Another RPR newb here, been thinking about getting a RPR in 6.5 for a while now and it seems the Gen 2s are coming down in price so thinking about biting the bullet. My question is on glass, looking at the Vortex 6-24x50 but don't know what the difference is between the PST and the HST. What makes the PST $300 more and is it worth it? Am I better off buying once and crying once? OR should I really cry and go for the Razor 
Also, what's a good mount? What about reticles? Current range only goes to 200meters, but they intend to open it up to 400, then 600 then 1000meters(but there is no set date for when these distances will happen, they're moving dirt but it's a slow process for them as the budget allows). I haven't done much long range shooting because I haven't had a place to go, but if they follow through that will be changing. So don't want to get a scope that would be good for now but if I try to stretch it out as the range (and hopefully my skill) progress would need to be replaced later

Difference between the 6-24x HST and GenI PST (second focal plane model) is wire vs. etched reticle, no illumination vs. with illumination, VMR vs. EBR reticle.
HSTs have no FFP model. |

Is the reticle really worth $300???
What does the knob do by the ocular lens on the PST? The HST doesn't have one there |

Anyone have a bulk go to for 6.5cm ammo?
I've just been buying from the local stores, horn match, horn American, etc Anyone tried the Prime ammo? My wife enjoys shooting the rpr as much as I do, so we're burning through ammo. Reloading it is on my to do list, but not yet. |

What hard case works for a folded stock RPR?
|

|
|
Posted: 7/5/2017 1:09:42 PM EDT
[#40]
I was playing around with the stock adjustments on mine, and realized that the bottom rail doesn't quite line up with the channel in the clamping part. As such, I have to angle it slightly causing undue drag, as the surfaces aren't completely parallel. I haven't seen this addressed in other posts. Is this typical? It would certainly explain why so many have difficulty adjusting it. I don't plan on adjusting it once set, so I'm not too concerned - just curious.
