I had the rpr in 308, the enhanced version model 18004. Overall the gun functioned flawlessly but the accuracy was not precision in my opinion. I tried 100's of different hand loads and same for factory match loads all with same results. 3 holes clover leaf and 2 off to the side. If it was just a 3 shot group that would be good, 3/4 moa but with the 2 off to the side it would be 1 moa to 1 1/2. Every group was like this and every group also had a first shot flier, regardless of clean or dirty bore. So I sold that and picked up a stealth 6.5 last week. Today was my 1st outing with it. I only had one box hornady 120 amax, and 10 rounds of the 140 amax, both factory. First ten rounds were used for barrel break in and sight in, I one shot clean blah blah blah. After sighting in I did a 3 shot group, all I'm the same hole. Cleaned again and did a 5 shot group, 3 in the same hole and 2 touching that hole, 1/2 moa easily. Had 2 rounds left and both were in the same hole again. The 140's had the exact same results! This gun is exactly what my thoughts on on precision, under 1/2 moa 5shot groups with factory ammo is superb in my opinion. I left the micrometer at home since it as the first outing and factory ammo, all groups were easily covered with a dime. Both guns had the same scope and rings used on them, viper PST 4-16-50 ffp. They were both shot off a lead sled and or bags. All shots were at 100 yards. So in the accuracy department the stealth all the way. I know I'm comparing a 308 to a 6.5 but it was only at 100 yards and the rpr in 6.5 is a ghost. That being said the rpr functioned flawlessly, the savage not so much. I had a few times with the 120 amax's that the round would cock going into the chamber being fed from the magazine, had to pull back the bolt a little and retry. One time I had to remove the magazine to get the round into the chamber. Also had a few that were hard to extract, bolt was stiff to lift and hard to pull back. The 140's had zero issues. Hope this helps!!
