There seems to be lots of info on the web for the RPR in 6.5. I understand the benefits of 6.5, however, I am more interested in a .308. This choice is due to the fact that I already have quite a bit of .7.62x51 ammo on hand and lower component costs for reloading 308.
Does anyone have any experience specifically with the 308 RPR? I do not plan to compete at this point but would like a solid rifle to learn the basics of distance shooting. I foresee this rifle mainly being used on the 300 yard range at my club, with perhaps an occasional field trip to a local facility that offers 1000 yard + ranges. This rifle will be used with a Rugged Surge suppressor most of the time.
Is the accuracy and feature set of the RPR versus the Predator worth while? I hear internet rumor that the free float barrel on the predator is too flimsy to support the weight of a suppressor. If the RPR is the same barrel as some posts claim, does it suffer the same issue?
