Two questions:

What length barrel is that?

Did it arrive sooner than the originally quoted date?

I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of mine.

Mr_MagicMallyMall · Jun 12, 2013

EDS, it's a 20" barrel. I ordered in early March. I would say it's probably close to the quoted delivery time. I honestly can't remember the exact estimated DD but I want to say I remember it being around 4 months. Which in fact is real quick considering I have another 5 for my GAPs to come in...womp womp.

You do realize that after shooting it, you'll be.....ruined!

Mine loves Black Hills 168s and FGMM 175s.

Good luck.

Mr_MagicMallyMall · Jun 12, 2013

Yea....sigh. What optics you guys running/planning on running?

JP has been working hard at getting rifles out as soon as they can. When I ordered my LRP07 in January they said the wait could take as long as November. My dealer received it a month ago. So yeah JP has done an outstanding job turning out rifles considering the demand.

I am considering ordering a build for a LRP-07 as well. Do you guys think the heatsink is worth the extra cash?

I plan to use the new Nightforce 2.5-10x42nxs. I thought it would take longer to receive the gun so I went ahead and bought the new Nightforce ATACR for a different gun. So it will be a month or so before I have the spare funds to spend another 2K for glass.

I did not put it on mine. I figure there are lots of guys running full auto in combat situations, and they don't have it...

I went through a lot of thought before I scoped my LRP-07. Had a NF 2.5-10x32 on it and liked it a lot.

Then I ended up with a NF 3.5-15 F1 back from a buddy in a trade. It has the Holland ART reticle in it and other than being too big for my overall taste, it is perfect for this rifle.

I also have a LMT MWS and love it, however it is a heavy beast. The LRP is just better handling and even with the bigger scope on it it feels very good in the hands and on the range.

I have pre ordered a couple NF 2.5-10x42 scopes and may consider putting one of those on it for a try, but I'm liking my 3.5-15 so far.

The JP rifle will ruin you for others in the same class!

NF 2.5-10. Seems like a very good match.

I've got a USO 1.8-10X with EREK/ERGO/illum. JNG reticle. That particular USO is a keeper, never had any issues with it.

Soft shooting, really accurate.

My only other .308 is an SR-25 EMC. I know, pics or it didn't happen...

I ordered mine with a Bushnell HDMR w/ H59 reticle based on recommendation of the guy at JP I've been working with. I should have the glass (which I will install on my Ruger Gunsite) next week. It seemed like a lot of optic for the price.

I ordered mine with the heat sink installed. For the price of the rifle, it's a small price to pay and I based my build on the JP SASS, which uses one. If you haven't spoken with someone at JP, I'd recommend calling them and asking that question. They were extremely helpful and I've found the couple of conversations I've had with them extremely informative.

jevan126 · Jun 12, 2013

Very Very nice, I have the same one except I have an 18" barrel and a UBR stock. And yes the heat sink is well worth the money as it will save on your barrel life not to mention keep it cooler for faster follow up shots. Again congrats and enjoy nothing like a JP rifle.

Heat sink is definitely work the little extra it cost.

I have two with and one without and I'm in the process of ordering a heatsink for the one without.
I think it helps with the shot to shot consistency on a gamming/precision rifle were quick follow up shots are required and precision counts.

Nice rifle, I ordered mine about the same time and patiently waiting... I ordered one in 260 with the heat sink. I figured if I were spending that much for a rifle might as well get all the bells and whistles especially if it helps save barrel life a little bit.

Hooch364 · Jun 13, 2013

Putting a build together too. I am partial to the 16 in barrel for aesthetics but what are some opinions of others? Thanks.

SeaBassHWD · Jun 13, 2013

Just sent off my deposit check to JP today for an LRP-07 in 6.5CM. Can't wait! I'm thinking of going with S&B or NF for the glass but I have a few months to think about it.
