The RAR is a rifle made just as simple and inexpensive as the other models it competes with. I have had/have seven of them and they will for the most part do moa or better without any mods. As some of the groups shown here they do better than moa out of the box, and just like the other rifles in that class some are going to shoot lights out and some aren't without a little help. The best two i have gotten so far are a .308 predator that on the very first time out put the last three rds into less than an inch, this is from an mtm $30 open rest. The other was a .243 that i kick myself over every time i think about it because i let it get away. No i don't have the target for that one.

The ruger is a inexpensive rifle that shoots good for what you paid for it. You may need to enlarge the pictures to see them best.

Was that factory ammo, or did you roll your own? Inquiring minds want to know.

My sow’s ear Ruger Predator .243. She shoots so well that the local yodel dogs call her The Black Death. Nothing wrong with these rifles for hunting.

Very nice....my RAP is also a good shooter in .243, and I ordered a similar stock from Boyd's yesterday. I did put a Timney trigger in it, and changed the bolt handle....otherwise stock.

Send your bolt to boltfluter with a $135 money order. Trust me it cycles much better.
Waaay smoother operation.
