To each their own, but I personally wouldn't put the Noreen ULR on the same level as the RPR. It's like comparing a high performance car from Ford with a high performance car from Porsche. Two vehicles that both go fast is a good way, but one differs from the other in engineering capabilities. If I were going with a 338LM, I'd pick the Noreen over the RPR for a measly $300 (20% increase) every day of the week.
But, that's why Ruger entered into the market - there's lots of market share to go around these days.
It isn't a to each their own situation. This thing is objectively inferior in every way.
The PR has way more features. The PR has a 1 MOA accuracy guarantee whereas the ULR has no accuracy guarantee at all. The PR can fire more than 1 shot. The PR is actually able to be slung and carried. The ULR is basically a single shot crew served weapon.
This ULR is complete nonsense. If you want to spend more money on an inferior rifle, have at it.
I wouldn't say that you're being objective here.
Feature set is relative to use. It's not black and white.
A 1 MOA guarantee is not correlative to real world accuracy results, and all the field tests I've seen with the Noreen ULR platform indicate extremely good accuracy results that typically hover around 1/2-1 MOA - just because there's not guarantee doesn't mean the weapon isn't capable.
Not everyone NEEDS more than one shot at a time, and not everyone wants the mechanical complication of a magazine.
Fair point on the sling, but there are creative ways to solve that problem.
All I'm saying is that the Noreen ULR was built to be ROBUST and handle the 338LM the way Noreen designed it to handle it - simple and extremely effective. Ruger build the RPR Magnums to meet what the market was asking for. They're two different design purposes. Just because they shoot the same cartridge doesn't mean they're on the same level.
On that, I'm out. Feel free to rebutt.
-You get more and better for the money with the RPR.
-You get less and worse with the ULR.
It is as objective as it gets.
Very heavy for no reason =/= robust. You gain nothing from the weight. Plenty of RPRs shoot better than 1 MOA so that really isn't a point. They fact is, the ULR has no guarantee. If it shoots 10 MOA you have no recourse.
If your magazine point had any basis in reality everyone would conceal carry a cap and ball pistol.
Their purposes are the same. To fire a .338LM round.
I agree; they are clearly not on the same level.
Just to confirm....your position is:
Heavy = good
Features = bad
Accuracy guarantees = bad
Magazines = bad
I don't even know where you are going with this. It is like you are trying to convince me water isn't wet.
I figured I’d give some time prior to response. I’m not trying to convince you of anything, as I see that you’ve made up your mind and nothing I say will sway you. This response isn’t intended for you, but perhaps for someone who is considering both options.
On a cartridge like the 338 LM, heavy IS beneficial. Muzzle brakes assist with recoil fairly effectively, but weight will trump a brake every day of the week - especially when the two are combined. There are other variables in play here, but go ask any qualified precision shooter who is skilled at taking out a target from over 1KM, and they’ll confirm what I’m indicating. There are exceptions to this, but they mostly occur when use dictates trudging through rough terrain and carrying your platform with you.
Features aren’t bad. I never said that. What I said is that features are related to the intended use. I wouldn’t choose a super/hyper car to tow a boat, so a “towing gear” is pointless. Likewise, a low center of gravity is pointless on a pickup, as the majority of people in a pickup aren’t trying to corner at 1G. Yeah, we’re talking about rifles here, but the point is valid on ANY product.
Your example of a conceal carry pistol has absolutely no relevance or bearing to the uses of a long-distance rifle. A conceal carry pistol holds a smaller pistol caliber and is purposed for close (<15 yards) contact, so rounds on target trumps nearly everything else. At 1KM, you likely have time to put your second shot on target. Also, I would suppose most (not all) people who have an RPR or Noreen don’t plan on that platform being their SHTF rifle, nor do most hunt with it. They’re probably killing paper, not critters. Therefore, additional rounds available through a magazine means convenience, nothing more.
As for an accuracy guarantee, I give you Bear Creek Arsenal. I’m not knocking them, but my point is that you can throw a guarantee on lower shelf product. Does that mean that every barrel shoots 1MOA? Nope. A brand like BCA probably NEEDS a guarantee so they can overcome their stereotype. Maybe not Ruger so much, but it’s common place for lower-mid manufacturers to use a guarantee. Do manufacturers like Daniel Defense, BCM, Noveske, FN, etc. NEED to have a guarantee to be a great rifle? No. They’ve proven that they’re reliable. Noreen is within that same class. If you have a Noreen rifle shooting 10MOA, I’m sure they would do something about it rather than have their brand tarnished.
Anyone comparing this to the RPR, determine your use and what you’re planning to do with the rifle. If the shoe fits better on one foot, don’t hesitate to try the Noreen. And don’t hesitate to try the RPR. Both are good. They’re just not the same. One is “better” than the other based on what your purpose is and what you need of the rifle. In my use, the Noreen fits just fine.
Just got back from the range with my RPR. Shot a ragged single hole within a few shots of getting it on paper. My optic is a Vortex Razor Gen II. Not elite, but not cheap either.
I can't imagine spending more money on something inferior in every way. Even my wife was just shooting one hole. You get far less for the money. There is just no other way to put it.
It also makes no sense to choose a single shot over a simple magazine fed system. There is just no logical way to defend this lacking feature on the Noreen....especially at that price. The notion that the ULR is designed that way out of necessity or demand is absurd.
I'll take an accuracy guarantee straight to the bank every time I am offered one. Not sure how talking an accuracy guarantee down somehow makes a lack of a guarantee a better option.
This Noreen is objectively a boat anchor at that price point. These boutique rifle makers are hurting and they clearly still don't get it.
"Pay more for my single shot, 32lb rifle because (no excuse)."
No.
Like I said, not trying to convince you. Glad you and your Mrs. are enjoying your RPR. It's a great rifle. Great choice on the optic.
Does Noreen sell a mounting kit for the hood of my pickup truck?
You can buy a .338LM Ruger PR for $1500.
This is nonsense.
