Any thoughts or actual experience with the rifle would be appreciated Excellent bang for the buck. I've seen them shoot very consistently, very far out. 60° throw, adjustable stock, and the magazine well is pure genius.

They are good shooters. I cant comment on the trigger but it needs to be really good for Xlongrange shooting.
A little heavy for me but if you like the "AR" "Chassis" look then, its a good one
more and more companies are coming up with after market barrels and accessories for it too.

I shot a buddy's this last weekend and now I want one. It is a great shooting gun and I really liked the trigger. The gun is heavier than I would like but it would not stop me from getting one.

I've shot a Creedmoor and it is a great rifle. For the price and features you can't go wrong!!

There were a bunch of QC issues reported on the Gen2 on the RPR Facebook page. So be sure to go over it really well before walking out of the store with it. Also read the guy installing the flash hider has never heard of a torque wrench and muscles it on really really tight.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Lots of gun factories employ a Silver Back Gorilla that is running the wrench
Tikka barrels to actions are the same way.
