Ruger Precision Rifle Gen 1 .308 Win - Custom 26 inch Heavy Threaded Barrel, Samson KeyMod, Vortex Viper 6-24x50
This Gen 1 Ruger Precision Rifle in .308 Win stands out with a non-factory 26 inch heavy, threaded barrel and a grey/black patterned refinish applied to multiple components (barrel, receiver, handguard/rail, stock/chassis parts, scope, rings, and bipod). It is identifiable as an early Gen 1 by its Samson Evolution KeyMod free-float handguard and early 1800-prefix serial range. A Vortex Viper 6-24x50 SFP scope is mounted, and the rifle uses Ruger’s Multi-Magazine Interface to accept both AICS and SR-25/DPMS/Magpul LR/SR pattern magazines. It includes three 10-round magazines and is configured with a 20-MOA receiver rail, adjustable stock, and externally adjustable Marksman trigger.

This rifle is a first-generation configuration, identifiable by its SAMSON MFG. CORP., USA marked Evolution KeyMod free-float handguard. The receiver is marked NEWPORT, NH, USA and is fitted with a 20-MOA Picatinny rail. The action uses a three-lug, short-throw bolt and a manual safety.
The custom setup features a 26 inch heavy-profile, threaded barrel and a grey/black patterned refinish applied across multiple components, paired with an installed A2-style birdcage flash hider. The OEM Ruger Hybrid muzzle brake is included loose (not installed). The Marksman Adjustable trigger is externally adjustable, supporting precise user tuning. Length of pull is set at 12.0 inches.
The folding, adjustable stock includes an adjustable cheekpiece for repeatable head position. An AR-pattern pistol grip is installed for familiar ergonomics. The aluminum Samson Evolution KeyMod handguard keeps the barrel free-floated.
