Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Precision 300 for sale
Is Ruger Precision a good gun?
The Ruger Precision Rifle is well-regarded for accuracy, ergonomics, and build quality at its price point. Most shooters achieve sub-MOA groups. It works well for long-range hunting and target shooting. Retail price runs roughly $1,400–$1,900 depending on caliber and configuration.
How much is a used Ruger Precision Rifle worth?
Used Ruger Precision Rifles typically sell for $520–$1,300, averaging around $785–$888 depending on condition, caliber, and accessories. New models start around $1,750 and can exceed $2,200. They hold value reasonably well on the secondary market.
What are some common problems with Ruger precision rifles?
Ruger issued a recall on some Precision Rifles due to potential interference between the aluminum bolt shroud and the cocking piece, which can cause light strikes where rounds fail to fire. Other reported issues include heavy bolt lift, tooling marks in the action, feeding problems, and jamming, though most owners report reliable performance with quality ammunition.
Does 300 PRC kick hard?
Yes, 300 PRC kicks hard — it's considered a real shoulder thumper, with recoil energy well above lighter cartridges like the .308. Even with a muzzle brake, felt recoil is comparable to an unbraked .308. Heavier rifles help absorb the hit, but experienced shooters should still expect significant recoil.
Is 300 PRC overkill for deer?
No. 300 PRC works fine for deer with appropriate bullets and good shot placement. Lighter 180–200 grain bullets minimize meat damage. Its real advantage appears at extended ranges where lighter calibers lose effectiveness.
How far will a 300 PRC travel?
The 300 PRC maintains supersonic velocities to about 1,800 yards, which represents its maximum effective range. Its effective hunting range typically extends to 1,000 yards or more, depending on rifle setup, ammunition, and shooter skill. Accuracy degrades significantly past the shooter's effective range.
What bullet grain is best for 300 PRC?
Grain selection depends on your target. For deer, 165–180 grain bullets work well. For elk, step up to 185–215 grains. Long-range shooters favor 200+ grain match bullets like the 230 gr A-Tip for superior ballistic coefficients. Your rifle's barrel twist rate and intended distance should guide your choice.
