Rock River Arms Announces First Precision Bolt Rifles

Friday, January 22nd, 2021

Colona, IL – Rock River Arms, one of the industry’s most respected name in Modern Sporting Rifles and pistols, enters the long-range bolt rifle category with the introduction of the all-new RBG Bolt Gun series.

The RBG series bolt rifles are designed to deliver a turn-key precision rifle suitable for long-range shooting and competition. Based on RRA’s proprietary short-action stainless steel receiver and a Wilson (stainless-steel barrel (offered in 24-inch, 22-inch or 20-inch models), the RBG Bolt Gun is available in .308/7.62×51 and 6.5 Creedmoor chambering. The barrel is air-gauged for bore diameter uniformity and cryo-treated to ensure structural consistency.

The barreled action sits in a KRG chassis, which was chosen for its lean profile and precision aluminum bedding. Toolless field adjustability provides a custom fit in any shooting condition. The chassis is compatible with AICS-style detachable box magazines and is ideally suited for multiple long-range shooting disciplines. Color options include tan, black, and green.

Rounding out the action assembly is a one piece, interchangeable two-lug bolt cycled by an oversized knurled bolt handle. The two-lug bolt design provides a smooth action when cycling and features an easy-access external bolt release. Beneath the action is a short-travel Triggertech trigger, or option of a Timney trigger, with adjustable pull weight and a crisp, zero-creep break.

Included with the RBG is a 20 MOA base. This allows the scope to be zeroed to prevent elevation runout for long-distance targets. Standard scope base holes are drilled into the receiver for shooters who desire conventional ring mounts.

Weighing a modest 10.2 pounds with an empty magazine, the RBG Bolt Gun measures 39.5-inches to 43.5-inches in length and is guaranteed by the factory to shoot sub-MOA groups.

Ruger Introduces Custom Shop Precision Rifle in 6mm Creedmoor

Thursday, January 21st, 2021

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is pleased to introduce the Ruger Precision® Rifle chambered in 6mm Creedmoor as the newest addition to the Ruger Custom Shop® line of firearms. Designed in collaboration with Team Ruger Captain, Doug Koenig, this new model builds upon the already competitive Ruger Precision Rifle to deliver a factory-built firearm specifically designed for long-range competition.

The new Custom Shop Ruger Precision Rifle features a factory-installed TriggerTech Trigger with Frictionless Release TechnologyTM providing an exceptionally crisp break, minimized overtravel and an extremely short and tactile reset. A unique barrier stop is installed on the front of the magazine well to enhance the shooter’s positional support during competition by providing a stable and repeatable shooting position. Internally, the rifle boasts an improved firing pin tip geometry that enhances functionality with a wide variety of primers while allowing for decreased force necessary to manipulate the bolt.

This rifle’s custom, heavy-contour (.850″ at the muzzle), highly accurate free-floated barrel is cold hammer-forged from chrome-molly stainless steel and features 5R rifling for minimum bullet upset. Minimum bore and groove dimensions (air-gauged for process control) and a centralized chamber deliver outstanding accuracy, longevity and ease of cleaning. The barrel features a 1:7” twist rate, 5/8”-24 threaded muzzle and APA Muzzle Brake (.264 bore) to effectively reduce recoil aiding shot observation for quick follow-up.

Encompassing the stainless steel barrel is a hard-coat anodized aluminum, free-float handguard that features M-LOK® slots on all four sides for improved clearance for long-range scopes and easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories. The handguard is flat bottomed for stability and incorporates an integral bottom 1.50” dovetail, making the gun compatible with RRS S.O.A.R. and similar QD systems.

With its ability to accept AR-style grips and buttstocks, the rifle incorporates a Magpul® MOE® K2+ grip to provide a more vertical grip angle in a full-sized design. Select parts of the rifle are finished with a durable Cerakote® for improved wear resistance. This model ships with two Magpul PMAG® magazines and a Sorbothane® cheek pad that provides a comfortable and stable cheek-to-stock weld for quick target acquisition.

The value proposition of the Ruger Custom Shop Precision Rifle in 6mm Creedmoor is without peer. With top-tier accuracy, adjustable ergonomics and the rugged reliability and affordability for which Ruger is famous, this new offering provides a long-range, competition-ready rifle directly from the Ruger factory.
