Really can't get decide between these two fine rifles, anybody that has had their hands on either chime in and let me know what you think. FYI I would order the RA308 with a 20" barrel and better furniture. Purpose is mobile long distance between 100-800 yards, plus potentially 3-gun heavy metal. The RA definitely wins for 3-gun just due to weight, but that is not something I'm really taking into consideration. I want accuracy, quality, and durability.
