When I first started shooting my rifle I was shooting Hornady ammo and would put the empty casings back into the box. Almost all of them would not go back into the plastic holder easily due to case expansion. Now I am not getting that. I am assuming this would indicate a drop in chamber pressure due to throat wear? If so, is this normal in around 700 rounds? My guess is the consistency of the plastic used to hold the shells. Either that or since it's winter now, the plastic has contracted causing the holes to be larger. Measure your recent fired cases next to your old ones before you start worrying about erosion. Even then it will be at the throats and unlikely to affect chamber measurements. |

no posts in this thread for a week, sheesh!!
maybe demand is slowing down for these. around christmas I saw one in dicks sporting goods for $1499 A local shop got one for $1450 this week. Is that how much these suckers are going for now? I was trying to hunt one down for a while (before the gen 2) and could never find one but the places that did have them sold them for around $1050. I gave up looking and now it seems like they are starting to pop up but I hadnt planned on spending $1500 on one. |

Demand is at least slowing down for the 308 models. I finally got my 308 2 weeks ago after waiting 9 months for it on order at a local FFL for $1150. My FFL just got 12x 308's, for $1180, in and were taking names for all of them. Another local FFL was showing the 308s in stock for $1140, but did not mention how many were on the truck.

I got to handle a .308 RPR Gen 2 today. Really nice. The safety seemed nice and tight. Was the safety modified at all between gen 1 and 2 besides the spring?

Another question- has anyone here used LRI's Cathedral Port Muzzle Brake on there rifle? Ill probably be ordering a 6.5CM barrel at the end of the month and cant decide what to do. I like that it is contoured to match the barrel will mate seamlessly but not sure if its worth the money compared to similar brakes. Or maybe I skip a brake all together and just get a thread protector and call it a a day. Any thoughts? |

I don't own an RPR yet, so your mileage may vary, but I have shot a 6.5 without a break and it was not bad at all. Still plenty soft enough to spot impacts. My .308 was tough to spot impacts without a break, the break has helped but still not great. I think you will be happy shooting it break-less till you find one you want |

The recoil without a brake isn't bad but with the brake it makes watching hits and subsequent follow up shots much easier and quicker. http://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/08/21/muzzle-brake-summary-of-field-test-results/  Attached File |

Ive read all 60 of these pages but I cant for the life of me rememeber if anyone is running the Larue LT104 35mm Rings with a Razor Gen I on their gen II RPR. I havent been able to find any 35mm rings that are high enough to create the proper sight picture. For $160 i think the LT104 is a good choice. Advertised scope height of 1.5", which seems to be the magic number for the RPR. I've already ordered them so I'll report back when i get it all together.

ADM-Recon mount is available with 35mm rings as well. |

Not a Razor Gen I, but I've got a Millett LRS-1 in an LT104 QD mount on my Gen 1 RPR and it works just fine. 35mm scope body and 56mm objective clears the pic rail just fine. I had to remove the center section of velcro from my Wiebad cheek bag to get low enough for the proper eye position, but if you're using just the bare stock or a thinner cheek bag you should be GTG. |

Subscribed. I think this will be my next purchase. Every review speaks very highly of the rifle and markets it as a great out of the box precision kit for those looking to get into longer range precision rifles (me). Now I need to find a 6.5 CM and get going.

Don't buy one, you'll be sorry!!
LOL..First you gotta glass it, then buy a case for it (not just any case will do..) get a sling, suppressor, etc, etc....it will soon become a favorite.... you may even start leaving all the other rifles in the safe..

Welcome to the club! See I'm working backwards. I bought a AAC Cyclone with the tax stamp paid by Silencer Shop. I bought it with a bolt gun in mind (I have none at the moment). I'm already shopping glass too and need to be ready to pounce on a 6.5 when I get the chance. I've got the Talladega CMP Range not too far with 600 yd electronic targets I'd love to wear out. I joked that this rifle may make me buy some property just to stretch out even further. |

Hey guys, first time posting here but I've been reading for a number of years. I've been trying to work my way through all of the RPR threads. I bought a Gen 2 .308 back in early November. So far I love the gun, have been digging through a lot of brands of ammo to find what it likes. I went to the range yesterday to find a good load (factory and my reloads), conditions were around 40° with 15-18 mph winds starting as a head wind and shifting towards 2 o'clock near the end of the session, all groups were shot at 100yds using a Lead Sled. I was able to get some groups down around the .5moa (3 shot groups, I was looking for the OCW so I decided to load less rounds of each charge weight to cover a wider spread). FGMM 168 had a 4 shot 1.3moa group with a called flier, without the flier was .396 moa, Black Hills 168 was around .53 moa, and I had two reloads around .51 and .57 moa, so the gun certainly has some potential.
My question to you guys is as follows, I tried shooting some of the Prime 175 ammo for a 5 shot group, and the group split on me. Shots 1 and 3 hit together, and then shots 2,4 and 5 hit together. Total group size was .73 moa (So this isn't a complaint, as much as it sounds that way haha. I'm hoping you guys can help me settle in whether it was shooter, rifle, or conditions). Shots 1/3 were nearly one hole at .16moa and shots 2/4/5 were nearly one hole again at .20 moa. Do you guys think that I just need to hone my fundamentals, or do you think that may be the accuracy limit of the factory gun, or do you think I may not have paid enough attention to the winds during the group? |

I don't think they are as stable, don't allow for correct recoil, and don't allow for correct firing position.

What kind of accuracy are you guys seeing from these things? 308? 6.5?
Was at the LGS today and they had a 308 and they were making some pretty impressive claims about match grade factory, and reload accuracy. Basically 1/2" for match and sub 1/4 for reloads in 6.5. Is that realistic?? |

The best I have shot from my RPR 6.5 is .386 moa, typically it shoots .4 to .7 moa with me at the trigger. My handloads shoot more precisely than commercial ammo (but I have only shot one box of Hornady match ammo). Here's my best grouping, shot at 200 yards.

Newer or non rifle shooters really don't understand what it takes to truly get down into that level of accuracy. There's a reason it's usually restricted to bench guns and their OCD extreme ammo and prep level. |

Mine (.243) has been shooting consistently at .75 MOA with handloads. It'll occasionally turn in a .5 or so group, but I'm pretty sure that's luck. It was awfully picky about what load it liked, though. Took me a while to find it and I was getting pretty frustrated until I did.
Interestingly enough, I found that I shoot it better from prone with a bipod and rear bag than from sandbags on a bench. I'm wondering if that's because of the round handguard not being very stable on the bags. |

I'm wondering if that's because of the round handguard not being very stable on the bags. I found a load for the 243 rather quickly. Maybe I got lucky. Mine really came to life with Norma MRP with a Berger 105 HVLD in win brass and a cci250. Initial loads printed .6 MOA and developed into a consistent .4 MOA load with as many shots I want to shoot at the target, usually 5-10. Final load ended up .007" off the lands. Run an ocw from 43 to 45 grains. Mine tuned in at 44.2 of MRP. |

OK guys I believe its time for a barrel upgrade. First of all I am local to LRI (15 min away). I saw some really good reviews on their barrels so they are my first choice so far. I have also been looking at proof research, they offer a standard stainless barrel for $175.00 cheaper than LRI and they also have the carbon fiber version that I'm looking at as well for $850.00. What do you guys think?
Also open to other suggestions. I have built several ars, but never barreled a bolt gun. Is this something a guy could do himself? I realize you need a set of go/no go gauges and a barrel vise. What else is needed? Thanks |

I called Kreiger last week, and the guy I talked to said they were going to introduce pre-fit RPR barrels next month! They've done all the testing, theyre only trying to finalize all the details and set the pricing. I'm hoping to get one of the first, because IMHO, Kreiger barrels are some of the best ever made!

I picked up a gen II on Monday. Got it bore sighted and I'm off on Friday. I got an envited to a private range with 600 yard range, so I'm going to try several different loads from the Honardy 129 and eld 147 and a few federal 140. I'm topping it with a 4/20/50 weaver FFP scope for now. I'll post a small review later.

So.....I picked up some barrels from LRI Saturday morning. They look NICE. I went from six to midnight
 .Can't wait to get mine on my gun. Taking the old barrel off was pretty easy, one rap with the old ar wrench and the reciever spun right off. Still waiting on my headspace gauges though.
I figured I'd ask if anyone had some good load data for that barrel with the 140 eld and h4350. My load for the factory tube was 41.5gr loaded at mag length.(I have the measurements written down) and it was a shooter. Not sure how far back in this thread, but I have some pics of some groups. To be honest not sure why I'm rebarreling, my gun was a shooter. I'm sitting at 1600 rds +/- 20 and hadn't seen any accuracy degradation. Anyway if ya got any good load recipes....Post them up. Thanks guys. |

Does anyone have any ballistic data / tables or can point me where to look for the RPR?
Plan on building my own data, but having a starting point helps. Currently have it zeroed at 100 yards. Trying to figure out the drop at 2, 3, 4 & 500 yards. I've got a 6.5 Creedmore (gen 2) with a stock 24" barrel and am shooting Hornady 120 grain A-MAX, match ammo. Thanks. |

Without any velocity data from your rifle you aren't going to get any help. You can get very good data from many online ballistic calculators - but you NEED to know your bullet velocity from your rifle first! |

That's the issue, I'm fighting with, it's a new rifle and I don't have a chronograph, and don't have immediate access to one. Was hoping someone with another gen2 RPR might be shooting the same round and I could at least get started with that.

If you are shooting a factory load, you can look your velocity up online, but even that is sketchy as you will have differences because of elevation, barometric pressure, etc. etc. If you are shooting hand loads (as I do) you will need to bite the bullet and get a chrono, no way around it.

Thanks for your help. Lots of bullets to bite. Haven't gotten into reloading (yet) but have been saving 9mm, 5.56 and now 6.5 for quite some in anticipation -and it's getting close to taking the plunge.
