I am the "crowd"
Just how much extra can you gain with a trigger and float tube on a chrome lined 1.5 MOA barrel anyway? At least the Colt is gassed right, has a good extractor and spring and will run out of the box. The 1.5 MOA accuracy is good enough for a new shooter and will get them off the bench and into shooting offhand or other field positions.
Lots of folks post pictures of 3 shots around a half inch from the bench and think that's all they need. Get em away from the bench and they can't hold minute of barn. Let someone run a thousand rounds learning what a carbean is for and then let them decide what they need vs what they want.
Granted, I like a longer tube to place my hand out further and a good trigger helps hitting plates at 600 yards but I haven't forgot how to run a stock carbean. If high power is what you want then get a gun more suitable for that, RR makes a great starter gun but trying to fill both roles with one gun is a compromise on either end.
