    Rifle for roe hunting in GE

    Lyman makes both the GPR and GPhunter. I believe that these are the same rifle but different twist. The GPR 1 in 60" and the hunter version is 1 in 32" twist. Midsouth shooters supply also shows replacement barrels for either rifle. I do not know if they will interchange but would almost bet...
