Page 4 is mine
So I have a wild hair and might want to throw this on my OBR: 
I assume a standard AR-15 size grip is what fits the OBR? I am not sure the horned version of the grip will fit, however they do make a version without the horn. They also make a black laquered version, but I think I would like the wood better. |

My 16" OBR arrived today.
One quick detail: the rear takedown pin detent spring is captured by a small screw, so mounting a MIAD is no problem and requires no modifications. Nice! Here's the OBR with a Vltor Emod stock, Nightforce 2.5-10x32 mil/mil zero stop in SPR-S mount, MIAD grip, and TangoDown receiver extension sling mount. Cheekweld in this configuration is acceptable but not ideal. I'll shoot it and see how it goes. Just in case, there's room above the rear BUIS for the scope to get down even lower. 
And here's the unholy triumvirate of .308s that currently lives in my safe (sorry about the poor pic). The OBR appears larger because it is in the foreground, but in reality all three rifles are roughly the same size.  |

When handling these rifles at SHOT, I was amazed at how smooth the action was. It felt like the action was rolling on ball bearings. I had just fondled the LMT MRP 308 rifle, and it was no where near as refined.

Just wondering... how much space is there between the backstrap and the rear of the lower receiver? Is there a need for the MIAD Grip Wedge? |

It's a 3.5-15x56 and it's in an OBR mount. The OBR mount is 1.535" above the rail.

That CTR with Cheek Riser, works perfect with the OBR Scope Mount!
808 what flash hider/muzzle brake is that on the end of your middle rifle? |

There is a noticeable space between the MIAD and the receiver. You could fit a MIAD wedge in there, but I've found the wedge to be a "custom-fit-required" component and the space doesn't bother me enough for me to do anything about it. |

You may only be able to get that rail as a part of the REPR itself...... Just like you can only get the OBR rail with a complete OBR.  (And not to mention that it will only work with an OBR upper) |

So was the Nightforce you put on the OBR an extra or specifically selected? I am really thinking of putting one, but a 5.5-22X56 on mine. |

I don't have the Leupold I have been borrowing to ring it out with anymore. |

I have a 5.5-22x56 with the npr1 and zero stop. I LOVE that scope, I have used it on my POF-308, keep in mind the weight of that optic, it weighs around 2 lbs or so, its a big scope and is pretty heavy. Just bear that in mind while making your selection. For my OBR I am going to be looking at something variable power but only up to 14X. I think that is enough for this rifle. Any ways, good luck on figuring it out what your going to get. CJG |

I am very partial to the scope itself. Glass is great, eye relief is good, exit pupil allows for a generous eye box. Illum is daylight visible and reticle is very useful. The 1x/4x flip lever is genius. The whole thing is very compact, albeit fairly heavy - but this is OK given its capabilities. I am not all that partial to the exterior scope adjustments (although no problems so far) or to the ARMS mounts. I can already tell I'm going to have an issue with them if I dismount the scope too often. If Mark doesn't make a replacement mount, I'm seriously considering at least an ARMS Gen II lever upgrade.

The NF on my OBR was a scope I already had, but I had purchased it with the intention of using it on a 16" or 18" .308 semi. I have a 3.5-15x50 F1, but that scope seems like it would overwhelm my 16" OBR with its size and weight. The 2.5-10x32 should get me out to 600 yards; if I end up shooting past that more often than not, I'll swap out the scope. Besides, I typically shoot steel and look for practical accuracy, not benchrest-style bugholes. |

Even though I cheated and didn't wait my turn, I guess I'll post a couple pics.
I didn't notice until now that you can't see the test target. It reads ".840" Now, just a few more notches up on the thermometer, and I'll see if I can better that. |

Did the BET with the MGL in it come with that? Or is that one you are saving that you received many years ago?

No, I've had it for a couple of years. It came with the purple Christmas dillo.
I have a question about the sf brake. How loud is it? I probably would have ordered the A2 fh. |
