[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1219600, member: 54178"] LOVE IT! Excellent shooting. Your RAP rifle is as accurate as my 6.5 CM Ruger Precision Rifle that I use for competition. BTW, I agree, the RPR is NOT for hunting unless you take an ATV to your stand. That's why I have the Predator. I'll use it this year backpacking in Nevada's Jarbige Wildenness for mules and cow elk. Think about joining the 6.5 Creedmoor Forum. Lots of info there. I have the same RAP in 6.5 Creedmoor. I put an SWFA 5 - 15 x 42 scope on it. First focal plane, mil/mil and side focus knob. The glass is excellent for a $600. scope, hell, even for a $1,000. scope. Your Weaver scope is in the next price bracket above mine and is also a great buy. Due to the heat wave here in 'Vegas (110 - 113 F. ) I haven't sighted it in yet. I'm using Hornady 143 gr. ELD-X factory cartridges B/C my garage has been too beastly hot to do hand loading. COMING MODS: 1. Boyd's Classic laminated stock (V blocks bedded with JB Weld) 2. Timney trigger 3. Savage 110 aluminum trigger guard (fits the Boyd's stock perfectly) 4. Uncle Mike's Flush Cup sling swivels All the mods including the scope & Burris 4 bolt rings are medium priced items, in keeping with the rifle's price. But, like the rifle, they are the best for the money. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
