Got my RFB
12/3/2011 12:14:55 PM
I picked it up yesterday from my FFL, found it online and paid $1450 shipped, it just came off the assembly line so it's the newest version. I'm probably going to put a PA micro on it with the LT low mount. I may have to borrow some optics off another rifle and shoot it tomorrow.

Congrats.
Miss mine and will replace it when funds permit.

Congrats! That's not a bad price either.
Keep us posted on what ammo it likes. I still need to make up a load for mine.

Gunbroker?
Really supply is still very low so it's just hit or miss when they are available. Ask your local FFL's they may have a line on one or can at least ask their distributors to keep an eye out.

Make sure and get the Kydex cheek rest, that parkerizing is pretty grabby when it comes to facial hair...
Also, make sure you don't got TOO low on optic mounts, the rail is AR-height and the cheek weld area is wider than an AR stock.

I borrowed the ML3 in a LaRue LT150 mount off my 9 y/o's OBR Lite and it was a little higher than I liked.
The rail looked about a 1/2" higher over bore than his OBR so I want to go low as comfortably possible.

I have a plain GG&G riser enroute for mine to raise the optics up more and keep clear of the charging handle. Will post a picture when it shows up.

The LT150 is a lower 1/3rd cowitness mount, so it would be higher than a standard mount, which might explain the difference.
The height-over-bore doesn't mean much as far as ergos, but the height over cheekweld does, which did you check?
Just make sure that if you order a super-low mount that you use a mount with available spacers to bring it back up.
Do you plan on getting the cheekrest? It's about 0.120" thick and might help out a bit too.

I highly recommend the over-sized charging handle.

LOL
This Tactical Operating Handling is approximately 100% longer, approximately 20% wider, and has a stronger, wider scallop cutout compared to the original charging handle. The combination of these allow for easier and smoother operation of the carrier channel during a high stress situation... you know, for when the deers start shooting back...

Never heard of them.
