The RGSR was never meant to be a bench gun and I find it to be only marginal when fired prone off a bipod. However, when I add a good shooting sling and start working positions it's a joy to shoot. Keep in mind that my plastic stock is back ordered from Ruger but I suspect this will still hold true since the ergonomics are supposed to be close to the same.
I concur with this. Except for the stock part. I have the original laminate still, so I cannot comment on that.
I'm also going to be putting a Kaw Valley linear compensator on mine this week. I don't anticipate much difference in anything but sound however.
