The Ruger Precision Rifle has been a massive hit with both experienced and new precision rifle shooters. The modular design of the rifle allows shooters to customize their rig to fit their needs and is competitively priced. The Helix 6 carbon fiber barrel is a pre-fit upgrade designed specifically for the Ruger Precision Rifle meant to enhance accuracy and reduce the weight of the rifle.

The Helix 6 Precision Pre-Fit Upgrade for the Ruger Precision Rifle

As of writing, both the 6mm Creedmoor and the 6.5mm Creedmoor barrels are sold out and no backorders can be placed. 308 Winchester is currently available and ready to ship. The installation of the barrels is quite easy and can be done using only a barrel nut wrench and the correct headspace gauge for the caliber of the barrel you’re using. Although this is easily done at home for the experienced rifleman, Helix 6 does recommend that you seek out a professional gunsmith to ensure the installation of the new barrel is done properly.

Easy upgrades to the platform were one of the best selling points for the Ruger Precision Rifle in my opinion. Although these barrels cost almost as much as the rifles themselves, the upgrade might mean the difference between landing a shot on target or hitting the dirt.
