I have several posts on old threads here about the RAP. Again...everything you, (the OP), said but there are "fixes" to the feeding, stocks, etc.
Just putting epoxy puddy in the barrel channel and making sure its free-floating the barrel all the way to the lug made a huge difference in the mine's accuracy. (stock stiffening). I also had to add weight to the rear to make it balanced. This made an already heavy gun heavier so it's not used to walk through the woods and fields. Mine cycles 100% using various magazines. (switching OEM stocks then modifying). I also played with the action screw torque settings which helped accuracy AND feeding. Medium rings did the trick for my scope. (Vortex HD). Added a cheek rest for comfort and shoot it under 1" at 300 yds a majority of the time. Farthest at 500+ under 2". (my reloads).
Would I give it two thumbs up?? Nope! Too many things that have to be done to it out of the box PLUS a lot of rounds to finish out the barrel on mine. But if you are "handy" so to speak and without a lot of money, it can be a real tack driver in Grendel. Just out of the box, there are better options for not too much more money.
