I was notified this evening by the Chief Financial Officer that funds have been released for the purchase of one (1) PredatAR (16-inch 5.56). With the knowledge that Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve Recovery Day are around the corner, what's the current wait on 'em?

Hate the wait LOVE THE GUN

Ordered mine Turkey Day Weekend. Still waiting for the call.

have you called to check on that???

I ordered mine 11/15... was billed, the credited ... was told 6 weeks at the time I ordered... (my 7.62 came in 3 weeks )

Twice as long as previously placed OBR order's?

Might be working on some things for the ShotShow!!!!!

Order placed 11/30 for PredatAR in 7.62

I was told 6-8 weeks but they planned on beating the estimate.

Placed an order 6 wks ago (4-6 wk estimate at time of order), called today for an update and they stated another 2-4wks.

Ordered my PredAR lite on November 3rd, quoted 4-6 weeks and I'm still waiting. I was hoping I would have received it for Christmas and the week vacation I'm on now, but my test of patience continues. Called last week and was told it wan't ready and couldn't extract any further info. I just wish I could be given a timeframe of expected completion...this blind waiting is not fun.

Been waiting since Oct 20 on my 18" OBR and was just told 4 more weeks. I guess I can buy that scope and keep saving for the rifle.

I don't think anyone doubts it will be worth it. We all know it will. What a few others and myself are upset about is that we were told a time frame in which to expect our rifle with the chances of them beating that time frame. When it came round bout that time they extended it, then extended it again, and then again. A 3-4 week waiting period has turned into a 8+ week waiting period with no sign of hope (I understand SHOT sucks alot of their resources and understandably so). I also understand that things happen and there is no way for them to give an accurate time frame when relying on other people or manufacturers. My biggest thing is that I needed the rifle for Christmas, which I was told would happen. Not a big deal it didn't. However, I do really need it by Feb. 4th for its big debut and I am holding on to hope that this will happen, but after reading another thread of a 12 week waiting period I am beginning to loose hope.

Well stated!

Good points, all, and I understand that deadlines and business partners and large orders can cause delays. What is really starting to pick away at me is that the couple of times I've called to inquire as to 'where we are' in regards to estimate of completion, I'm not given any info....just that it should be 'soon'. I'm over 8 weeks now, was told 8 weeks on the outside and 'we'll probably beat that', and my Christmas present and the week I took off of work to get acquainted with my gun has come and gone. And still no communication. I don't want to be an a$$hole and call again, so I'm left to just wait more, not knowing wtf or when I'll receive the rife. I just hope I don't start reading posts about 'range day orders' being delivered and I'm still rifleless....or, even worse, that the OBRatAR (PredatAR with the OBR barrel) is now an option - as that is what I asked for when I ordered my gun and was told 'not an option'.

Positive side - I did order and receive a LaRue mount for my 'yet to be mounted' Primary Arms Micro and it really is a piece of art, just a beautiful piece of 'precision'. Dillo and GBOT stickers were also very cool.... I'm hoping that a little bit of the Dillo Dust is included with my Pred, as I'm dying to see what the big fuss is all about....and I am a sucker for the spices!!!

So I pass this 'patience-challenge' by looking at pictures, reading about all you guys who have the guns and love them so much, and what else I can spend my money on at LRT...and wait....


Be good,
