Hey guys,
Looking to get a new rifle. I am thinking 14.5 pinned and Im leaning towards the Larue. I have a SR15 MD Edition and Scar16 and Im just looking to add a little variety. The players in the game are BCM, DD, Larue, KAC, and Noveske. For the $ it looks like I am getting the most with the Larue. There doesnt seem to be a whole lot of talk around here about them so what are peoples opinions?

Larue makes super high quality stuff, you certainly can't go wrong with it. Pretty damn sexy looking rifle too

Nice rifle, nice choice.

Make sure you NEED the "OBR" part of that rifle though.

The 20MOA rail can be a PITA to get cheek weld and if it's a 14.5, why do you need the 20 MOA rail? That's for big scopes/long range.

The medium contour barrel, is well medium contour. It heavier than the PredatAR light barrel profile, and if it's a 14.5, why do you need the medium contour barrel?

Some folks are reporting half-MOA out of the lightweight PredatAR's (good enough for me.)

If it was my 14.5, I'd get the PredatAR. But that's just me.
Talk about a lightweight, ass-kicker with precision.

EDIT: Ok, my bad - the PredatOBR doesn't have the 20MOA rail - just the OBR. Looks like it's got the OBR's heavy barrel however, which on a 14.5 doesn't make much sense to me, but the PredatAR only comes in 16 & 18, so go figure.

EITHER way, LaRue rifles kickass. Good choice and pretty much ignore most of my above post, LOL.
