Here we go with another view, or review, of the RAP in 6.5. Now, I'm not a gun expert, I don't work for any companies and I definitely won't be getting any reimbursement for this. So, here goes. I'm always interested in different calibers and, being a tightwad and broke, I usually have to trade into, barter, or sell something to try out the newest, latest and greatest. Cash only and no credit cards keeps me this way. I traded an old Mauser that I had exactly $325 in for my RAP that also came with a Timney trigger that wasn't installed. I 1st shot the gun with the stock trigger and a Leupold 3x9x40 a few weeks ago. I shot 24 rounds and could tell it was a descent shooter, but it didn't knock my socks off. Of course I was learning the rifle and it's not fun shooting at the range with casings hitting you from the guy next to you. Anyway, this week I found a cheap Bushnell Banner scope, 6x18x50AO, on Craigslist and purchased it. I was very surprised at the clarity of this scope, very surprised. I stopped by the range today and shot 20 rounds of Hornady American Whitetail and 16 rounds of Hornady Precision Hunter. Most of the shots were "shoot 2 and adjust scope, then shoot again". I was also figuring out where I could aim the multiplex reticle and see where they hit. Trying to use the 3 points on the plex for different yardage. Anyway, I'm very happy with how it shoots and can't wait to stretch it out past 100 yards. Here's a few pics. It's a fun gun, and caliber, and I'll shoot it until I'm bored and want something different,,,,maybe.
