Congrats fellas! Guess I'll be the last man standing. Hopefully the next batch will roll out soon and I can join in on the festivities. On a side note, I did pick up a 10/22 tactical today. That'll keep me occupied for a little while w/o costing me an arm and s leg!

I wish I was gonna have fun using it this weekend. Prolly wind up being 2 weeks. I work nights this weekend, and I leave Thursday for a 3G match in TX . Will have to pirate the scope off my game gun to get the tOBR rolling.
I do plan to post some pics and a report soon as I get her to the range. monk |

Those examples pose an interesting delima for folks wondering what their respective test targets will look like when they finally arrive. 1. Would I like to have a chance for the I out shot the shootist Dillo? or 2. Would I like the bragging rights that come along with the factory .172? I think the answer is Yes. |

Just got the email from Dan , The Man !
Order #14713x, Ordered 8-30-2013, 18" 762 tOBR...and I was hoping to have it by Christmas ! Hmmm... looking at those groups above, Mark must be getting to be a tightwad with those IOTLTS dillos. Still stunned. I have my scope and mount waiting for it since February. I am thinking of getting some of those orange grip panels and shooting pumpkins when it cools off a bit ! |

Mark thanks so much, I consider it an honor to make the "best of"" pic. I luckily received the .210...... already saved the pic as my screensaver. |

After seeing the results of y'alls handloads ... nope, can't go there, wouldn't be fair for us to shoot super-duper custom loads that guys can't get at Cabela's.

I bet ML never thought he'd also cause an uptick in the reloading business. I wasn't planning on getting into it myself until the deluge of threads offering proof it's worth it (unbelievably too, in my opinion, given how precise the factory folks already are) |

I also have to admit thinking how sweet it would be for LT to start up their own custom ammo division and sell ammo specifically rolled for their rifles! |

Sorry for my poor word choice there I actually wasn't referring the ammo guys, but rather, I was referring to your test shooters. They're typically pretty dad-gum precise in what they do - hand loading seems to be the only way I could out-shoot any of them |

I am not, but I have a "guy"...I keep him supplied with Fed. GMM once fired brass so I may get RF Missile to send me his recipe. I'm issued a KMW M-1 Sentinel (Terry Cross rifle) that I did squeeze out a .293" couple weeks ago (with Federal 165gr Tactical Bonded) so hopefully I can at least get close to that .210 with the same mechanics I use on the bolt gun. |

I'll bet I've checked the UPS tracking site 500 times today. I understand that Greensboro is a regional "hub", but why they don't run a truck from Atlanta, Ga to Columbia, SC blows my mind. Probably wouldn't affect delivery date, but damn that rifle has racked up a ton of miles. Not to mention how many handlers and conveyors at two unnecessary distribution centers. Damn, I thought checking this site a few times a day was bad??. Package trackers are straight up crack. delivery slated for tomorrow!

UPS delivered to my local dealer this morning. I picked it up a couple hours later. 18" OBR 7.62. Order 98xxx, 1/17/2013. Beautiful, beautiful rifle. Simply outstanding build quality. Proof target was 0.312" Can't wait to shoot it. Could not be happier! |

1. Congratulations Roentgun!
2. RF Missile can you please send me the recipe your using for your tOBR? I want to have my bullet chef cook me up some of what your using. I will be sending first shots out Wednesday only thing is I'll be using a Bushy Tac Elite 1-8.5. The dot may be a little to big to get sub MOA, but I'll be swinging the bat to try. Gonna try Fed 168 GMM and Fed Tac Bonded 165 |
