Get it with the threaded barrel and the muzzle brake. You can take it off and put the thread protector on for hunting. FYI, the reason I do that is because the brakes with holes all around will blow dust and dirt everywhere if you shoot from the prone position. If you're on the range, it can reduce recoil that will help in avoiding developing a flinch.
The HBAR-RC is heavy and when you top it with good optics and mounts, a full mag and maybe a bipod, you can easily be at 12lbs or more. I chose the Bergara B14 HMR which is very similar and with all the dressing, it is heavy. I would not want to carry it on my back all day long.
If you plan to shoot it out of a blind or off a bench, then yes, it's a great choice. If you plan to carry it on your shoulder then no, go with a Select and put a B&C stock on it. They all shoot sub moa so the only real gain you get with the H-Bar is a barrel that you can shoot longer between cool downs. Yes they are free floated but I'm finding that it's not a huge advantage and that a Select in a great stock with a tension point will shoot just as well.
