Buy recommendations MK15 restricted vs nr?

Why do people dislike the restricted version so much? Only difference is barrel length really right? Also it hadn’t even come out why are they putting the NR above R

Cost and inconvenience.

You could take the NR version hunting or target shoot on own private property. You absolutely cannot do that with the R version.

You’re limited to a range where you hold a membership, which is severely deficient in pop cans or other fun stuff to blast away at. You also need to transport it differently and I believe cost is the same if not more over the NR.

I’d personally like to have both the NR and R if the R version’s barrel length was tempting enough. But I’d easily buy the NR first
