    Larue PredatOBR 6.5 Creed (Proof)

    I got tired of waiting for the Match bbl to replace the field bbl (although I know guys have been getting good results with the field bbls). I am going to glass it this weekend, and get it out to Sniper Country next week. It went together nicely (just needed a low-pro gas block because of the...

    And I need a Larue why??

    I meant: Bbl Length/profile Load (assume you mean .308) Rifle (AR-10, what kind? custom? Mega? GAP? etc) Rail? Shooting Bench? Bi-pods?

    And I need a Larue why??

    Can I ask setup? Always interested in gas guns that people are having good success with.

    And I need a Larue why??

    I think they are just saying that you showed 2 targets that have 2 different groups in different locations. It really doesn't matter, because you didn't state (that I saw) if there was a scope adjustment made to change the POI. Again, sounds like it is shooting good for you, all the other...

    POF 14.5" 308 at 850 yards ! Holy s**t!

    I am a SA guy when it comes to .308, you are right, they are much different. The biggest thing I have found is that different rifles like different things, and a lot of the time you can't put a lot of load on the hand guards or they will open up on you. If you are shooting off bi-pods this can...

    And I need a Larue why??

    +1 sure seems like a shooter to me. Obviously you have to push it out and see what it will do. But that is a good start for sure. Hey flyboy, have you figured out what MV and SD you are getting? I am getting 2470 with a SD of 7 (10 rounds) out of my 14.5" tOBR with 168 TAP and group is pretty...

    And I need a Larue why??

    For sure, the way they mount up is far superior to any others that I have seen (using bbl nut). MK1 was my favorite rail they have come out with. Bummer it was discontinued.

    And I need a Larue why??

    Not at 100 and not with slow fire and not with zero or consistent bi-pod load. LR is a game of controlling variables. If you don't think when you add pressure to the end of a lever (longer the hand guard the more leverage) when you load a bipod into a barricade, wrap a sling for a...

    Message from Geisselle Automatics

    Bob passed of a heart attack. I know because Barb told me last week. I was just talking to her about how sad it was. This is really unbelievable and really sad. Those 2 were both really took care of everyone that needed anything. They were also a major part of Geissele. RIP

    LWRC REPR VS Larue PredatOBR 7.62

    He asked for info based on experience, having not owned one. What did I say about yours? Not really sure what that has to do with anything other than if you are getting defensive because there is some bashing directed at the rifle you chose. If yours shoots, good for you man. I have heard...

    LWRC REPR VS Larue PredatOBR 7.62

    Agreed. I would ignore any information that is over the top and things that say stuff like "my friend has used this in a lot of firefights". Best is to go off of personal 1st hand experience and guys that actually use these rifles for things other than shooting groups at 100 yards. Feel free...

    LWRC REPR VS Larue PredatOBR 7.62

    Riggsie, There are not too many guys that have had the chance to use several of these rifles. We did a big write up with the Vuurwapen blog on the REPR (I wanted to like it too). It just doesn't shoot (We had 3 different uppers). LWRCi is a good company and they make nice products, but the...

    And I need a Larue why??

    Love Geissele, but rail still mounts to bbl nut. Heat and Bipod load changes often make for POI shift, is one reason why the Larue is a better LR design for a gas gun.

    Where is my larue!

    I have had pretty good luck with them, although they are slammed.....that is just a reality. I ordered several rifles over 2013......not sure what version I would want or when they would ship, then I got 3 TOBR's in about 2 weeks. Not a bad problem to have, but my bank account doesn't like it...

    2014 SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE - Announcement

    Land navigation and physical preparedness have been the deciding factors the past 2 years. The shooting is something to make it fun and in theory could break some close ties. But if you ask anyone that has done it, positions are gained and lost in the foot movements.

    Need help on Gessiele trigger

    SSA-E is a good option....but I haven't used a SSA that was mushy at all, something must be up.

    New Geissle MK4 KeyMod without front quad rail?

    I guess Geissele has made a version of the MK4 KeyMod without the front mini quadrail (Like in the prototype versions). I have one of the prototypes, but the new version is starting to ship out to dealers. Makes a ton of sense, I didn't really get the mount of having the Keymod in the middle...

    Double taps with my LMT

    I see this all the time, it is not the gun. Guys have the same issue when they go to a trigger like the Geissele S3G, if you float the trigger it will fire a 2nd shot under recoil because you are in the sweet spot between firing and reset. If you are not getting a dead trigger after the 2nd...

    How many magazines per rifle ?

    Just like ammo, have what you use to train, back ups for that (stock), and a "don't touch" pile. Important to understand the "don't touch" pile should rotate out, but remain the same qty.
