For 2018, Ruger introduces another rifle to existing arsenal of rimfire beauties. The RPR takes the Ruger American Rimfire bolt-action and places it in a “precision” one-piece chassis manufactured with strengthening glass-filled nylon.
The Ruger American has some great features—hammer-forged barrel, reliable action, crisp trigger—but many would not consider the molded, polymer stock to be among them. With that in mind, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach went with an aftermarket solution in his quest to build a precision hunting rifle.
For 2023, Ruger introduces its American rifle with Go Wild Camo in 7mm PRC, featuring a 24-inch barrel, a Power Bedding system and a lightweight synthetic stock.
Ruger continues to grow its line of AR-15 caliber compatible American bolt-action Ranch rifles with the addition of a new model chambered for the straight cased .450 Bushmaster cartridge.
Originally designed to serve American troops during what was then known as the Great War and classified as the M1918, the BAR has earned its place in military history. What we're here to talk about, though, is hunting with it—which became a reality in 1967, with the advent of the BAR Sporting Model.
Like a lot of current price-point bolt-actions, the Winchester XPR is built on a round-bodied receiver joined to the barrel by a lock nut. This design requires fewer machining or hand-fitting steps to regulate headspace, it’s a wining method among cost-conscious manufacturers. But what makes it stand out from the rest of the pack?
