Other than a different hand-guard, added muzzle device, and $200 added to the MSRP what else has changed? First I'd heard of them was a CDNN Email flier offering them for ~$1600 (no bargain, full MSRP although they throw in a sling and bipod ) about two weeks ago.
I've been wanting a RPR in .308 for some time and finally picked one up at yesterday's gun show for $1040+tax. Up until now, all the ones I'd seen in .308 were about $1300 + tax, but I've seen ones in .243 for $1000+tax and 6.5 CM for $1100+tax.
I jumped on it because I'd be removing the muzzle device any ways to mount my suppressor and the change in hand-guard wasn't worth an extra nickel to me.
From what I can tell the Gen2 will phase in and the originals disappear as existing stock is sold off. If the Gen2 stuff ain't important to you, be on the lookout for "closeouts" on the originals or pay a bit more for the Gen 2 models.
