Ruger Precision Rifle | 6.5 PRC | 26″ | MFG# 18042

The Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 PRC is a bolt‑action platform built for precision shooting at extended ranges. It pairs a cold hammer‑forged, 5R‑rifled 26″ barrel with an adjustable folding stock and a free‑float M‑LOK handguard to support stable setups from barricades or tripods. For a matching optic under $1,000, a variable‑power tactical scope such as the Vortex Viper PST series offers the magnification range and reticle options suitable for long‑range work on this rifle. Typical applications include precision long‑range target shooting and big‑game hunting where heavy, high‑BC projectiles excel.
