I just bought one about about a week ago. It's heavy, around 12 lbs with bipod and scope. I don't know about accuracy because after the first 8 rounds it failed to eject every round fired after. So I had to send the upper back to RRA yesterday. Maybe I was unlucky and got a bad one.

Isn't 26" for a 5.56 round a little much?

It's 308 not 5.56

opinions from anyone who has used one? quality? accuracy? reliability? I was pleased with everything on mine. I only sold it because I could not afford to feed it, and it became a safe queen. Quality was top notch. Accuracy was dead on as far back as I shot it (400yd max) - I don't hit the range all the time and was able to squeak out MOA. I'm sure a regular shooter could have done better. I had one feed failure in the first mag, lubed it, and never had a failure again. I had a bipod, scope, and Magpul PRS on mine and it tipped the scales at 16lb - not something you want to tote around! |

I like mine. Very accurate!!
Only issue I've had, and they claim they've fixed it, is the BHO rod has broken on me three times, with three different LAR-8's. Here's a couple of targets: 5 shot group 111 yards(100 meters), including cold, clean bore shot. Shot prone off bi-pod and rear bag: 
10 shot group 100 yards, including cold, clean bore shot. Shot prone off bi-pod and rear bag:

Bolt Hold Open Rod or I guess you can refer to it as a Bolt Stop, like RRA does.....

I love mine, but it is a tank to field. I sent my barrel off to Adco for a cut to 20", a reprofile, threading (to add a JP howitzer brake),
and fluting. It made an incredible difference in weight & handling. I haven't shot it since reassembly, hopefully it did not hurt the awesome accuracy. |

No, I just shaved about 3/8" off the forward edge of the comb and it allowed the charging handle to be pulled fully rearward with the comb raised. |
