopefully, a gen2 will be out with better quality parts soon.
That’s sucks man, all I can tell you is that Ruger will fix the problems if you send it to them. Make sure you ask them for a free Mag if you due. They gave me one, That’s an $80 mag. Good luck bud.
@@tacticaltuner4217 thanx for the info I'll be sure to ask for a mag just an inconvenience did Ruger pay the shipping both ways for you
Timothy Gray - yes they paid for shipping both ways and gave me a free mag. I did have to ask for the mag though.
@@tacticaltuner4217great works for me thank you for all the info very helpful
Wait, 4140 steel? really? that's it? why such cheap steel?
I didnt build it I just reviewed it. We took it out to 2200 yds to it got the job done for us.
How come they write "precision weapon", when the riffle is no good from the factory 🤔 " make America great again"
like may firearms manufacturers their are some time lemons especially with new rifles, however Ruger took great care of us. The 338 vs of the RPR was still pretty new when we posted this video. That being said this rifle has been great. We took it out to KS and were hitting a 22inx22in steel target at 2200yrd with very little effort.
Ruger should of sent you a brand new rifle the day that twisted shit house got there and they realized they dropped the ball on quality control should not of made you wait a month to have the product you paid for and deserve to be able to use a product you spent your hard earned money on its not like you dropped it and twisted something. If I buy anything and it was manufactured like shit I not only don't want that one I'm not waiting a month for them to fix something that should of never left the plant. I mean what else did they miss on their shit job of making that item. I'm glad I seen this before I purchased 1..... Savage 110 BA it is
Everyone's cry'in about how much it cost to shoot. Hahaha look at a box of ttsx or vld 30-378 ammo.
Too much detail out of quality for the all ready cheap precentatio of cartón box...🤔
Seems to be quality control so will stay away from this one.
I think it’s a good rifle once it’s fixed but ya I agree they need better quality control especially for a long range caliber rifle that needs to be built precise.
Dingo Kitt what is wrong with it? I thought it was fine.
Obviously this man doesnt know much about weapons. 10 round mags etc.
You have obviously never tried to make your own review video, some times you make mistakes while filming. Did you know see the text right at this part of the video we’re I corrected the Mag capacity.
This is my problem with your video (1) Sound, had to turn my sound way up on my TV try putting a mic on you instead of using the mic on the camera , (2) You didn't say anything about dies when telling people about reloading you can't do any of that with out the dies. (3) I found cheaper ammo then what you found do your research. ammograb.com
Thanks for letting me know about the audio, we have since bout better wireless mic’s. Audio is a pain out doors even with bad good mic’s if your on a budget. Die’s are a setup cost same as a press and everything else, I was just focused on ammo cost. Prices may be better now for cheap ammo, I bought this ammo a year ago and local not online. Thanks for the heads up on the audio and thanks for watching.
Sorry I can't watch this the audio is terrible
Unboxing. What a waste of time. I'll summarize it for you. The box is opened. You look in the box. You take (fill in the blank) out of the box. Done.
Agreed however there are people that for some reason like an unboxing segment. Since I am making videos for everyone and not just one person I try to include a little of everything, and I did try and make the unboxing portion go quickly. What you can do is “Fast forward” move the slider past the unboxing segment then continue watching if the unboxing portion is not for you. Thanks for watching.
