my dealer got delivery confirmation today, I should have my LRP-07 in .260 next Tuesday. Damn, that was a looooong 12 (actually 14) weeks. I am super jacked about this rig...I have always been a bolt action rifle guy, and I'll always love those, but after reading about the challenges and differences in marksmanship skills driving a gas gun, I started to think it might be fun to try it out. As such, after reading about JP rifles for a long time, I don't think I'm going to have to change my skillset that much; they seem to drive fairly easily from what others continue to say, and from the two I have shot.
I have handled a few JP's, OP. I have a few AR's in my safe, but the JP's are just in a class all by themselves. Obviously, GAP is in that class too, but when you start comparing the GAP-10's, you notice the weight difference and how much smoother that recoil impulse is with the JP's LMOS. I wonder if GAP has ever considered using the LMOS with any of their builds?
To answer your inquiry, OP, I don't know if there is anything wrong with the LRP-07's? I'll definitely be happy to keep everyone posted, good, bad, or ugly.
mdmorrow - a friend and I were just out shooting his DPMS LR-308, 18"bbl, PRS stock, Bushnell DMR on top. I don't have weights, but the palpable difference between the weight of the DPMS vs the JP seemed enormous, and the JP had identical everything (PRS stock and a Bushy XRS on top, and 4" more barrel). I know GAP usually uses POF receivers, which are rather beefy as well. If you're interested in a lighter rifle, you're definitely on the right track.
