I have been working on my setup all summer with both the predator and RR. I believe im going to start the season with the RR. I find my shoes grab better with it and it is easier to work around the tree with side pressure. However, i perfer the packabilty and how well the predator cams over.

I found myself liking each for the same reasons you mentioned. I really liked the width of the RR, but didn't like how it cams compared to the Predator. I settled and went with the TL mission.

I wouldn’t say you settled I think the mission is the better platform myself.

I hear what all of you are saying. Mission! Lol maybe next year. I can't justify buying a third platform when i haven't even hunted with one yet.
Maybe after my first hunt though.....

Settled may have been the wrong word. Decided upon!
If I was told I had to use a predator or RR indefinitely, I'd have no issues with that at all. Seeing as how this game is a black hole for gear and I couldn't afford an assassin at $400, the mission looked like the ticket. I will be receiving mine tomorrow

It's only funny because my RR never saw an actual hunt before I sold it. There's nothing wrong with the RR either....just the way I roll through gear lol

i used a predator for a solid week and it is jam up but then i used a RR and hands down like it better once you understand that it cams over differently. have not seen the mission - who makes it

I chose the ridge runner over the predator because I had some flex while standing on the predator. I’m 270 lbs. the ridge runner is a lot beefier. I’m wondering if I would have the same issue with the mission
