I bought the 338 RPR the first week it came out. I have 2 of the smaller ones. I'm intrigued by the design. They're described as chassis guns, but they're not. They're the next evolution past that. The receiver is the chassis. The 338 RPR is also the first modern mass produced gun I know of specifically designed for the 338 Lapua cartridge. In my mind, it is also the most cost effective by a wide margin.

I can't tell you how it shot though. I replaced 26" 338 barrel with a 32" 300 Norma before I fired a shot. Look me up if you shoot out yours.

I live ~75 minutes from the NorCal URSA range and 30 minutes from a private ranch with targets from 1200 to 2300 yards. I have other ELR guns, but the RPR is one of my favorites.
How is the trigger on the magnum RPR? Is it as good as the 6.5 creedmoor? I replaced my trigger spring with one from a ball point pen and now it’s 15 Oz with practically no travel or overtravel
