I'll be doing long term testing on the DRD Tactical CDR-15-556 and M762, and a long range all-day testing of their Kivaari .338 Lapua this weekend. This weekend's testing will be on the 2500yd range at Legion OTG in Blakely GA. 350-500 rounds of Lapua-brand .338 Lapua ammo in a day!  That's a big ol' chunk o' change down range!  

I'll be switching optics around on the 556; a Burris MTAC 1-4x24mm and a NF 2.5-10x32mm. Eventually, I'll probably top it with a NF 2.5-10x24mm I've had my eye on. I'll be using a GDI P-ROM L-Model mount on this one.

The M762 will have a NF ATACR 4-16x42mm F1 in a NF Unimount.

The Kivaari .338 I'm shooting this weekend (a demo shoot for possible overseas customer) will be topped with an S&B PMII 5-25x56mm with the Horus H59 reticle. Soon I'll have one of these rifles of my own to do a long term test.......I'll be using a NF BEAST 5-25x56mm with H59 reticle and Mil i4F turrets. I'll also have the opportunity to run these 2 scopes head-to-head......looking forward to that!  The BEAST will be mounted in a NF Unimount.

350-500 rounds of Lap Mag in a day, huh?  

I already sent your barrel a goodbye gift  ;)

Lucky bastard...

My jealousy precedes me.

Seriously, have fun.  Please follow up.  We need a no bullshit review on these rifles, not that a sample size of one means much, but still nice to know (may have a definable pattern of issue[s] amongst the three different rigs).  They certainly are proud of them, I hope they perform up to their respective price tags.

I'll be doing a long term test of the CDR-15-556, M762 and .338 Kivaari.  The 556 and 762 models I already have, the Kivaari (not the one I'm shooting this weekend) will be coming soon.

That's one expensive range trip.

Just a taste.......this is video showing how little recoil the Kivaari .338 has. Target is at 300yds.

How does the Kavaari compare to the Noreen .338 AR?  

What's the street price on the Kavaari?

I have not shot the Noreen, so I can't compare.

Euro Optic has them advertised for $6900 with your choice of a backpack or hard case.

Rob do you plan on having anymore gatherings at Legion this year? I'd like to see this beast in person.

Holy shit, that sucker was barely moving.  Very nice.  Do you happen to know the weight of the .338?

The rifle by itself is 13.6lbs.

sagillman, the next Rendezvous is scheduled for November 13-15 at Legion OTG.
