RTI Prophet Custom / Aftermarket upgrades?? Show us your supped-up RTI Prophet?

[Riaandw79]

Have the RTI Prophet arriving in the next few days. Cannot seem to find much info on custom-fit parts like grips, Picatinny extenders, regulator and spring/hammer tuning parts etc?

Does anyone know which parts fit well?

 

[Riaandw79]

Also, any "first things to do" advice is appreciated. I know there's been a few complaints on QC here and there but those seem like minor issues maybe a quick clean and once-over check should solve.

Just a nice moderator and buttplate.

The BugBuster 3-12 x 32 is a GREAT scope, for the money, and completely perfect for that gun. Get some offset mounts so you can get a cheek weld behind the magazines. Obviously, douche the barrel. A bag rider, maybe some Daystate baffles, ask @mikevv

The grips that fit the RTI, are the same as the AR15 powder fire gun.

Don't get the ones with the "tail" on them. You'll just have to cut it off. Also, on some brands, you may have to do a little "fitting".

Many go to a lesser angle grip, all the way to 0 degree. There are a lot to choose from that are about 15 degree.

I've got three at 0 degree and two (Daystate uses the AK47 style) at 15 degree. Makes a big difference in your wrist angle.

Optics Planet and Midway are good places to see what's out there. Most anyplace that sells the powder fire guns will have grips. Be sure to look for the angle or the term, "anatomical".

P.s. - You really...don't NEED...to do anything, but fill with air, a sighting system and pellets. Suppressors, grips, various sighting systems, extra feet, changing colors, etc., are all extras that aren't needed, but many like to add to their guns.

He asked so I told him, simple.

Not a fan of putting stuff on my Prophet for the sake of doing it. I put an buttpad on mine because the LOP isn't quite long enough. I have a spare magazine from Orion because the factory mags are a bit pricy. 

I put on a bag rider I made. I don't like resting the bottle on my shooting sticks and I adjusted the trigger to my liking. 

I've done nothing to change the performance of the gun. That's the beauty of this over others. Take it out of the box and shoot it. It's really hard to improve on perfection.

I added a cheap pic rail extension, zero angle grip, and a pacmayer rubber butt pad because I wanted something grippy, without increasing length of pull. The carbon fiber wrap is a trial, not sure I like it. Enjoy your new rifle!

I agree RTI guns are built to shoot, You don't here any thing about leaks O rings out and gun does not shoot straight , If you want to deal with all that stuff and a LOT of extra fluff , There is another brand you can buy...

Awesome. Got it for the accuracy and simplicity, it's a good-looking rifle tho. Some custom grips Check riser and rail extender is what I'll need and a bag rider. That UTG scope actually looks quite suitable for testing. The bark is a common concern it seems, but that I'll play with.

Orions magazines seem good.

Yup, no intention on getting that other brand . Wouldn't mind a DS Delta wolf though.

3 Mike's with Prophets or is it an airgun thing?

 

[Scotty1]

Yes indeed, it’s a thing. You need to call yourself Mike from here forward, Mike. 

 

[Blackpaw]

Very relevant thread for me, my Prophet Performance Compact was shipped on Tuesday and supposed to be here Thursday, but Spanish customs delayed it. Now UPS says it will be here Monday.

I can’t say I am a fan of the carbon fiber look, but that is me. I thought in the future maybe a minimalist coating / dip might be cool. First I will get to know the gun and setup then worry about decorations.

 

[L.Leon]

Like the way @scotty1, has his rig set up... I like my bipod more forward than what's offered stock and the mag seems like it would interfere with some cheek welds but otherwise the Prophets look so solid. Am following this one closely as I believe RTI will further evolve this platform.

 

[Scotty1]

Blackpaw, I can’t disagree with you on the carbon wrap, can you say cheesy? This poor gun had a rough life before I got it, so the shroud was pretty beat-up. I’m gonna re-wrap in matte black. 

 

[Riaandw79]

Wonder if the Leshiy 2 gips wound fit. I'll test when I take delivery and update.

[Blackpaw]

okay here is my bling up idea for the prophet and overall I consider it minimalist, having UA do a dip. I would want only the buttstock plating and the barrel shroud done.

I would most likely lean towards maybe the black or white smileys . I am not unpatriotic I just think it is a bit unpractical for a hunting stalking gun.

 

[Riaandw79]

This guys work is stunning - https://www.facebook.com/Customgripsetsbywarren/

Would not go too colorful... perhaps gray stained hardwood. Perhaps a custom cheek riser too. 

 

[igolfat8]

I’ve got the 3D printed cheek risers on both my PPs. That’s the only accessory that I think is needed beside an optic.

 

[Blackpaw]

@igolfat8 which cheek piece did you get?

 

[Joedirt199]

I thought about a kryptek dip on the side plates and shroud. Used a Carm single shot tray and it worked well. His mags are a little taller that the stock ones and mess with my cheek weld. Really like the new round version mags and seem well made.

hook/monopod. Slides down for easy hammer spring access too.
