Model 6 (Super Varminter) vs. Predator Pursuit.
Which would you choose between the two? Advantages and disadvantages of each?
Trigger differences?
Barrel differences?
edit: What is the difference between the NATO chambering and the Wylde?
another edit: for me the barrel length may be the deciding factor. I prefer the less heavy 20' vs the 24" on the Stag.
The Stag sure looks like it gives the Predator Pursuit some competition. The latest Guns & Ammo has a write-up on the Stag that appears to be favorable.
Thanks for any feedback.

Impossible to know. I got an Olympic Arms Targer-Match and it shoots AWESOME.
1.35 inch groups at 200 yards with reman Ultramax ammo.
I would go RRA on reputation, but that is all.

Both make a decent AR, but I think that RRA is more setup towards a varminting model. Most people that end up building their AR's for varminting use the RRA trigger. I think if it were me I would use a Stag lower with a RRA trigger, Then add a varmint upper from Stag or RRA. Esox357

Both my AR's were built from Stag parts except the varment rifle has an OLY upper on it 243WSSM 24" heavy barrel. The lighter brush gun is in 458 Socom but it is all Stag except the 458 Barrel and I think the BCG is colt.

I went with the Stag Super Varmiter because I shoot southpaw and they make it both ways. Made my decision a lot easier!

I have RRA and FIL has Stag lefty. He was supposed to have a NM trigger but I can honestly say that trigger sucks. The RRA NM trigger is the cats meow.

Thanks for any feedback.
Most of the gun magazines today, unfortunately, are only good for pictures and basic specs of the guns that are written about. If you look back at most of the issues, how many of the articles are glowing reports? How many negatives are written about?
There have been a few writers for some of them that each month write about "The best designed gun ever!" until next month, and then its a new "Best designed gun ever!"
If you go back a year or two as well from some of the publications, you'll begin to notice the same topics being written about again and again.
Asking questions and looking for user reviews are your best bet, as you are doing. I honestly don't waste my money on magazines any more like when I was a kid, as the my waders don't fit anymore for the deep BS.

When you read write-ups in the gun rags about equipeant tests, pay as much attention to what they don't say as to what they do.
