In his Project 02300 series on Greyhive, Sarge Mayhem of Mayhem Defense walks through the exact zeroing process he uses on a budget-built RPR setup, covering trigger adjustment, position changes, and the reasoning behind a 25-yard zero for long-range emulation. The build matters as much as the method. Sarge is running an 18-inch barrel Ruger Precision Rimfire with a half-by-28 thread pitch, a roughly 15-16 inch top rail, an AR-pattern thumb safety upgrade, and a suppressor — the entire setup, glass included, came in around $600. The goal: prove that meaningful precision practice doesn't require a $4,000 chassis gun. Key Takeaways Sarge zeros the Ruger Precision Rimfire at 25 yards to emulate distances out to 300 yards using a Jarvis-printed ballistic target The 18-inch RPR features a half-by-28 thread pitch and accepts AR-style grips and safeties — Sarge runs a 60-degree upgraded thumb safety Trigger is user-adjustable from roughly 2.25 lb up to 5 lb via an onboard tool; Sarge runs his at the max setting Removing the second bolt band converts the throw distance to match a Ruger Precision short-action centerfire (.308, 6.5), making the RPR a cheap trainer …
