Patriot Valley Arms John Hancock. Hard to beat for the money.
How would you compare the above rifles to the RPR in 6.5cm ?There is a good amount of choice in that space, here are 7 off the top of my head that would be worth looking at.
Bergara (HMR, BMP, LRP), Havak Pro HP1, PVA John Hancock, T3X Tac A1, MPA BA Lite PCR.
thanks for taking the time to write the reply.something to think aboutIMO and in no particular order since they're all somewhat different in feature set:
- RPR with upgraded barrel (LRI, PVA, Proof), upgraded Seekins SP3R forend, upgraded Magpul PRS stock. This can be done for as low as $1500 after selling the takeoff parts. You've got a short bolt lift, double feed double stack action/mag, awesome flat bottom forend. Just a solid rifle that will perform well.
- Christensen MPR. A touch over $2K and a very solid do all rifle from my short experience so far.
- PVA John Hancock. New to the market so nobody really has experience with one but based on the parts list and the company putting it all together I'm confident it will be solid.
Upside to the RPR and MPR is they're available now. Another upside to the RPR is the initial investment is lower and the upgrades can be made later. If you're a tinkerer it will also be somewhat a "project" if you will vs just mounting an optic and going out to shoot.
If the budget is only for the rifle, the John Hancock from PVA would be my pick.

The John Hancock from patriot Valley Arms is the only rifle that should be considered in this price range. Head and shoulders above the rest. A true custom build at a bargain price
I'd say they might be a little over priced for what they are and should be sub 1k, then they would be a value buy!Howa Bravo is gonna be hard to beat

We do know. PVA gave me one chambered in 6.5x47L to test and put through the paces which I did extensive testing on over the past 2 months with all the popular bullets.
It hammers. I shot many one hole groups and easily sub 1/2moa to 700 yds which is the furthest I tested it.
I shot 30rd strings over the Labradar with SD's of 4.5
