[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1323979, member: 54178"] Well, it's been a while since I began this thread so there's an UPDATE: 1. I kept the 6.5 CM RAP and put a Timmy trigger on it and a Boyd's Classic laminated stock. Today at the Boulder City range I was getting 1" to 1.25" groups at 200 yards until the wind picked up to about 15 - 20 mph. Love Ruger barrels and Timmy triggers. And the Boyd's stock is really an accuracy stick with the V-block bedding and weighing exactly 1 lb. more than the plastic Ruger stock.I was shooting 143 gr. Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X ammo. Soon I'll reload for it [I]but the ELD-X is [/I][I]certainly match grade ammo.[/I] 2. Last year I bought that 6.5 CM Ruger Precision rifle and it is easily a 1/2 MOA rifle with 140 gr. Hornady ELD-M cartridges. The scope is a Bushnell ERS 3.5 - 21 x 50 with H59 reticle. Great scope! I've discovered that I'm as accurate with the RPR using my Atlas bipod and CTK monopod on a bench as I am with my cast iron bench rest and rear bag.The monopod is like having micrometer adjustability in getting back on target after each shot.
