New View: Rock River Arms XM24 Tactical Bolt-Action Rifle

1. I don’t know. These rifles may not be an AR, but they sure try to look like one. Honestly, I don’t have any experience with this type of rifle and not interested, but I’m sure they do their job.

   • In what way does this rifle “try to look like” an AR?
     Why, because it’s black? Other than being black (and the grip), there’s no visual similarity.
     The stock looks far different, barrel looks different, forend/forearm looks different (short rail rather than a full-length rail), action looks different (manual bolt knob sticking out!), The only similarity to any AR is the grip. Having an ergonomic grip doesn’t make a rifle is “trying to look like an AR.”
     If you think a rifle being black means it’s “trying to look like an AR,” then you’re even more of a Fudd than me (and I prefer break-action single-shot rifles).

     • NJ, kinda like the man said about porn. Can’t define it, but I know what it is when I see it. Sorry I touched a nerve.

       • Actually, just remove that skeleton stock, replace with something more traditional, and that rifle actually looks pretty nice. The pistol grip looks a wee bit out of place on a bolt action, but I could get used to that easily enough. The bipod – hope it’s detachable. Very useful when you need it, not so much when you don’t need it. I most definitely don’t like the stock though.

       • “The bipod – hope it’s detachable.”

         This is hardly a rifle one would carry in the field and shoot off hand from the shoulder. One would likely either be using the bipod or some bags when shooting it.

       • The bipod is detachable. The whole handguard is mlok (you can see it without any attachments in pic 2). Top pic just looks like an atlas bipod with a pic to mlok adapter.

   • I think it looks less like any of my ARs and more like my Remington 700 in an MDT ORYX chassis: https://mdttac.com/oryx-chassis-system/

     The MDT chassis is a huge improvement over the factory supplied stock.

2. There was a time when 1/2 MOA would justify the price tag, nowadays not so much.

   • …especially since it says accuracy “potential” and not just accuracy. That word throws a lot of wiggle into the mix. And it seems to be everywhere on the www except for their own website.

     • Unfortunately they have to word it like that because so many run out and buy the cheapest junk range ammo they can and expect MOA or less. I’ve overheard conversations and seen shooters at the range when they were using Tula and off brand or foreign country stuff and “military grade” (which is 4” at 100 for acceptable accuracy BTW).
       The we get into scopes because yes they will buy the Walmart $100 scope and put it on the 5K rifle with heavy recoil and complain.
       Then they get into shooting position with the barrel laid across the hood or bed of the pickup and use it to support the weight.
       It’s the same people as to why we have warning stickers on auto fan blades that say don’t install while vehicle is running.

3. “….barrels that have been air-gauged for maximum bore precision…..”

   🤣🤣🤣

   Inspection methods have never maximized or diminished ANY parts precision.

   A much better way to convey the “bore precision” would be to provide the tolerance range deemed as acceptable. Defining the final bore sizing method would be more indicative of “precision” then the Inspection process that checks it.
   RRA needs to get their marketing dept some help from manufacturing engineering group when writing this stuff.

4. Sounds like they sourced a bunch of off the shelf parts and screwed them together.

5. Sorry RRA. No traitor brands for me@Springfield & you know what you did🙄

   • pepperidge farm.

6. Over $5000.00 for that, I think not. Old Ruger M77 in 270 or 300 win mag and it will take almost anything that walks on 4 legs (or two). Best part, I just saved $4,200.00.

7. I have a Remington Sendero 25-06 blued fluted, scarce as hen’s teeth. I couldn’t sell for 5Gs however I would not trade it for this $5G bolt rifle or any other.

   • work with a gal that shoots that caliber.
     she’s got that joey lauren adams “sex kitten on helium” voice too.

8. For that price, I would buy a Steyr.

9. This seems more in line with the lower end Savage and Christensen chassis rifles which are priced at about half of this.

   I doubt much game will fall to these, particularly in .338 Lapua. Long range shots at steel. I got to shoot a Hill Country Rifle’s .338 L on the mile course at Whittington several years ago. Even with a bit of cross wind I was able to keep 5 shots on the 3’x3’ white square, the last 3 maybe within a 14” triangle. I was being coached by the builders of the rifle but it made a believer out of me as to the capabilities of the Lapua mag.

10. i’m imagining all of the feathers and bells and charms i could hang off of that stock.

11. I do not expect TTAG to shell out that kind of money for a review, but it would be interesting to see a comparison of the RRA rifle vs. say a budget friendly but 1/2MOA rifle.
    Then again I would also like to see a all around comparison of the PRS line of rifles they have available to them.

12. the .308 or .338 thing is weird to me. no creeds seems odd for instance.

    also as a former Illinois citizen just say no to rra.

    • do not confuse rra with ria, common mistake.
      also, barrel nut. creed on way.

      • Title says Rock River Arms.

13. rock river arms is a bunch of commie scum
