This Gen 1 configuration is identifiable by its Samson Evolution Series 12.37 free-float aluminum handguard with a continuous, T-marked top Picatinny rail. The action uses a three-lug bolt with an approximately 70-degree throw and an oversize bolt knob for confident manipulation. It accepts AICS and SR-25/M110/DPMS/Magpul-pattern short-action magazines and has a 5+1 capacity.
The 20 in heavy-profile barrel is unfluted, made from 4140 chrome-moly steel, and cold hammer-forged with 5R rifling. It features a 1:10 in right-hand twist and a 5/8-24 threaded muzzle. This setup supports precise performance with durable construction.
The folding stock provides adjustable length of pull and comb height, and includes a bottom Picatinny rail for compatible accessories. A Ruger-branded pistol grip complements the chassis, while the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows external pull-weight adjustment. The rifle uses a manual safety and a smooth bolt-action system.
Built in the USA and weighing approximately 9.7 lb, this .308 Win Ruger Precision Rifle brings together the hallmark Gen 1 features with a clean, shiny bore and a proven heavy 5R barrel profile. The continuous top rail makes it straightforward to configure with your preferred equipment.
