In BC where am having success in the trees find the bullpub form factor useful. If sitting on a cut lot or plain then form factor less useful (and may be able to stabilize non-bull pub more easily). There have been posts about that accuracy is not sub MOA but need to consider that shooting in the field not the same a shooting from a concrete bench... hence in terms of functional accuracy the weight sitting between strong hand and shoulder and short OAL is likely to provide more accuracy than rifles that shoot sub MOA off the bench. Also don't need 1 MOA for a 6" circle at 100m. Tried a few different loads last week (mostly because only .308 had loaded up was for a ladder test in an other rifle...) and found that AOL on the short side worked well (2.75) and the gas system very tolerant.
That said, a $500 bolt action will do the same thing in a different way so its purely a matter of satisfaction and value to you. The catch is that this rifle at ~$2,400 is ridiculously priced when looking at materials and workmanship compared to other rifles at this price point (but then they are not non-restricted SA bullpups...). Being fully aware that ARs are restricted, the RFB is about $500 more than an Armalite T10 with match trigger, 20" stainless medium profile stainless match barrel, no plastic parts... Or a Sako bolt...
As an aside, the spacers in the handguard split when I removed them (screw stayed in sleeve, spacer split/separated), e-mailed Vault, reply next day, spacers in the mail the following day, 5 days later a followup call to ensure that I had received them. Exceeded expectations in warranty service so no worries in that respect.

Request to include mag type and loads if posting that found mags that work well or accurate load. Cheers. Will do same when 150 TSX load setup.
