Had to give props where they are deserved. I have ventured to Snipershide and GOD FORBID anyone say they like LaRue for the swag....people jump on them and bitch that its figured into the price...blah blah blah.

SOOOOOOO, for any who may troll looking to drop the same BS (ill advised with the community here!)

First off:  I have known for some time that my dealer has had an 18" 7.62 OBR on order and hadn't received it yet. I have 2 .308 ARs that shoot just a hair over 1/2" at 100 yards with Federal match ammo, so I would back away everytime the OBR bug bit me since I had no guarantee that an OBR would shoot better than either of those rifles. (No flame please). Well, a friend called wanting to buy one and made a generous offer, so the OBR bug nibbled a little, then I got a fat check into my office and the OBR bug took a chunk out of me...injecting me with OBR venom! I called my dealer on Monday and proclaimed his incoming OBR to be mine, and he abliged.
I emailed my dealer back and forth several times into Tuesday night (after getting input from guys at LaRue real quick during lunch Tuesday) about switching the stock and grip to match my 556 OBR (UDE CTR/RISR and UDE grip) or staying all black and going with a PRS. Ultimately I wanted the brother guns to match each other. Wednesday my dealer calls LaRue to change the stock/grip only to find out they have boxed the rifle up to ship it out (thought I would have a couple months AT LEAST)......WELL....they UNBOXED my rifle, swapped the parts out, reboxed it, and still were able to get it out the door Wednesday and I will get to pick it up tonight after work.

Second:  I saw that a price increase was coming and knew I needed a few parts for the new OBR.....order placed....hour went by, email arrives with tracking number. I will have all my parts on monday!

Third:    Told a buddy last NIGHT (via phone) that he should order whatever he is wanting prior to a price increase, so he hits the website and orders a T1 combo. It shipped THIS morning and will be here monday or tuesday.

Lastly:   a month or two ago I asked on this forum if anyone had a spare UDE handstop for an OBR/PredatAR to put on my 556 OBR for 3-gun. I had a set already, but we had to shoot left handed at the previous match which made me want to make my rifle symmetrical for those situations in the future. YEYEY was kind enough to send me one, not wanting  payment btw, and had it to me in a hurry! Unfortunatley it was not one with the hole drilled or the U shaped platic piece for the OBR handguard....it did work perfect for the same purpose on my SBR that had 2 LaRue handstops tho. I called LaRue wanting to order just the insert and was going to drill it myself to make it work....that was unacceptable to the person over the phone, so they sent me a UDE handstop and insert meant for my OBR at no charge....WITH a bottle of dillo dust!




Other than mentioning the Dillo Dust in the last one there....I didnt mention swag once........it was ALL SERVICE!!!!      Massive THANK YOU  to the guys at LaRue (and to YEYEY again).


I have two of your rifles, several of your mounts, a couple harris bipods with your goodies.......and I have a feeling plenty more in the future!

Always was (at least that I know of) and likely will continue.

Yes. This is why I buy LaRue and not something else...
There are other quality products to choose from of course, but very few quality people/companies to choose from.

The "customer" experience is unequaled in my experience. This is something that has tremendous value in my mind and my wallet, so "Hats off to the LT gang."
All fine people to work with and eager to do things right.

Placed an order today at 2pm. 4pm there is a UPS tracking number in my email inbox. 6:45pm it's in UPS's hands. It will be here Wednesday!!!

Who does that?



Got to pick up my 18" 762 OBR tonight. Preliminary mount up for my scope, bipod,....then snapped a quick cell phone pic so my friends could hate me. Test target shows something like .774".
My 5.56 OBR had a test target of .987" and I was able to shrink that to .294" with Black Hills 69gr SMK ammo. The .774" group looks like a shotgun blast, you know, at 1/4" away.

I figure from .987" to .294" was a reduction of 71%......a 70% reduction of a .774" group would be .2322"  CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Goal is to kill a deer between 500 yards and 1/2 mile this year. Now for some nicer binoculars to spot the damned deer!
