I bought one from Randy's. Purpose was purely hunting. AR's have fallen out of favor with me for hunting in the deep MN woods. I only need one shot. Convenience and light weight is another factor. I did not buy this as a bench gun. I have never shot a deer yet off a bench.
Mine did not come with a brake. I purchased one but did not like the noise, plus the recoil mitigation was not much. A definite negative when hunting when hearing protection is usually not used.
Although, the RAR is excessively light. I am adding 2 pounds to it, just to see if I can sense any reduction. It would still weigh less than my AR.
