[QUOTE="njc89, post: 1049884, member: 35258"] I have the 1:8 20" RRA Predator Pursuit. Mine is very accurate with heavier 75 grain match bullets, and fairly good with the American Eagle 50 grain tipped varmint bullets. The 55 grain blaster ammo runs closer to 1.5-2" groups at 100 yds. I have 50 rounds of 65 grain Sierra boat tail handloads with various charges waiting for the weekend to test out. Two stage trigger isn't my preference, but it's still pretty good for an AR. I like this rifle a lot, but with the match barrel, it is a bit heavy. I PERSONALLY can't imagine going with the heavier bull barrel in a gun like this. The minimal gain in accuracy can't be worth lugging around the additional weight. If I needed the heavier, or longer barrel, I would opt for a bolt gun that would allow me more flexibility in cartridge length. Browning offers their X-Bolt in a 24" camo'd out 223 with a 24" 1:8 barrel. Same gun in a 22-250 has a 1:9 26" barrel. kinda pricey, but I can't help but want one [/QUOTE]
