I've been suggesting LAR Grizzly for some time to new members because I have had such a good experience with the company as well as the rifle I bought from them. Being as they seem to be somewhat unknown I thought I'd post a little to show what these rifles are made of.
My brother (AKA Burglecutt on the hide) just received his LAR precision operator rifle from Zac (AKA MildotZ on the hide). And today was the cherry-breaker for it. His rifle is very similar to mine; 20" 8 twist Wilson barrel threaded 5/8-24, the difference is he got the skeletonized lower and his sports the new SS5-20HD in a PEPR mount. Mine has the MKIV 4-14X50 on it.
Both guns are side charging, something that until I had one I thought was just another way to do it. Well after shooting with one for over a year now, I've decided I could never go back to the original. It just fits perfectly, not having to move from the shooting position to operate the bolt, it feels much more sturdy than the flimsy aluminum charging handle, and the knurled knob give's great purchase without being too bulky or in the way.
Here are some pics of my brothers gun:
with my can on it:
We started out by sighting his gun in, after that, we shot a few groups. I'll admit I was just in a hurry to double check my gun and make sure it still shot tight enough for me. Burglecutt spent a little more time, and while his initial groups showed great potential, they were quickly ruined by a couple of "flyers"
.
This is what my rushed group looked like, the one man out was because I changed positions
:
After shooting our "groups" we went looking for some further targets, first a rock at 275, then one at 300, 500, and finally 930. I was extremely happy with my first shot at the 930, a rock about the size of a gallon jug. 26.5MOA and I held two mils left for the wind, the shot couldn't have missed by more than an inch or two. We pummeled the shit out of the rock, with plenty of very close misses as well. The wind was probably between 1-7 MPH left to right all afternoon, but it kept changing speeds. We had an awesome time, and will be showing alot more about what these rifles can do.
