I have one and it's sweet. Plan on getting an 18" barrel and hand guard in the future. Probably order a 16.1" 5.56 next. |

Hell, I sold my Multicam ACR for a 16" 5.56 PredatAR. I've yet to receive the tAR; I don't regret selling the ACR. YMMV. |

I'm missing the MK 6 on mine. Is it mounted on a LT111? Have you considered Aimpoint offset? Last Q's, where did you get that pack? MK6 sits in a LT111-34 and is very comfortable without any comb adjustment needed to me. I have wanted to play with an Aimpoint offset but will probably have to settle for a set Dueck Defense offset irons. The pack is a 3 day pack just like this one. Liked the looks of that pack so much I ordered one myself to nestle my tOBR into. I would however recommend getting it directly from Entrygear as the ones they sell on eBay don't have the lap belt included.

That's good to hear. I hope to see some 7.62 tOBR action here soon. I can't wait.
It's good to see some OBR movement though. Some of those guys were waiting for a while. |

I've watched the assembly/disassembly video, I guess I just find it a little shocking a rifle known for precision can have a barrel nut taken apart, hand tightened and then be able to pull of repeatable hits long range. I just assumed there had to be an ideal value. |
