Travis; Greetings and salivations my southern friend, I trust things are - well �ber down there at 'Flave Precision and that this finds your family well too of course.
I thought I'd give you the short version of the report on what I believe is one of the first RPR's - Ruger Peasant Rifle - to make it north of the medicine line.
So to be clear to all here Travis, I DID NOT begin at the beginning with this rifle as I typically do. In an effort to see what it would do "out of the box", the only thing I did was reduce the trigger pull down to a bit over 3lbs - all it would let me - and mount a 6X Leupold that was laying about in the safe.
The fore end is pushing against the barrel with a modicum of enthusiasm and I really should have pulled out the rasp before shooting it - but did not.
Anyway it really doesn't love the only factory ammo that I found in the safe, the old white box 1988 vintage Olin 55gr ball. It chronographed out at 3320fps, but would only put 3 into 2�" at 100yds.
The load of 26gr of Varget with Remington primers and 60gr Mystery HP loaded to a COL of 2.272" so they'd fit in the magazine went into 1 1/16" and averaged 2910fps.
As mentioned I was playing with some WC845 I've got and a load of 22gr of it shot best going into 11/16" but only making 2700fps.
The really bright spot in the day however was some previous shooter donated about 180 once fired 5.56/.223 brass into the brass pail - along with a smattering of .308, 9mm and weird for up here .30 Carbine.
Oh, there were also five 7.5x55 Swiss brass in there too???
Anyway Travis, that's the RPR report from the northern front for this evening.
I'm going to take a rasp to the stock, perhaps even the inside as Mule Deer suggests, and see if I can locate some projectiles that have a known lineage rather than the Mystery 60gr HP.
The thing is begging for one of those magazine ends the 'Fire member is making too, as it doesn't appear I'm anywhere too close to the lands in order to fit the magazine.
Have a great weekend Travis and all the best to you and your fine family. �ber weekend I should have said - sorry.

Dwayne man!
Spent all morning "buckin' bales" for some goddamm farmers. Farmers are a lot like Christians. Always askin' for somethin'. Present company excluded of course.
Mini-'flavette had fun though. She piloted the big rig while we policed up "stupid squares." Not a bad morning.
I've found that no matter what bullet I feed this thing, it shoots well.
But it is still a janky POS in my opinion. And I find the detachable mag annoying.
For those that haven't purchased one, this is what I'm referencing when I talk about the stock. UBER janky!
That video was with very mild back and forth from my dickbeater.
No flies on the rifle overall though. It shoots like a sumbitch.
Put another 50 through it and it was MOA all the way to the 500 this afternoon.
I hope your daughter likes it. If she doesn't, tell her tough schit and enjoy it anyway.
Travis
PS- Take my parenting advice with a grain of salt. My daughter doesn't like me much...

Travis; Thanks for the stupid square report and accompanying photographic evidence of your daughter's displeasure with you. She looks absolutely mortified to be there sir.
If memory serves, my first time behind the wheel was either piloting a bale truck or a grain truck - can't recall which anymore.
It's good to see there's some timeless training methods amongst the farmers no matter which side of the medicine line they are found. That said Travis and as mentioned previously, Mom's roots are from a stone's throw north of Havre so maybe it's a genetic thing with me that I understand those folks.
My goodness I'm with you on the floopy stock too Travis, though I must admit I'm already cogitating a paint scheme for it...
Hey part of the reason I bought the rifle was that I had dies and brass for it already, so that's pretty typical of the symptomatic loonyism I suffer from.
What do you make of the 5 rounds of 7.5x55 Swiss brass I found in the batch Travis? Swiss subversives practicing here in the borderlands for an incursion southward?
Typically Swiss, they only needed 5 rounds to ensure zero on their rifles - likely 10 of them I'm guessing.....
Have a good Saturday evening Travis, it's always a pleasure exchanging pleasantries with you.
The mini-'flavette is a sweetheart, as long as she is in front of you. Watch your back with that one.... She has a smile that warms but she is cold as ice. Not kidding either. That girl is a little mean.
Not sure what to make of the 7.5 whatever, but I know I don't care for foreigners and anything labeled "Swiss" belongs in the trash. Unless of course she agrees with everything I say, then that rule might could be done away with.
I always buy donuts for the kiddos on Sunday morning, but right after that, I'll make my way to church.
See you there, friendo.
Travis

Anybody think of a decent way to stiffen up that stock? Outside of death or viagra??
