Seems to me to be tailor made for a very specific application, and in an AR-15 class rifle.
I have a couple questions, since I'm not familiar with some things,
PRS is what? Is it Precision Rifle Shooting?? (and what precisely is that??)
If it is long range shooting, why the focus on 20" barrels??
PRS is a league, Precision Rifle Series. They used to have a Gas Gun series, but that went away, they are trying to bring it back. Almost no-one shoots an AR in PRS, or NRL (National Rifle League which is a similar, but different format). AR15s are, for precision shooters, almost entirely used in Team matches for the Carbine Shooter. Most of those style matches are not PRS or NRL matches. Personally, I use my 16" 3Gun rifle with a 3-15 optic as the Carbine shooter, and I am usually near to top among the carbine shooters. Carbine shooters, in those matches, typically shoot the closer of 6 to 8 targets. Like in Team Safari and the Sniper Adventure Challenge, the carbine shooter shoots 4 targets and the bolt gun shooter shoots 8. Those targets can be from 200 to 1200 yards. Most times, the carbine shooter is shooting the 4 closest, so maybe 200 to 800 yards. At times, I will shoot the furthest target first so my bolt gunner can get a wind read and prepare while I shoot the closest three.
20" is a bit short for bolt guns and a bit long for gas guns.
It is really not "tailor made" for PRS in any way that I can see. It will, at best, be an outlier make it work option, if any.
PRS is typically 2 to 10 targets on a stage. You get to see the stage, range the targets, make a plan prior to the start. Then you have 2 minutes to hit the targets. Stages vary. In some, you have to hit a target to move on, in others targets can be skipped. Points can vary as well, but are typically 1 point per hit.
Competition Dynamics hike, spot and shoot matches require the competitors to shoot blind stages where they have 4 to 6 minutes to find, range, and engages 4 to 8 targets. 1 point per hit, carbine unlimited rounds, bolt gun 1 round per target only. They can have pistol and assault stages as well.
NRL is 4 targets, also a hike and spot, blind stages. They can be 1 position, 2 targets and 2 positions or 1 target and 4 positions. 1st round hit is 2 points, 2nd round hit is 1 point, then move on.
