I've decided to start looking for a new 5.56 rifle to use in Run N Gun matches. Anywhere from 3-5 miles of running with interspersed multigun stages along the way with 4MOA targets out to 350-400 yds. Due to living in Maryland, I'm left with some unusual restrictions - to be legal, an AR-pattern rifle must either have a "heavy" barrel or have proprietary parts (bolt, gas system, etc) so as to not be interchangeable with a conventional AR. The PredatOBR has a heavy barrel, the LPR has the KAC gas system and E3 bolt. None of the matches take place in MD, but I'd rather not have to store the uppers off site, so my preference is to acquire something that is legal both in and out of state.
So, does anyone have any recommendations on which way to go? Or another direction entirely? I know both rifles are top of the line , so my metrics for comparison are more along the lines of reliability, accuracy, manufacturer support, ease of finding replacement parts, etc.
I will have a Vortex Razor HD 1-6 with JM1 reticle on top.
