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.
