[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 905347, member: 35183"] I have heard many bad reports on the LRP so I doubt it deserves its asking price. Now the Model 12 VLP, I have a couple of those and they are good actions. The long fluted varmint barrels look flashy, but their twist rate does not support shooting even 95gr VLD's unless you live at high altitude. However, they are desirable with Savage owners who own blued barrels, so a new take off factory varmint barrel should get you a return of $180, thus more than half the fee for a good 1:8 26" match barrel. Talk to Jim at NSS and watch MidwayUSA, they have these barrels in stock from Shilen every now and again. If you take the model 12 route, you should be all set up with a new match barrel for under $1000 and have a much better rifle than the LRP, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
