I shot the OBR in 7.62 today at the Range Day and was blown away.  A have a couple of questions before I buy one.

Can you run an ambi safety and an ambi mag release (norgon or KAC)?

This question may have been discussed in detail, but what are the differences in the 16" and 18" as far as weight, reliability, accuracy?  Which do you prefer?

Thanks!

I was also amazed by the 7.62 OBR and it's definitely going on the short wish list.

I shot one today and had to bring one home.  One unlucky gun in the safe is gonna lose a scope, because the new horse in the stable is gettin' some exercise tomorrow!

I have my sights set on the 12" OBR lite. That was fun to shoot.

I will not buy an OBR.

Yes And Yes on Norgon and Ambi safety

I have the 16" and love it, I see no real need for anything bigger.  Especially when the first 16's were making hits at 600-800 yrds and more with no problem.  Do a search on this subject.  You will find all the info you need.

indeed!  Mine went on the SUPER short list...nevermind, it rode home in the backseat!  
only reason why it didn't ride in the front seat is even though the wife shot it, don't think she would have appreciated taking 2nd fiddle position to the OBR!
