Rhino RA-5R 308

[jake6547]

I just picked up one from RWS, can't find out much info on them. They are very well built rifles, I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet cause I'm waiting on a scope. Any of you guys have one or have any experience with how they shoot?
Thanks in advance.

Let us know how yours performs. Have any pictures? I'm looking for another AR-10/DPMS .308 platform to build a .260 or 6.5 Creedmoor from.

Keep going with the thread - I wanna know what these rifles are capable of! Robert is a good guy so if he's willing to put his name behind it should be a shooter.

Any update on that baby shoots? Really interested in hearing more about these rigs. Held and looked over a couple in 308 and 556 at a local shop. The one with aluminum forearm was actually marked Wilson Combat, which I had heard Rhino was making some of Wilson's parts. Looked like very, very well made, just surprised there is so little chatter on the web about them.

Finally got a chance to take it out and shoot it, first I would like to say how impressed I am with the overall fit and finish of this gun. It has the tightest upper/lower fit I have seen so far from any manufacture, and it comes with a screw in the lower to make it even tighter. I took it to the range today and it really shot a variety of factory loaded ammo very well. With HSM 168 smks .5-.75 moa average es at 50 fps. The best accuracy came from 155 TAP at .300 4 shot groups and es 18 fps, i was so impressed with the first group I loaded 4 more and did the same thing just to make sure it wasn't a fluke group. They guarantee .5 moa and it was up to the challenge today! Ill work on getting some pics up tomorrow.

Thats some awesome shooting and rifle. Ive found when going for groups you should do a minimum of 5shots. A lot can happen and usually does on that 5th shot.

Nice work and keep the info coming!

NIce looking rifle and groups. I can only imagine what it would do with some reloads. Btw elf, if someone posted your comment in one of your threads you would think that someone is shitting in your thread and ask them to delete it. I love double standards lol
