Ruger Precision Rifles Get the Job Done at National Conference and Sniper School

At the A Girl & A Gun National Conference, 72 women get to take a 3.5-hour crash course on long-distance rifle shooting, which is a great precursor to the club’s Sniper School that takes place at the same range just 3 months later. The participants are able to get behind the gun, learn ballistics, environmental factors, and reticles to blast steel targets out to 2,003 yards. Because of the generosity of Ruger, A Girl & Gun has loaner guns for the ladies to use, including several Ruger Precision Rifles (RPRs) chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Long-distance shooting is one of the most rewarding challenges a shooter can take on, and it doesn’t have to be intimidating, especially when you have the right gear and training. If you’re ready to step up your game, get behind an RPR. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to jump into or master long-range shooting.

There are many reasons I enjoy shooting the RPR. First and foremost, it is the reliability and consistency. As you work from 1,000 yards to out beyond 2,000 yards on known-distanced and unknown targets, it’s important to have equipment that works consistently so that you can perform at a high level.

My next priority is comfort, especially for long-range shooting, where you’re lying on your rifle for hours and days, and working from a variety of positions. The RPR stock allowed me to adjust the rifle to fit my body and my face, so that I could reduce shooter input and have proper eye relief all day long.

The Ruger Precision Rifle is also designed for serious accuracy. With a cold hammer-forged barrel and free-floating handguard, it’s the kind of rifle that hits its target at long distances, every time. It also allows easy customization. I could upgrade the barrel and modify the rifle to meet the needs of A Girl & A Gun participants. The RPR isn’t just a rifle; it’s really a canvas to create the perfect long-range set-up.

When you combine the Ruger Precision Rifle, the 6.5 Creedmoor rounds from Fiocchi and Black Hills, and A Girl & A Gun’s expert instructors, you’ve got everything you need to take your long-distance shooting to the next level. The gear is top-notch, the training is designed to give you a solid foundation for a variety of sports and activities, and the community is one of the most supportive out there.

If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting targets at over 2,000 yards, mastering precision shooting, or simply getting better at riflecraft, this is your chance. With the right rifle, caliber, and training, there’s no limit to what you can achieve. Time to grab your gear, hit the range, and see just how far (literally!) your skills can go!
