The Crusader Arms Templar and the Maple Ridge Armory Renegade are two pretty different rifles. The Templar is a semi-automatic 5.56/.223 rifle, while the Renegade is a straight-pull bolt action rifle in the same caliber.

From what I've heard, the Templar is exceptionally reliable for an AR180 based rifle, but so is the Renegade (mostly because it's a bolt action and therefore has fewer moving parts)

If it were me (and money wasn't an issue), I would choose the Templar nine times out of ten just because it's semi-automatic, and I like my semi-autos ;)
