The Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) is a match-ready bolt-action rifle system designed for long-range tactical shooters. Thanks to its modular design, upgrading parts and accessories are quick and easy. The RPR uses Ruger’s barrel nut system, so upgrading to a Helix 6 Precision Carbon Fiber Barrel is simple and doesn’t require a lathe for installation. A carbon fiber barrel by Helix 6 Precision enhances accuracy while reducing the rifle’s overall weight-a smart option for boosting rifle handling and performance. Using proprietary carbon-fiber technology, Helix 6 Precision builds the world’s ultimate barrels for the Ruger Precision Rifle in three popular long-range calibers.
Helix 6 Precision’s Ruger Precision Rifle barrels use a match-grade 416R stainless steel core wrapped using a proprietary layup of carbon fiber. The barrel is threaded to fit Ruger action threads. Thanks to unique design attributes, Helix 6 barrels can be cut and rethreaded to the user’s preferred specs by a qualified gunsmith. Its design dampens barrel harmonics for outstanding accuracy. Button rifling and hand lapping each barrel improve accuracy while minimizing fouling.
Helix 6 Precision manufactures carbon fiber barrels in three popular long-range calibers-6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester-for the Ruger Precision Rifle. The 6mm and 6.5 Creedmoor feature a 24-inch barrel with a fast 1-8 twist, needed to stabilize sleek high BC bullets, and the .308 Win barrel uses a 1-10 twist for optimum long-range performance. All barrels have a .980-inch diameter straight bull contour and weigh between 2.56- and 2.75-pounds depending on the cartridge! Barrels include industry-standard 5/8-24 threads for the rapid installation of an aftermarket muzzle brake or suppressor.
Installing a Helix 6 Precision carbon fiber barrel on your Ruger Precision Rifle is simple. All that’s needed is a barrel nut wrench and the cartridge-specific headspace gauges. However, they recommend the services of a gunsmith if you do not have the tools or the skills to install and headspace your new Helix 6 Precision barrel properly.
Helix 6 Precision uses only premium materials and cutting-edge manufacturing technology to create the world’s ultimate carbon fiber barrel. Available now as pre-fit barrels for the Ruger Precision Rifle, it is easy to upgrade to a proudly made in the USA, Helix 6 Precision barrel.
