I've got both.
A Maverick Compact and and an RTI Prophet Performance, both in .22 .
Just as shooters, I like the Maverick better, but that's a personal thing more than a, "tuner" thing. My range is shorter than most, so "tuning" is not a big deal to me.
I like the Maverick better at the shoulder, it's also quieter without the addition of an add-on silencer. My Prophet is much louder than the Maverick, even though the Prophet was "tuned" by the seller to shoot the 18.1 gr pellets at a slightly lower pressure than the Maverick. Right now, the Prophet has an additional silencer, the Maverick, does not.
I see the shorter Maverick as a little more what I like in a rifle (shorter, easier to maneuver in tight areas), as the Prophet is more of a long range gun. That said, I must say that I shoot...offhand. No bipods or benches used here. I've got a red dot (Meprolight 21, delta dot) on the Maverick, a scope on the Prophet. One thing that I don't...like about the Prophet is the panels on the side of the gun. They have hard, somewhat sharp corners on them and easily try to dig into the back of your thumb. One guy, in this site, made a 3D cover for that area for his gun, another guy removed the offending plate and filed the sharp edges away, which is what I may do.
The triggers are both adjustable in both. Both very nice.
** Something that may help you, no matter which gun that you buy, there are more vertical grips available to make your hand position MUCH more comfortable. I have a "vertical" (0 angle from the barrel centerline), and a 15° grip on my Prophet. Both are much more comfortable than the original AR-15 style grips that come on both guns. Like this one -
