Eh, I could see value in a Ruger answer to the MVP that was more precision oriented.

But the RPR in it's current form is straight up revolutionary.

Nice idea, but it would have to be a different rifle.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ruger does it considering how innovative they've been lately.

A smaller RPR that uses AR mags could accommodate several different cartridges/calibers.

I like it. Anyone know the weight? I'm not a huge fan of that forend but it looks like and 6.5 is a ba load.

fingered one today. heavy, but seems to be pretty well balanced, somehow. also, the forend can be replaced with any AR15 forend. so you can sell the samson and put on anything else that you like better.

As of right now that's not right. Many people have reported that their rails aren't fitting. However it looks like Seekins will be making a rail for it soon.

Dang. I was hoping to run an SLR solo light or ALG EMR V2...

We got one in 6.5 at the Academy where I work. I want it badly. Too bad I'm broke.

I think it's $1099.99.

A guy at the range this weekend let me take a couple of shots with his new RPR in 6.5 Creedmore. I had been shooting .308 all morning through my FN SPR. I limited myself to two shots with the RPR so as to be polite with the ammo. It didn't recoil much, along the lines of .223.

Interesting. We stood around and made the usual range talk. I'm still not sure I want one, seeing as I'm well invested in .308. As long as I can get "practical utility" at 600 yards with my current setups, I'm happy.

Seriously considering one.

The Samson, like many similar aluminum/keymod fore-ends, is probably as light as possible, while still being sufficiently rigid to take a fairly tight shooting sling, OR a fore-end mounted bipod. I have some doubts as to whether commonly available plastic AR fore-ends are either designed, or capable, of doing such tasks. In the event of such a happy occasion, the choices are wider, still.

I want one. They seem like good long range rifles and if you shoot the barrel out you can replace it for the cost of the barrel, AR wrench, and a headspace gauge. Changing calibers may also require a new bolt or bolt face if they are replaceable. They are a respectable tool to shoot long range and learn how to shoot long range, like trajectory, wind drift, load development, whatever.
AR10 mags take longer cartridges than AR15 mags so this might give you some freedom with overall length for the 6.5 Creedmore. I'm not aware of the details or possibilities here.

I'm mostly interested because my AR10 in .308 and 20" barrel does not seem to make the velocity to reach 1000 yards. So I'm looking for a 1000 yard gun in the Creedmore or .308 if you can get a 24" barrel for it too.
