Beginner long distance shooter

How would you compare the RPR to say a Savage 10T in 6.5C dropped into an MDT chassis? Seems they'd be about the same price.

Like Mark said, if PRS is a thought, RPR is the better option due to the production class possibility, unless you wanted to shoot the savage in stock trim.

That said, I'd go with the RPR anyway just because it's a better investment, It's one of the few guns in that class that you won't lose hardly any money on weather you decide it's not for you, or if you decide to sell it and upgrade. They are the hot ticket for the new shooter right now in a sport that's taking off like 3 gun did in the 90's so the resale is both good and typically extremely fast, so if you buy it right, you won't lose much if anything.


As for the other part of the debate, I've seen both rifles absolutely hammer, and I've seen folks fight with accuracy on both. Sometimes you get lucky and the rifle loves a certain factory ammo, but factory ammo being the best load for any given rifle is rare. I've gone through many barrels chambered by the same reamer and made from the same blanks with sequential serial numbers and have yet to find 2 that shoot their best with exactly the same load. It always takes a touch of tweaking.
