I went with the Larue. I really like how it felt when I handled it a SHOT. I like that I can get it in 18" and that it takes standard 308 magazines, i.e KAC.
I'm using a Noveske N6 14.5" w/ NF 1X4X24 FC-2 Ret. right now on a Saudi Protective detail in Vegas.
Why ?
It runs and shoots superbly.
I run 168 & 175 gr w/ no issues whatsoever w/ gen 2 mags etc.
Good luck on your quest.
HTH....
On the face of it, this is just a silly statement. Popular mags? Used by several vendors? Absolutely true.
Standard? Hardly.
RRA LAR-8 uses FAL inch & metric
Bushmaster 308 uses FAL inch & metric
ArmaLite AR-10B uses modified M14 or Checkmate GenII (aka AR-10B)
Noveske uses modified M14 or Checkmate GenII (aka AR-10B)
Sig716 modified M14 or Checkmate GenII (aka AR-10B)
CMMG offers two lowers that use G3 and AR-10B
How about neither, and this is why. The Springfeild M1 and the FAL are much better platforms for the .308/7.62. For 2000-3000, just immagine the FAL you could build.;)
My choice would be for the LaRue OBR for the simple fact of all of the glowing reports coming in regarding it's reliability. Not a simple task with the .308 AR platform.
