I decided to go rra predator pursuit over stag model 6. Now I can't decide if I should go 16" or 20 ". I don't think the extra lb on the 20 should be a issue (I'm used to humping a 240 bravo). What is your input?
 
I had a 20" RRA P.P. and really liked it and it was not that heavy. I would go with the 20" just to get the end of the barrel 4" farther away from your ears.
 
I had a 20 inch PP. Great rifle, but a little long for me personally. If I were to get another one I would look at the 16 inch barrel. Like you said there won't be much weight difference between the 16 and 20 inch barrels, but I prefer shorter lengths just for the compact factor..

I would prefer an 18" myself but they don't make an 18" PP, so I went with the 20". It's a real shooter! I carry a Rem VTR with an 18" barrel in the brushy areas, it doesn't get hung up in the brush as much. Open area with 300yd shots I take the 20" RRA PP along.
 
16" is my go to on AR-15's.


As for the 20" is easier on the ears comments, NEVER fire a rifle without EAR PRO! With the new electronic muffs on the market there is no excuse for not using it! The excuse of a longer barrel is easier on the ears is false, Every shot without ear pro can damage your hearing Even 22lr!

I think people get bored with a rifle that shoots too well. I know the "trouble makers" in my safe get shot more that the tack-drivers. Gotta keep tuning them till they shoot well you know. No reason to shoot them anymore once they shoot well lol.

Most of my normal hunting is in pretty dense foliage areas where a 150 yard shot would be the exception rather than the norm..For me a 16" barrel carbine is much more maneuverable than a 20"...The sound factor in a non-point since I almost always have electronic hearing protection on...I have enough hearing loss as it is...

When I was on the 3-Gun and Action Competition circuit, a 20" was just excessive barrel to swing, as most shots were fairly close range (less than 150 yards) with an occasional 200+yd (rare) thrown in to separate the men from the boys...When you are running between barrels and shooting pop up or hidden targets as you advance, a longer barrel is a definite disadvantage...
