One interesting note... when I purchased my Sport I, I could have purchased the OR for about the same price. I chose the Sport because of the 1:8 twist, 5R rfling (marketing)...
Today, a Sport rifle sells for $525, yet the OR sells for $789 (grabagun used for prices)... right where it was many years ago.

I would guess a lot has to do with economy of scale that the Sport II configuration brings to the table. When you produce so many more units of a particular configuration you can squeeze every penny out of it.
The OR for whatever reason simply has not sold enough to generate that type of scale.
