Wife not home so guns go in the kitchen.

12.5" MRA Renegade Mk2 in 223 wylde with furniture upgrades, a romeo 5x and hm3x, and my brand new 24" Bergara B14 HMR in 308 with a Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30x56.

Great to hear! I’m hoping to get a maverick in 308 and a renegade, along with some B14s; one in .308 and one in .22lr for training.

They both seem like awesome platforms

I've always wanted to try a maverick. That platform in 308 would be so fun (and expensive).

But yeah no complaints on the renegade that's for sure - I guess if I had to, taking the buffer tube off to clean it is a bit annoying.

I wonder why MRA felt obliged to attach the buffer tube to the upper? They negated the main advantage of a split receiver. Having said that, it stays surprisingly clean for a few hundred rounds. I cleaned it thoroughly for the first time the other day and it wasn't as much effort as a 10/22.

Increased durability would be one big reason. I suspect further distancing their design from the AR for FRT classification reasons would be notable as well. Could also argue that its a more accurate setup, the optic, barrel and buttstock all being solid to one another.
