    JP owners - Feedback?

    I have a couple questions for folks who own JP rifles, and would like some general feedback. How much did they weigh? How much have you shot through them, and what kind of ammo did you generally shoot through them? If you were buying another, are there things you would change based on your previous experience with a JP rifle (like getting just an upper, or getting the whole rifle if you got just the upper, etc.)?

    I haven't weighed mine, but I have a CTR-02 with a PRS stock and 18" barrel. I shoot mostly Wichester 5.56 through it for 3 Gun which is 1-1.5" MOA. It's better with 68gr black hills and match grade ammo.

    I also have a LRP-07 in 308 with PRS stock and light profile barrel.

    They are both incredible rifles. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. If I get another, I might consider going with a little lighter stock on the .223.

    I'm trying to talk them into making a 6.8 or 300 Blackout, but they are pretty busy just keeping up with current orders.

    You really need to shoot one to see for yourself.

    i have been curious about the lrp-07. how is the recoil and weight of the rifle compared to other .308 rifles?

    thanks...

    I have a JP LRP-07 that i got when i was going to give 3 gun a try. Never did and as such have never really even shot the thing, just sits in the safe. Just got an LMT 308 MWS. I will say the fit and finish on both is excellent and i like them both. the JP is awesome, well worth the wait, I would love to shoot it but it's almost too pretty you know, and I may sell it so better not shoot it. The JP does feel lighter though. i will try and get a set of scales out and weigh both.

    I would say that the recoil impulse of the LRP-07 is similar to my Novekse 5.56 16" Recce with a Vortex flash hider.

    I will be getting a KAC SR 25 EMC, so then I will have a comparison for the recoil impulse of another 308.

    I am sure the JP will have less of a recoil impulse (Low Mass Operating System, Probably heavier, adjustable gas block, and JP BC break).

    My LRP-07 was sitting in my safe for while too and I thought, WTF? Get that thing out and SHOOT IT! I'm having so much fun with it, I've decided to get another .308!

    The JP LRP-07 recoil feels like a cross between a .223 and a 6.8SPC.

    in comparison with other 308 plaform: BM308, MK11, Fulton308, the JP clearly has much less recoil.

    I don't own. But have a put a decent amount of round through a JP rifle 5.56. 18" barrel, rifle gas system with an adjustable gas block, lightened BCG, light buffer and JP adjustable trigger. It is one sweet rifle. Very soft shooting and transitions very well. They take a good amount off the barrel under the handguard, so while the barrel looks heavy, it is not. I would not hesitate to buy one.

    to anyone who has experience with the lrp-07.. does the lack of a dust cover and forward assist raise any concern?

    thanks...

    Ok on a set of refrigerant scales the LRP-07 weighs in at 8lbs 14oz and the LMT MWS is at 10lbs 4oz. Both unloaded and bare as they came from the factory. hope that helps.

    You are asking about .223 guns mostly right?

    I have a JP upper that I use on a DPMS lower that had a G-match trigger in it, but now has a SDG3 trigger in it. I just buy uppers and build lowers, just easier and I get exactly what I want. If springing for a CTR-02 upper, I'd get a matching lower. With a standard upper I really don't care.

    The upper I have is 18inch with cooling fins, rifle gas and reciver extension, LMOS and JP bolt with adjustable gas and JP brake. It seems to really like 77gr Black Hills ammo. I use a TA11H or a Premier 3-15Mil-Dot, depending on what I want to do with it. I've shot it out to 425 yards. Somewhere about 2-3,000 rounds thru it.

    Dog will hunt.

    With the Premier on steel targets 350+ yards I was hitting the center round sub target on a IPSC sillhoutte with boring regularity. It shoots so smoothly with the gas system dialed in and the brake, I was able to call my own shots with ease.

    The old round Viking VTAC handguard can get hot- warm day, 60+ shots in under a 90 seconds is about the only time I noticed it with out gloves, but I have heard others mention it also. M4 barrel Extension, but not M4 ramps on the upper.

    It is just a silly, stupid easy way to shoot accurately.
