I'm a fan of the inherent accuracy of the round, so much so that I want to re-barrel my 10FCP-HS to 6.5CM. It is my humble opinion that the savage action is superior to the (Ruger American?) action that is clam shelled into the RPR "chassis". In addition, it looks like one can obtain proper eye relief behind the savage without the 1.5" rings required by the RPR, even at the stocks lowest setting. There are currently several barrel manufacturers selling pre-fit barrels for the RPR, as well as a multitude of other accessories given the infancy of the platform. it's only a matter of time until a trigger hits the market. I like my RPR, but I'd take a similarly equipped savage over it any day of the week
Amen to that brother. Once you have the RPR and handle it for a bit you notice the cheap aspect of the rifle. For example, the bolt shroud is a plastic POS and there is a bit of wobble between the rear of the stock and the action area. IMO Savage makes better rifles, more quality and better accuracy. I think Ruger came out with the RPR and the novel design of it and people have been swarming to get in on the action, but I think it's a lot more hype than anything else. I bought mine for $999 plus tax. The price point is attractive and so is the rifle, but I recommend to anyone considering buying the RPR to reconsider and look at Savage instead. I couldn't be more impressed with the accuracy and precision of my 12 F/TR, and it cost me $1099 plus tax - just $100 more than the RPR.
