For those who have handled/shot both, is the PP a bit more nose heavy? They list it as 3oz heavier, and with that heavy barrel I was wondering about the balance difference between them if scoped with something like a VXII 2-7. Does the flash hider of the CC help project the blast away from the shooter? I don't wear ear plugs when calling as my partners and I signal we've seen something by lip squeaking. Hard enough for an old guy to hear without plugs. Yes, they are a bit nose heavy, mine was topped with a 3.5-10. If you want better balance but don't want to go with a 16" tube, as they have a signifigant muzzle blast even w/o a flass supressor, consider having WOA build you an upper using their 18" spr barrel. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.whiteoakarmament.com/xcart/images/D/d-17567-02.jpg) or you could go sdm if you want a lighter 20" tube ![[Linked Image]](http://www.whiteoakarmament.com/xcart/images/D/5sdm%282%29.png)

Don't forget the RRA ATH Carbine. I have one and I love it. It comes with an 18" barrel which I think is a nice compromise between velocity and handling. Like all RRA rifles, it is extremely accurate. If weight is a consideration the ATH weighs 7 lbs. 12 oz., which is about 3/4 pound heavier than the Coyote Carbine. I was all set on that ATH because I really liked that 18" barrel until I found the weight of the rifle. Since I pack my rifle over miles of rough country that immediately knocked it out of consideration for my purposes.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I like it just fine, especially for a walking rig. I have zero issues with it.

for a calling rifle you want the SOFT Hogue forend and the Ace soft foam skeleton stock. That keeps it quiet on both ends and easy to manipulate in a tight stand. Match it to an eop,(for weak side arrivals it's easier to get on target with the optics higher) and an 18 inch bbl with the vortex flash hider. That directs the gas to the side and not down where it can blow crud all over a hunkered down caller..That's the Coyote rifle I designed for RR when I was editing PX, and its a near perfect calling rig. Good luck

+1 for the predator pursuit, strictly because of the 1:8
Definitely get the chrome bolt carrier group... It makes cleaning SO much easier.

Is a $1,000 shipped for a RR Predator Pursuit w/an Ace Skeleton stock
a fair price? I'm looking at buying my first AR and I don't want to make a bad decision.
Any advice would be great.

I think it's a decent price. I paid just under $1100 for mine, IIRC. Not counting the Ultra Bore Coat and Badger O. Gen 2 latch. It now sports a Leupy Mark 2 3-9x40 with Leupy flip ups and a Larue mount. I highly recommend the Larue, BTW. I've been really happy with the RRA PP. Even took a few critters via 70gr TSXs..... ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/055.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/100_0141.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/100_0143.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/FFAA9330-5F01-401A-AFDC-E8F909340D99-1767-000002AED766B7C9.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/C97EE5BC-9FD6-4A52-94B3-237F76BF4CCC-336-000002AEA685E925-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/081-1.jpg) [img] http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p32/2muchgun/078.jpg[/img]

I have the coyote and mine shoots as advertised. They guarantee .75
and I also like that it is lighter.
