Would a LT111 be a good height for a Vortex Razor HD II? Seems like 1.535 would be enough but don't want to make a mistake?
ETA: Or would the LT104 be a better mount for the RPR? |

Is anyone running a Seekins ambi safety selector in their RPR?
Does it fit better than the orginal safety on the Gen 1s? |

Is there a shorter version of the MI MLok fore end? I know uber extended fore ends are "in", but it seems like unnecessary added weight for ? benefit.

I wonder if MI would make one. I saw one poster made a lightened RPR but still had the normal length rail. He had a 16" fluted barrel and used a normal AR stock.

I found a deal on a RPR 308 gen2 Enhanced I couldn't pass up, they were sold out of the 6.5 Creed.
I purchased 2 boxes of Nosler 30 Caliber 175 Grain RDF HPBT for it and already have a couple kegs of Varget and LC pre loaded with military primers. I only had enough left over from tax returns to get a SS 10X42 with Badger rings for shooting out to 800 yrds. What Varget load is everyone finding in there RPR's with 175's and what brass did you use the load in? I also have H4895 on hand. |

No, it won’t effect your accuracy. If you want a nice shroud, get one from Long Rifles Inc. Mine fit way better than the factory shroud and it just looks better. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DitchDr:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sparkyD:
Another plus is the rifle performance is increased shooting from the bipod or from a barrier. Then when you add the weight of a can it balances better. I shot mine sitting the other day with the tall Harris and was surprised by how stable it was. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sparkyD:

Are there any benefits to the 6mm Creedmoor over the 6.5, or vice versa? That CDNN ad looks tempting. Ammo-wise, it seems 6 and 6.5 are essentially the same price.

I agree about a solid range review before purchasing.
Based on the Rex review of the Savage Model 10 FCP-SR .308 Win its pretty impressive how far budget guns have progressed in a very competitive gun market. Hopefully Ruger has followed suit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1s8aNpCVjQ |

I am seeing more people installing the MPA EVG grip. I had read it has to be modified to work with the RPR.
For you guys that have installed it, what has to be modified? |
