Are the RPR and American the same?
Well, I guess I made the decision to start producing the RPR barrel. If anybody's ever looked at an RPR barrel it has some strange idiosyncratic machining that is required. I think I may have figured out a way around it but I need to test it. I don't even have an RPR.
No, they're not the same......RPR has a shoulder ring on it. American is similar to Savage setups with different threading.Are the RPR and American the same?
Any updates on accuracy improvement over stock barrel ?

No 22-250. The one I got from you is just fine for me. Those 80gr bullets just keep following each other straight down the range and try to hide in the same hole. Really turned out good.You have an RPR Nick?
I suppose you'll want a 22-250.![]()

My Ruger is a 6.5 Creedmoor and shoots pretty good but I am always open for something different.
I want to thank you for the time you took to help and old man out.
We finally had some decent weather today. It was 37 degrees and sunny with light wind, so I headed to the local public range for another round of testing the @urbanrifleman RPR barrel chambered in 6XC. A bunch of retired guys were hold up on the 100 yard range doing more talking than shooting, so I moved over to the 200 yard range which I had all to myself.
Today I was testing a load work up with 108 Bergers and IMR 8208 XBR. When the dust settled I had fired 3 foulers and nine 3 shot groups. I measured four groups under 3/4”, four groups right around 1” and one group that measured 1.5”. I’m pretty sure I pulled one on that 1.5” group. The best group of the day was a .206” followed by a .361” group.
Overall I am very pleased with this barrel and excited to see how it shoots with a well sorted out load, although that probably won’t happen until spring. I think these barrels are a great value for anyone in the market for a Prefit barrel including RPR owners now.

Sooner or later he will not be the best kept secret! He does amazing work
