Ruger Precision Rifle .338 Lapua: Teflon-Coated Durability

When you’re building a rifle setup for serious long-range work, reliability and feed consistency matter as much as barrel harmonics and optics. We’ve spent countless days on the range and in the field testing components that make the difference between a good day and a wasted one. Durability, corrosion resistance, and precise fit are non-negotiable for components that support high-pressure cartridges.

RUGER PRECISION — Made in the USA this metal box magazine is finished in Tefloncoated black nitride. It fits the Precision Rifle chambered in .338 Lapua only. The secure construction and hard finish mean this is a realistic upgrade for anyone running a .338 Lapua on a Ruger Precision platform.

For those who value pragmatic gear choices: this is a purpose-built metal box magazine for the .338 Lapua chambered Precision Rifle. At $58.49 it’s positioned as an affordable, tactical-grade feeding solution when compared to some billet or polymer specialty magazines.

Design and Finish: Why Teflon-Coated Black Nitride Matters

The advertised Tefloncoated black nitride finish is more than marketing language. Black nitride treatments increase surface hardness and wear resistance, while the Teflon coating improves lubricity and helps repel fouling and moisture. In a metal magazine, that combination reduces binding during rapid cycling and improves long-term corrosion resistance — especially important with a high-pressure round like the .338 Lapua Magnum, which generates significant bolt and feed forces.

Made in the USA: Fit and Quality Control

Ruger’s decision to manufacture this magazine domestically ties to tighter quality control and consistent fitment for the Precision Rifle family. The listing specifies it fits the Precision Rifle chambered in .338 Lapua only, so expect the feed-lips, follower geometry, and overall dimensions to be optimized for the larger cartridge profile. Proper fit reduces chances of misfeeds and ensures consistent stack height under recoil.

Why the .338 Lapua Compatibility Is Important

The .338 Lapua Magnum is a long-range, high-energy cartridge favored for extended-range precision and hunting applications where extra energy and ballistic coefficient matter. Magazines designed specifically for .338 Lapua need to account for larger overall length and cartridge geometry. The RUGER PRECISION magazine being dedicated to .338 Lapua only is a benefit: it avoids compromises that sometimes come with multi-caliber mags and ensures the magazine tolerances are correct for that cartridge family.

Applications and Use Cases

Expect this magazine to suit precision shooters, long-range competitors, and hunters who prefer the .338 Lapua for distant targets or larger game. In precision setups, a reliable metal magazine with a hard finish reduces maintenance interruptions and handling issues. For range days where you’re pushing rounds through a .338 Lapua bolt gun, the Tefloncoated black nitride finish helps the magazine shrug off grit and fouling from extended strings of fire.

Practical Handling, Maintenance, and Longevity

Metal magazines with treated finishes are straightforward to maintain: basic disassembly, inspection of the follower and spring, and light lubrication where appropriate keep feed geometry consistent. The Tefloncoated black nitride surface cuts down on the frequency of lubrication needed and is forgiving in austere environments. For storage, a dry, cool place and occasional light oiling of exposed spring surfaces will maximize service life.

Installation Tips

When fitting the RUGER PRECISION magazine into the Precision Rifle chambered in .338 Lapua, ensure the magazine seats fully and locks with a positive click. Check bolt lift and feed angle with snap caps if available, and run a few single-round function checks before live-fire strings. Properly seating and verifying feed performance reduces surprises on the line.

Value and Specification Notes

At $58.49 this metal box magazine represents a practical balance between premium finishes and an accessible price point. The single-caliber compatibility is an intentional choice; the listing’s explicit note that it fits the Precision Rifle chambered in .338 Lapua only should guide buyers who want a dedicated, no-compromise magazine for that cartridge. As a Ruger accessory part, it complements the broader Precision Rifle ecosystem and matches expectations for fit and finish.

Whether you’re upgrading a factory magazine, replacing a worn part, or building a match-ready rifle, this metal magazine’s treated finish and dedicated .338 Lapua fit make it a strong candidate for reliable feed performance.
