  • Good day Guys/Gals,
    Is this Ruger 223/5.56 the new or older Ruger Precision Rifle? Please give definitive answer. I placed what the new features are for the Gen 2.
    New for the Gen 2:
    •Precision Rifle® short-action handguard omits the top rail for more scope clearance
    •Precision Rifle® muzzle brake
    •Redesigned billet aluminum bolt shroud
    Thank you kindly.

  • I disagree the model number 18019 crosses to the current Gen 2 http://ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/specSheets/18019.html
    even in your question you state that it has the short-action handguard in the BUDS listing it states ADDL INFO:Ruger Short-Action Handguard which would be the Gen 2 I searched the UPC at other sites and they all showed it with the Gen 2 improvements The new enhanced version was released in May 2016 thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/05/12/new-rugers-enhanced-precision-rifle/

  • Hi Edward, this is a Gen 1 model.

  • The UPC code is of a mid/late 2016 manufacture so I would say it's safe to assume Gen 1. Shame that Buds probably won't know Edward.
