So far I have not see RAR in these scenes. (I take the same view when it comes to scope and ammo valuations)

Someone said RAR is a different rifle to 10/22. Of course it is. But it is still made by the same company, using more or less the same technology and same work force, so I would not expect drastically different outcome.

Club shooters would be a very small minority compared to hunters though wouldn't they? So a smaller sample size. And the impression I have (which may well be wrong!) is that many of them would be traditionalists who will stick with the proven option they've always used instead of trying something new to find out how it goes.

In response to your second point, I would suggest that a completely different design of rifle could well produce a drastically different outcome even when made by the same company.
