    But to the topic, I think it is a matter of balance. If you have a lot of weight out front, the UBR really balances out a rifle. With a 16" Recon and 12" DD Lite, the UBR really balanced it out.

    My next build, I was prob going with an A5/CTR and one of the NST/Rogue Hunter barrels.
    I've not yet had an opportunity to really wring it out. I've zeroed it and shot one match so far, but the match I shoot allows FA, so I've been spending more time with my RR 16 lately. I will say this, when I was doing my 50/300 baseline zero with Cor-Bon 55gr FMJ (for gun games), I shot several extra rounds at 50 just because they kept going into the same hole over and over. I wound up with an 8 round hole that was about .32 caliber.

    Next I switched to a 4" spot on steel at 300 and the first round hit center. The next three also tagged it and I quit because the spot was gone. Then I switched to the 5" threat flipper on a steel torso and tagged it several times in rapid succession. That was from prone rested on a bag.

    When the weather warms up I plan to test some true match grade ammo with heavier bullets. From what I've seen so far, I'm perfectly happy with the accuracy and I'm very glad I went with the lighter gun. I came real close to getting the 18" SPR with Switchblock, but I've always appreciated the versatility of the lighter guns.
