Ruger "Precision" Rimfire 22.lr Rifle

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 เม.ย. 2018
- The Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle has a lot of features for the price, fully adjustable stock, AR15 pistol grip, adjustable trigger, free float hand guard, 30moa pic rail and a threaded muzzle! I was able to get .9" 10 shot groups @ 50 yards and 1.5" 10 shot groups at 100 yards using Eley Edge. Overall the rifle is good but I don't honestly think I achieved any greater accuracy over my standard Ruger American Rimfire Rifle.
I got this rifle a little more than a month ago and every kind of ammo i put through it it loves. The last time i was out i had Winchester bulk ammo from Walmart and was doing 1 inch groups at 100 yrds. It was a calm day with very little wind.
First of all, thank you for your great reviews on your channel. I really enjoy them.
I am a new shooter.... I used to shoot a bit on farms when I was younger (many years ago), but decided to get back into shooting, but try it properly now, at ranges in Brisbane (Belmont), paper targets.
I purchased this exact rifle (my first rifle ever), and a Vortex 6-24 FFP diamondback scope. I purchased the rifle and scope from Cleaver firearms in Brisbane, Australia, as that is where I live. As I was going straight from the shop to the range after, I had Cleaver mount the scope for me.
I took it to the range, the first 20 shots were horrific, as it turns out the scope wasn't sighted in, but luckily another friend of mine, (not an expert ) was with me. When I was shooting, I couldn't get on target, and could not see where the bullets were landing. Luckily he was able to get a shot on the paper target, so from there he roughly zero''d in the scope, and he handed the rifle back to me.
At 50m, I was able to get 2 groups (with 2 different types of ammo), in just under an inch (apart from one "flyer" which would have extended one group to 1.5 inch - probably technique rather than equipment). They were 10 shot groups. For anyone interested the first group was CCI Standard Velocity, and the 2nd was Federal Auto match. I also purchased some CCI Stinger, for longer range, but haven't fired a round of that yet.
We had limited time (visit to Cleaver's, voting, lunch etc), but I will go back in a fortnight when I have time to put in more hours at the range. I was really happy with this rifle's performance... it was a brand new gun, and I believe it takes a number of rounds to break in a rifle. Plus I expect it will take many more rounds for me to get to know the rifle and also for me to acquire better skills.
I would like to ask though, if you happen to read this comment, where can I find a rife coach in Brisbane? Id appreciate any comments from other viewers also.
I want to learn to be better, but I frustratingly haven't found any coaches from google searches. I'd like someone good to use my rifle and scope, with a few different types of ammo, help zero my sight properly and help me decide which ammo I will use for training/practicing, so when I go to train or practice, I can blame any bad shots purely on myself, not my equipment... I think that will help me be a much better shooter. Plus I'd like coaching on the technical aspects of shooting...
I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have to offer, or any constructive comments from other viewers. I'd also like to encourage anyone else thinking of getting into shooting, just to go out and give it a go, it is lots of fun and I found it quite rewarding to see how you can group shots. You don't have to purchase a rifle like I did, you can rent one at a range or buy a cheaper (or better) rifle. And if you choose a 22LR to practice on like me, the ammo is only 10-15 cents a round if you use similar ammo to mine, and can actually get cheaper rounds if you wish.
As a final note, I did my safety course at SSAA Brisbane which was hosted by Warwick. Warwick was a great teacher and instructor. He made the course fun, interesting and I really enjoyed it. I cannot compare the safety course at SSAA to any others, but I doubt anyone would be disappointed if they did the course at SSAA with Warwick. (Im not a friend of Warwick's and the only time I have ever met him was at the safety course).
Sorry this comment was so long, but I hope it may inspire people who aren't currently licensed, to just go out and give it a try. The first time you go to a safety course or to a range, you will see that shooters aren't blood-thirsty nuts, they are nice helpful people with a common interest in the sport. I hope you like it as much as I did, and I am certainly looking forward to my next visit to the range.
Andrew Moroney hey mate, read (and know) your scope details and how much your clicks are set to move your point of aim at a given distance. Then get a large target that will help you see your fall of shot and help you adjust your zero.
Zero the scope and rifle yourself and your eye (don’t worry about someone else doing it for you) with 3 round groups for a while, save your ammo and frustration. As time goes on (in varying weather conditions) you will achieve a zero that suits your eye and position.
Don’t worry about fliers, they’re either you or the individual round for that individual shot, not the scope or rifle.
Try different brands of ammo as you go, you will work out what your particular rifle likes. Rimfire is notorious for liking a particular brand to an individual rifle.
Don’t go chasing a zero too much too, if it’s good it’s good. The brand and quality of ammo varies greatly, but even a batch of ammo can be poor. Weather (wind/rain/humidity and more) affect accuracy and don’t forget 22lr is a tiny, light round that will be affected by nearly everything, especially past 50 meters.
Good on you for getting out there and having a go. We need more shooters both here in QLD and Australia in general 👍🏻
@@Owl566 Thanks Daniel. I hop you, your family and friends are well with the current virus situation.
Speaking of virus restrictions and how Australia is stacking up against the rest of the world... perhaps this may give some faith to the politicians that most Australians are trustworthy and want to do the right thing... this extends to licensed firearms owners as well.
Andrew Moroney thanks mate, we are doing well, hopefully you and yours are fairing well too!
I've gotta say Ozzie, your ability to give one long take reviewing these guns is great!
Definitely the best and most honest review I've seen on this rifle. I also own it, and can agree with everything you say. Mine particularly likes CCI Standard Velocity and Mini-Mag. Very handy, as they're some of the cheapest rounds available. It also performs impressively with Eley Edge, but that's in a slightly higher price bracket. Other expensive target ammo works just as well, but there seems little point in using it when the CCI performs almost as well, if not better than some at twice the price.. I've fitted the rifle with a Vortex Viper PST FFP 6-24x50mm scope on a high cantilever mount (slight overkill I know), but the combo works great. This may be no Anschutz accuracy-wise, but for the price, it sure is one heck of a lot of fun. Thanks once again for your many enlightening videos.
Thanks for the review, I’m looking at one of these right now. Live in NSW, so I don’t know about magazine cap… I’m sure when you go back to watch this again, you’ll see that you cleared the weapon with the mag still on. 😁 I’ve just subscribed to your channel
Thanks Ozzie. I was thinking about about purchase one for competition shooting.. You just saved me $700. Great review.
Why?
it was built mainly as a training rifle so you can save money on real ammo. it wasn't built to be a competition rifle.they run as low as $350 in the US. you can upgrade the barrel if you want a accurate rifle.
JB the rifle likes a federal bullet another guy done a review on utube amazing accuracy
Amigo, the first box of Eley Club ammo was used to sight in my RPR Rimfire and it did .4” at 50yds consistently and some less. If you’re not getting 1/2” or better at 50, it’s you not the rifle. There are others that don’t do well. Green tag and Std CCI are OK each under 1” at 50. Tried Norma match, Federal GM, Eley Match, Target, Club and velocitor CCI. Mine limes thecCLUB and Match Eley best, green Tag next, the rest I shoot in pistols. Oh, I do have an EC Tuner but haven’t done any tuning yet. Just have it on the muzzle set to 0
Excellent honest review as usual - I own a couple of tactical 22’s in the form of a Ruger American target in a MDT chassis with a Timney trigger & a Keystone 22PT - both shoot super accurate using Eley Club ammo - I was hesitant in putting $$ down on a RPRR & your review confirms my intuition. Shame as I love my Rugers & own 2 tack driving RPR’s. Thanks again for your review👍
Excellent review and great video quality. Looks like a fun rimfire overall and a would make a fine plinker. Thank you for your efforts, well appreciated.
I appreciate you watching
Mine took some breaking in before I started getting good accuracy. It likes the Wolf Match Target ammo very much.
I noticed that subsonic ammo is more accurate when shooting 50-100 meter range. I think it has to do with supersonic bullet becoming subsonic at these distances, thus having some disturbances in the trajectory.
Supersonic are more accurate at distances less than 50 meters.
I'll add another vote for the CCI Standard Velocity. It averages 1091FPS out of my RPRR, so it's faster than advertised but still subsonic, and here in the States it's only $25/500rnds. It rips bug holes @ 100yds with such regularity that it becomes boring. I've taken to shooting @ 250yds for a challenge.
Mine loves cci minimag, got it because it does not look like a "traditional" 22. Note that the adjustable stock is good for young shooters as you can bring it right in.
The extended bolt throw is intended for people who own the precision center fire. So you don't build muscle memory on the short throw and screw up working the bolt on your center fire when switching between.
Bloody awesome review thanks mate. I just recently bought one of these babies, but have not put a round through it yet. I thought it would get a lot better groupings though. I have a Ruger charger fitted with a 10 bull barrel from Kidd Innovations in Texas, (gotta say it the best barrel I have EVER used also), and it gets groups of less than 3/4” at 90 yards (using 40grain Blazer rounds made bu CCI/Speer) so I really expected a lot more from this precision rifle. Only time and pricy will tell. Thanks again champion, and keep up the awesome work.
I think the idea behind this rifle was that it was for training for folks with the larger caliber Ruger precision rifles.
Too bad you can't try out the 6.5 Creedmoor
Been waiting for this one for a while! Great videos, keep up the great work :)
Thanks Cameron, it's great to be back shooting :)
Thanks for the review, I was going to buy this over the LA101 (I do like easy stock adjustability). After this I'll get the Lithgow one instead. Saved me $750 and a 6 month wait! Cheers
These hover around $1000 AUD in the latter half of Covid ravaged 2021. Just bought one in burnt bronze with scope and bipod package for $1250. Looking forward to testing it out and enjoying a bit of plinking.
Hey mate where from, looking for a package also.
Good to see you again, glad you're on the mend.
Try CCI Standard Ammo. My worst groups at 50 yards are .833” and as low as .172” , I shoot at 1/2 dot targets and I love this rifle.
Yes the groups are much better using CCI Standard, thanks for the tip...
My RPR seems to like 1100 fps. at 25 yards one hole 5 shot group that you can't even fit a 9mm projectile through .I'm going to take it out this weekend and see what it will do at 50 and 100. It loves the Norma USA Tac 22 made for 22 AR'S at 5.49 USD per 50. Thanx for the video. Cherrio!
pity it didn't perform better, but i do really like the look and the adjustable skeletonised style stock... thanks for anouther great video ozzie, hope you and the family are all doing well, give Cooper a tummy rub from me please =) regards, jason
it aint the rifle man. its the guy shooting it. I have one and its capable of much smaller groups
Always a good review. Made me nervous in your summary with that bolt closed!
Ive been messing with different magazines and the same ammo, the results are all over the place. Manually loading singles is also mixed results
Just watched the video again with me daughter's headphones on and heard you mention the weather!!!!
I use the CCI standard velocity ammo and it holds MOA or better at 100 yards. Fired with a can using those loads, and it is Hollywood quiet, hearing only the firing pin hitting the case and the impact of the bullet. Have used Federal Gold Match as well as Aguila match, Norma Tac22, and Ely loads. Some do a little better, but for the money, the standard velocity CCI's are the best. Have used Remington high velocity Thunderbolts and they fly all over the place.
Good to see you back into it with the gun reviews mate. I think Ruger made a rod for the rifle's back with the "precision" name. Maybe they should have just called it a "tactical rimfire" or something because it's not that precise in nay of the reviews. Alright for a fun bunny gun if you like that styling.
...I've not found a video of the RPR shooting MoA, or sub MoA, from a standard rifle? The 16" Ruger barrel on my 10/22 Target Tactical shoots much tighter 10 round groups @50 and 100 yards with non-match Eley...great video and no one can say you didn't try enough ammo!
Hi Ozzie,...so good to see you up and at 'em again .
I've been waiting to see a good review on this model Ruger, my choice is going to be , " do I buy this Ruger Precision 22, or do I wait for the Tikka T1X MTR?"
So now, I'd like to see what you think of the Tikka, whenever you can get your hands on one.
Here where I live in Canada, it looks like I have to wait until September before these Tikka's will be available. ( now there's a drag !)
My thought's are pretty well confirmed that the Ruger Precision, is more or less a 'jazzed up' American Rimfire. The only way to tell, for me, is going to be at my range.
Cheers Ozzie,..in the real sense of the greeting!
Reg ... Have you checked out the CZ 455 varmint/target? I can print 3/4 inch at 50 yards, and 1.25 at 100. It's worth checking out.
RapidRobert, no I have not, at least not yet. I do have a CZ455 LUX .22 on order.
I also own a CZ455 with Evolution stock. So, tell me what does the varmint/target rifle have, that the rifles I have does not. I am always open to suggestion from other folks who have a better idea?
I am NOT 'stuck' on buying a Tikka TX1, especially if there's a CZ that's as good, or even better.
The action is the same, but it has a heavy bbl without sights. I know that there are others to consider, but for around $500 US, I think this is the best option.
Thanks for this,...I am in Canada,...so of course we have to pay the awful exchange rates anyway. But my dealer will ship to me at no-charge,...so that's a help.
Thanks again.
@@regsparkes6507 is you buy this rifle get a 10 round magazine they get better groups and try shooting cci and federal 22lr.and now you can buy with in 22 magnum or 17 HMR
A lot of gun for the money, not a lot of performance. Hope the new Tikka is a performer. Will look forward to that review Ozzie!
Very fair assessment on the accuracy. I bought a Ruger rimfire target around 12 months ago which is fitted with the same barrel. I can’t get anything to group better than what you have demonstrated here. I believe they all have the standard .22lr chamber with fancy bits added to tart them up. I wish I paid a little extra now and gone the Lithgow.
Great review! What music is in your opening? Love it! Thanks.
Should make video about gun laws in Australia
CCI STANDARD
Cheers Ozzie
As for the bolt throw, I’m interested in one of these as a trainer and like the idea so I don’t get used to the 1.5” and short stroke my bolt in a real hunting situation with my proper rifle
Great work mate
It Likes CCI standard velocity ammo ......... averages .42 inch groups at 50 .
My 190 dollar savage mark 2 shoots WAY tighter groups with cci standard velocity. 1/2" all day 1/4" on a good day. Tuned action bolts, mind you, but still.
Yea and the savages are junk specifically their extractors on their bolt. I traded my mark ii for ruger best decision ive ever made.
Hey Ozzie. Thanks again for the nice review. Try some Federal Premium UltraMatch (If we can get it here). Just watched 22 Plinksters review, he was getting 1/2 inch group.
$1 per shot for this stuff though! A bit rich for .22 ammo.
Mine loves Cci standard, shoots under an inch at 50m.
I will stick with my cz 452 shoots much better groups with cheap ammo
For those not impressed with the reviews groups: My RPR shoots all holes touching at 50 yards with any of CenterX R50: federal Match and Federal Ultra Match. Anyone with a .22 should know that the ammo matters...a lot. the ammo with the worst groups? Tennex..go figure
By the way, the chassis is not aluminum, it's polymer.
Glass-filled nylon to be exact, according to Ruger official website.
Thanks for the review and good to see you back shooting. When are you doing a 458? *lol*
I use CCI in mine, sub 1" grouping at 50m
$700+ dollars...Ouch.. I'm glad it's down to $454.85 now 3 yrs later. Thinking of getting one for the grandson.
not in Australia where the review was done. now around $900- $1000
Very nice honest review of the rifle it is a fun & different 22lr to plink around with. Mine so far seems to shoot decently with just the cheap high velocity stuff I have tried some what higher end ammo but nothing really impressed.
10 shot groups Ozzie on a windy day, none of your other reviews are like that. I agree its not as accurate as a $1100 CZ 455 tacticool, but 10 shot groups leaves a lot of room for error.
obviously a fanta fan mate! those coke cans went off! thanks heaps as always mate! honest review.. just bought one for my young fella, will take your advice and suss out the ammo..
this might just be my young mind but imagine how cool it would look with like an eotech sight or somthing like that
Wow that sound difference with the mini mags
great review!!!
Thanks for the review. Bit of a shame. Looks the goods but..!
Great honest review Ozzie. I wonder how the CCI Standard ammo would've gone in that. Also hope you get the opportunity to do a similar review on the Tikka T1x at some point. Cheers.
Don't BLAME those groups on the rifle.
Great review. I wanted to love mine more but my results are like yours. I have an old winchester model 69 that shoots as good. Cheers from the USA. Subbed
Thank you mate and welcome to the channel :)
Hoping to see you do a review on the Tikka T1x MTR coming out soon :)
Does it accept a pic rail on the front end without modification or is it like the CZ 515 where you need a bit of modification to put a pic rail on the front?
cheers mate appreciate the review as always!
Thanks man good review..
I’m looking to get my first rifle in AUS.l if you could only buy one rifle for life for under like $1100 which one would you get? I don’t see the big enough benefit I think in his rifle for + $300 to get adjustable stock and looks cool 😂
one big thing I was wondering is, is it really more accurate than standard Rugar considering it’s name😂 I really hate how the cheapest Rugar though doesn’t have a threaded barrel. Just like to future proof purchase of my first rifle..
Hey Ozzie does this gun come in left handed by any chance? love your work keep it up!!!
touched one at the gun shop, seemed ok , really didnt like the way the magazine slopped around in the receiver
Hi mate could you do a review on the Adler 230 if you can get your hands on one. I know its not relevant to this video but love watching your videos and thought of it at the time as I’m looking at buying one. Already have the Adler A110 lever action and love it
Boa a presetacion dessa máquina a adequada p/ situações de segurança precisa de seguro defesa pessoal com consciência de treinamentos
Cheers mate.
Good video. Was considering moving to rimfire. Im impresed how can I be getting better groups sith a good pcp airgun set to 42J with 38gr ammo. Im starting to see advantages shooting with it. Cheaper to shoot, can do it anywhere and more accurate. 50ygroups 5cent euro and 100y 50cent euro.
Mate, nice work. Any chance of a quick review of your bench rest?
You need to try shooting some CCI stingers. I have this exact rifle with a Nikon bushmaster scope and at 50 yds with the stingers it shoots a lot better than what your showing in this review. I'm talking 15 shots in a ping pong ball or less.
Good to see you back doing what you do well Ozzie. To be honest though mate, I'm not sure there's much point in this rifle? These "precision" rifles are surely intended for long range shooting and the .22lr hardly falls into that genre and maybe it's not intended to be. A lot of people like the tactical look and I guess this is a cheap option for those who want something like that. It strikes me as just a fancy plinking rifle. I'm not likely to ever own anything like this but if I were I would be looking at something like a 6.5 Creedmoor or similar. I certainly wouldn't be spending my money on the Ruger given some of the disappointing results you got. Some might disagree with me but that's just my view. Cheers Ozzie and keep going.
Paul Ayres I think the intent with this is to emulate the feel of a larger rifle for training purposes while shooting cheaper .22 ammo. Ozzie discusses the ability to change the bolt throw to match a standard short action throw which fits with that idea.
The Ruger .22lr is a Training Rifle Ruger Center-fire Rifles are Precision Rifles.
Hello mate, good review. What was the wind speed/direction like? Or did i miss you saying that because I'm a bit mutt'n'jeff!!!!
It's a pitty about the accuracy but I suppose it's built to a price point...
Do you think you will use it for rabbit hunting any time soon.so far there are no videos on how well it works for hunting
Nicely build tho ...cool vid..👍
If you shoot Lapua centre x you will hit 300 yards.
Is your scope clear of the hand guard.....? It can't be touching
good review but not impressed with the groups with good quality target ammo.
Dennis Werner more an entry level precision rifle. For most shooters who dont compete or just beginninv and dont want to spend alot on a custom cz or lithgow.
My $190 savage mark II stomps this rifle.
You must fire more than one 10 round group to deside the ammo. One group tells you nothing because there is dyrt from the last ammo in the barrel. Fire 4 or 5 gorups of 10 shoot and you will se results ;-)
Brownings T-Bolt shits all over this thing.
Check out .22 Plinkster’s review. He hits a .5” group at 50 yards with Federal Match ammo
Hi, I have a question. What height rings are you using for that 40mm objective scope?
Hello There. Does anybody here know if a folding stock has become available? Please.
I've got much better results with a cheap Filipino .22 and Winchester rabbit ammo - and for that matter with a Ruger 10: 22 and Winchester rabbit ammo. Subsonic seems the way to go?
These rifles don't come with the bx-15 mag any more. Only the small 10 round mag. And u can't buy the bx-15 any more either. Very disappointing on Australia's behalf banning anything bigger than a 10 round mag
Any lefties own this gun and what do you think? I’m not sure if I should purchase one only because they don’t make left hand 👎🏻 or anyone manage to get it to be for a lefty?
Hi Ozzi I went and bought one today, what scope would you recommend to add on it, 3-9x40, 3-12x40, 6-18x40, all off them Bushnell rimfire, I will be using it for target and some hunting.
Thank you for the help
How has the rifle been?
nice video please. try the new anschutz 1710 HB G TAC. fin rifle : ps you are the mann
Simple fix... Trade forra mp15-22 cause its waaaaay more accurate with a 16" barrel but my 14.5 n 4.5 can kills this precision rifle imo. I would love for Ozzie to test mine. With his skill i cld see my lil plinkers true potential!
#greatvidOzzie
Caleb Triplett I just purchased the ruger competition rifle from my local gun shop for $520 I think they messed the price up but I’m ready to shoot it !!!
for something called a precision rifle its pants just enquired about buying one of these i think i will forget it . QUESTION.... why dont you test with sub sonic ammo ??? 100% of uk shooters will be using a moderator seems nuts you never use subs in rimfire tests since its almost the entire point of the calibre .
want an accurate .22 buy a anschutz this seems to be a good trainer ergos wise and that is about it.
Philip Alpers I sold my Anschutz for this and am glad I did
Richard Kendall what model anschutz mate?
Philip Alpers ..not one of the gold plated models. A sporter...can’t recall the model number...but it shot well, just nowhere near as good as the Ruger does. And then only with Fiocchi Maxac...no longer available. All holes touching at 50 is more than good enough for anyone I know of. And with multiple brands. Best group was .125. At 100 yards, and a slightly breezy day, .71 inch groups. Been too windy to try 100 with dead calm. This is my favorite rifle. Only my Remington 700 in 270 Win, with handloads does better. .31inch groups with that one.
Im looke at 17hmr anf 22wmr in this gun which is better?
Federal Gold Metal Match Ultra
Where can I get a magazine like this from?
Hi what gun licence does this fall under mate?
Are you aware what extra mags cost
I can’t take this thing seriously
Can you get a sporter stock for this?
What is that scope in particular?
What's your optic magnification?
Still sucks that it is illegal in WA and a couple other states
SlickX ..move to America
Why?
Then don’t. You must like liberal Wonderland. Your choice
Richard Kendal, Nah were safer here in Oz, At least i don't have to worry about school massacres, We've got something right mate 😊
@ Slick ,No I just value kids life's,Cat A+B+C is more than enough for my needs, Run along and go play PUBG 😊
jeez christ i been waiting months for mine to come. wtf is taking so long. can not wait. how u get urs so quick?
1" at 50yds is 2MOA, right? That isn't very good...is it? Have you had tighter groups with something else?
People have reported CCI standard shoots best. Unfortunately I didn't have any in this review, but I'm disappointed as my standard Ruger American Rimfire rifle shoots better than this Precision version...
Get a 10 round magazine that will help get tighter groups.
Try CCI Standard.
