You won’t be disappointed. We have several $4K to $6K bench rest rifles and we all keep going back to the rpr. All 5 of us bought at different times through all 3 generations and they can all shoot 1/2” moa easy and better.

Awesome. I hate to say that the stock was a large reason I bought the rifle. The first day at the range I quickly discovered that I disliked the stock more than any other!!!! Went straight home and ordered a PRS. Couldn’t be happier.
Picked up my RPR and installed the PRS. Now I’m trying to decide on glass and rings.
For rings it’s more of a 1 or 2 piece decision.
When it comes to glass the short list is Nikon Black FX1000, Vortex PST Gen 2 or Nightforce SHV.
Then of course the usual MOA vs MIl decision.

I purchased the Nikon and while I havent used the NF or Vortex, I got the Nikon on sale for $570 shipped...with its feature list it just cant be beat at that price.
I put a Vortex Razor HD gen 1 on mine with a one piece LaRue mount. I couldn’t be happier. Moa all the way for me.
I don’t blame you, for that price it would be an easy decision!!
i was looking at all the scopes you listed as well, pretty seriously was considering the NF...i even received a defective FX1000 from the get go, ghost click in the windage turret, SportOptics is replacing no questions asked am Im still extremely happy with my decision. Very clear glass and feature rich.
If you are still looking I have an fx1000 4-16 mil for sale 600 shipped with a level and she signatire rings. 550 without rings
How about the reticle? Looking at it online it looks like the center aiming point is pretty crowded?
I’m looking for higher magnification but may I ask why you are getting rid of it?
Its a spare i have a second on my match rifle. I like it for the extra internal adjustment. I use it in prs competitions and have had no problems with the reticle. Subtensions have been solid to 1200 from what ive done. Tracking has been great also. If i didnt have 2 of them and down to 1 match rifle id be keeping it. I had one in moa before i started prs on a hunting rifle. I actual prefer the 16 power. Even when i ran an xtrii 5-25 i stayed under the 18 power range. Not sure why just never needed 25 power
I can attempt to add some true pictures of the reticle. Not sure if it'll give the glass any justice coming from a cellphone pic though
It is a closed reticle as in there is no floating dot, however it doesnt feel crowded to me at all. Field of view is pretty good at all magnifications
Well, I'm back with an update here. Finally made a decision, I was fortunate enough to up my budget a bit,
Just purchased a Bergara LRP in 6.5 creedmoor! I'm extremely excited and it's my first true precision rifle. I'm in CA and I had to order it, can't start paperwork until it's in hand in the store so probably gonna be about 2-3 weeks before I have it. So this will be my first time set up:
Bergara LRP
Nikon FX1000 4-16x50
Badger Ordnance rings
Harris bipod
Will post pics when I have her!
