If anyone is looking to retrofit their RPR, or maybe run a multi caliber system, Brownells is now carrying Criterion 6mm CM & 6.5x47L barrels. Look to be 26", 1:8, and either Palma or target contours. If you use code "L9Q", it'll get you $30 off and free shipping.

How is headspace established using these barrels? I have never owned a RPR so have zero experience swapping barrels.

Barrel nut.  It's easy.   I don't like running anything with a small primer in an RPR.  The firing pin holes are sloppy and I see them start to blow primers.

So it's similar to the Savage?

This, I get phenomenal accuracy out of my RPR with Hornady and Norma brass. I tried Lapua 6.5 creedmoor brass with the small primer and accuracy went to shit.

Pretty much.  Different style nut but the concept is the same.
