    Think thats the one. Big thing they were trying to see how it did as a straight drop in barrel rather than also messing with some other bits. Forget what as I'm not a precision rifle guy so its all voodoo to me.

    There's not alot of factory guns that couldn't benefit or see some improvement with a custom barrel, and I think it speaks volumes of the design that it can get 1/4 with just a barrel upgrade. Jury's still out on mine but I have faith.

    I agree, I use my fore end for a bipod and sling mount. I'm not going to buy a $5k clip on NV imager for my $900 gun. Someone might but I'd expect them to have a slightly better rifle to put it on.

    I think alot of people expected way more out of this gun than they should have.

    Your probably right but it seems to be a great base to get someone into the sport of draining your bank account for the reason of hitting something small at a very long distance .

    I totally agree, it is a great starter, even into intermediate. There's just alot of complaints and I'm just surprised. I think it's an outstanding rifle and love the minimal trigger time I've had. I didn't mean to come off like that.

    Please........ Shooters would complain over the bolt handle angle, number of slots in the f/float tube, or even the thread protector. Having checked one out at my house. For the price point (IMO) it's a turn key operation. I haven't shot LD in probably 12-15 years. For me, being able to open the box and have a factory rifle i can put a scope & suppressor on, be shooting the same day. Is a great way to get back in to the game, without having to drop more $$$ for accessories this rifle comes stock with.

    I'm waiting till the holidaze, when some one needs money and their RPR has been collecting dust not round count

    The rattling safety is my personal favorite. If it don't go click when I don't want it to, I can handle a little jiggling, been doin it for years!

    I've seen a few pop up on other sites already, albeit for a ridiculous amount.. I'm keeping mine though, the wife is really convinced I got it for her!

    Once I've established a little rapport with the site, the offer will stand if you want to test drive one at a range if you didn't get the chance before.

    Is the rattling because of an out of spec receiver or safety selector? Should be mil-spec sizes.
    If the Odds are equal, you're doing it wrong

    As stated before I'm not an AR guy but my understanding is that the hole is milled a little larger than normal and there's no spring. I have read that some guys have put other safeties in and that has helped. I did a couple drop tests when I got mine and it works as intended. It's actually harder than any other safety I have to actuate.

    ????

    This is long range rifle. There is no "Mil-Spec". That is not even an AR safety.
