I got bit baaaaaad this week at the range. Guy showed up with a spanking new, never fired RPR in 6.5 CM and let me shoot it a few times as he was breaking it in. He set it up with a can, Vortex HST 6-24, Harris bi-pod. Hardly kicked at all, and the muzzle report was so quiet that I could hear the sonic shock wave follow the bullet down the range. Never heard that before.

Later I stopped by the shop he bought it from and there on the wall was a M12LRP in 6.5CM. I'd have to get in line if I wanted the RPR. Might be 2 weeks to a month.

If I traded a few guns, I could get either, but not both. So which one?

I'm reading all the issues with minimum/undersized throats in the 12LRP. Is that issue behind us, or is this one (that's available immediately) likely going to have to go back before I even shoot it?

The RPR is an awesome piece of machinery. Both will shoot bug-holes with off the shelf ammo. RPR has a hammer forged barrel, the LRP is a very heavy barrel.

Decisions, decisions.
