Ruger Precision Rifle Gen 2 – Model 18028 • .308 Win • Timney-Equipped • 20″ 5R Barrel
The Gen 2 Ruger Precision Rifle in .308 Win marries Ruger’s purpose-built chassis system with a 20-inch cold-hammer-forged 5R barrel and a factory-corrected bolt shroud (serial prefix 1802). This particular example goes a step further with a crisp Timney single-stage trigger, turning an already respected precision platform into a match-ready performer capable of sub-MOA results with quality ammunition. A folding, tool-less adjustable stock, 15″ free-float M-LOK handguard, and hybrid muzzle brake round out a package that has become a mainstay at PRS club matches and long-range ranges alike.
Condition
Very Good overall. Light, superficial handling marks, scattered scratches, and minor blemishes are present, consistent with careful field use. Bore remains clean and shiny with well-defined lands and grooves; minor wear is purely cosmetic. The hybrid muzzle brake shows faint carbon buildup at the ports—an expected by-product of previous range sessions. The action cycles smoothly and the aftermarket Timney trigger breaks cleanly with no overtravel.
What’s Included
• Rifle as described, fitted with the Timney single-stage match trigger
• Three (3) Magpul PMAG 10 LR/SR Gen M3 magazines (10-round, polymer)
• Factory Ruger muzzle brake installed
• Built-in takedown tool housed in the bolt shroud
This Gen 2 rifle retains Ruger’s patented multi-magazine interface, feeding reliably from both AICS and SR-25 pattern magazines—ideal for shooters who already stock either type. The in-line recoil path (receiver into buttpad) minimizes muzzle rise, keeping the reticle on target for quicker follow-up shots, while the 7075-T6 aluminum chassis accepts most AR-pattern grips and safety selectors for future personalization.
The 20″ 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel features 5/8″-24 threads for suppressor or brake swaps, a 1:10″ right-hand twist that happily stabilizes popular 175-gr OTM loads, and 5R rifling that reduces jacket deformation and fouling. Combined with the Timney trigger’s lighter, consistent break, the result is a rifle that rewards careful handloads yet runs flawlessly on quality factory ammunition.
Whether you’re looking to step into precision rifle competitions, stretch your skills at long range, or add a versatile .308 chassis gun to your collection, this Ruger Precision Rifle delivers proven engineering with thoughtful upgrades already in place. Take advantage of its transport-friendly folding stock, adaptable magazine compatibility, and aftermarket trigger—all without the wait or expense of piecemeal modifications.
