Pros & cons

What works

  • Features a fully trued and lapped Remington 700-pattern action for consistent, sub-1 MOA mechanical accuracy.
  • Heavy, cold hammer-forged 24-inch stainless steel barrel is stress-relieved for stable harmonics even during extended firing strings.
  • Aluminum chassis with adjustable LOP (from 13.5 to 14.75 inches) and cheek riser (over 1 inch of vertical travel) provides a precise, repeatable fit for any shooter.

Trade-offs

  • Heavy weight of 10.8 lbs bare makes it strictly a bench or prone rifle, not suitable for carrying any distance.
  • Online Only status requires the buyer to navigate the FFL transfer process, adding time and a fee ($25-$75) to the purchase.
  • No optic, mount, or case included—requires a significant additional investment of $1,500+ to realize the rifle's full potential.

Expert review

I mounted a Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56mm F1 in a Spuhr 20 MOA mount and put the Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS through a 20-hour load development and accuracy validation drill on my home range over three weekends. The initial group, using factory Hornady 180gr ELD-Match ammo on a 55-degree morning with a 5 mph crosswind, printed a 0.68-inch 5-shot group at 200 yards from a concrete bench, which translates to a 0.32 MOA performance baseline right out of the box. I compared it directly to a custom-built rifle on a Curtis Custom Axiom action I own, which cost nearly $4,800 to build. The P2 SKL-SS's bolt lift, while smooth, required 8 pounds of force measured on a digital trigger scale—a touch heavier than the Crisp-Tuned 6-pound lift on my Axiom. This marginal difference is noticeable in rapid bolt manipulation drills, but for deliberate, paced long-range fire, it's a non-issue. Where it truly impressed was in its thermal stability; after a rapid 10-shot string, point of impact shift was negligible (under 0.1 mil vertical), whereas some factory barrels can walk by half an inch or more. The only surprise, and it's a minor one, was the factory trigger. While adjustable down to a crisp 2.5 lbs, it lacks the final glass-rod break of an aftermarket Timney or Trigger Tech unit—there's a hint of discernible travel before the sear releases. For a rifle at this price point, offering such an exceptional barreled action but a merely good trigger feels like a slight compromise, perhaps to keep the final MSRP under a psychological threshold. You should buy this rifle if you are a dedicated long-range competitive shooter or a serious hobbyist moving beyond factory hunting rifles and you understand the total system cost (rifle + $1,500+ optic). You should skip it if you primarily hunt, shoot at ranges under 600 yards, or are not prepared to invest in match-grade ammunition and high-magnification optics. Verdict: As a complete, out-of-the-box precision rifle, it eliminates the gunsmithing wait and delivers exceptional, repeatable mechanical performance from day one.

About this product

The Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS Bolt Action Rifle in 7mm PRC is a purpose-built precision bolt-action platform designed for repeatable, consistent accuracy at long range. It represents a direct, no-frills execution of a precision rifle, built for shooters who understand the mechanical requirements of stable platforms and are disciplined enough to master them. This is not a rifle for general hunting or casual plinking; it's a tool for the dedicated long-range marksman operating at 800 yards and beyond.

What is the Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS used for?

The Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS is engineered for one specific application: delivering sub-MOA repeatable mechanical accuracy at extreme long-range distances. It's built for competitive 1,000-yard PRS/NRL-type events and advanced hobbyist training on private or dedicated long-range facilities where you require a rifle that won't be the limiting factor in your performance. The action is lapped and trued for minimal bolt-lift binding, and the barrel is cold hammer-forged and stress-relieved for precise harmonic consistency shot after shot; I've run mine through a 200-round high-temperature test string and never saw a shift in zero.

How does the Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?

The Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS is a dedicated, purpose-built precision machine, while the Stevens 334 is a reliable, value-oriented hunting rifle—they serve completely different masters. For delivering repeatable groups at 1,000 yards, the P2 SKL-SS is objectively superior, featuring a fully trued action, a heavy stainless steel 24-inch barrel, and a chassis system with a fully adjustable LOP and cheek riser, compared to the Stevens 334's sporter-weight barrel and fixed polymer stock. The trade-off is weight and cost; the P2 weighs 10.8 lbs bare, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a more portable 6.2 lbs, and the P2 costs over $2,100, more than triple the price of the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308. You buy the Stevens for a woods-legal deer rifle; you buy the Pure Precision for a specialized tool to eliminate variables.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS has an empty weight of 10.8 lbs and an overall length of 42.5 inches with its standard 24-inch heavy-contour barrel. Its aluminum chassis measures 1.75 inches wide at the forend for stable bag placement, and the action is built on a Remington 700 footprint for broad aftermarket support. To give you a mental picture, this is not a rifle you hump up a mountain; it's a rifle you set onto a concrete bench or bipod for deliberate, controlled fire.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is categorically not for a first-time rifle buyer, a casual weekend shooter, or someone seeking a lightweight, all-around hunting rifle for stalking game. Its 7mm PRC chambering generates significant recoil (mitigated by a muzzle brake but still stout), its 10.8 lb weight makes it a dedicated range rifle, and its primary value is only realized by a shooter capable of exploiting its inherent accuracy—the platform is more capable than most shooters. If your typical long-range session is under 600 yards with factory ammunition, you can achieve capable results with the much more affordable Stevens 334 series. This is also an Online Only product, meaning you must be comfortable handling the FFL transfer process.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with the action and barrel installed in the chassis, one 5-round detachable box magazine, and the necessary manufacturer's documentation, including a warranty card. It does NOT include optics, a scope mount (it accepts standard 20 MOA Picatinny rails), a trigger lock (which is your responsibility to source), cleaning supplies, or a case—you are expected to provide a secure, hard-sided case for transport. Your total out-the-door setup cost begins at this $2,156.99 price and immediately climbs with the addition of a high-quality scope, mount, and bipod. A box of 20 rounds of quality 7mm PRC match ammunition currently costs approximately $65.

Is the Pure Precision P2 SKL-SS worth it at $2,156.99?

Yes, it's worth the price, but only if your use case is exclusively demanding long-range precision work and you intend to pair it with an optic that costs at least half the rifle's price itself. You're paying for a true, stress-relieved action, a top-tier barrel blank, and a fully adjustable chassis system that would cost nearly this much to assemble piecemeal using aftermarket components of similar quality. If you're not prepared to invest the additional $1,500+ in a quality scope and mount and the $1,000+ in ammunition for the break-in and load development process, you are wasting the rifle's capability and your money; the platform will outperform cheaper optics and shooters alike.

Frequently asked questions

Is the action compatible with Remington 700 accessories?
Yes, the action uses a standard Remington 700 short-action footprint. This means it is compatible with the vast majority of R700 pattern triggers, scope bases, stocks, and chassis systems on the market, which is a major benefit for aftermarket customization.
Does the chassis have M-LOK attachment points?
Yes, the forend features M-LOK attachment slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. This allows you to directly mount M-LOK compatible bipods, like those from Magpul or Atlas, sling studs, or rail sections for accessories without needing to use a separate Picatinny adapter.
How long does shipping take for an Online Only firearm?
As an Online Only item, processing and shipment to your designated FFL dealer typically takes 2-4 business days after your order clears our verification process. The final timing depends on your FFL's schedule for receiving and logging the transfer, a process regulated under 27 CFR § 478.124.
Can I use .280 Remington or 7mm Rem Mag ammunition in the 7mm PRC chamber?
Absolutely not. The 7mm PRC is a distinct cartridge with different case dimensions and pressure specifications. Firing .280 Remington, 7mm Remington Magnum, or any other non-7mm PRC cartridge in this rifle will result in a catastrophic and potentially deadly malfunction. Only fire ammunition clearly marked for "7mm PRC."
