    breakdown

    I like the setup of the PredatOBR; however, the "breakdown" capability is not a selling point for me. If Mr. Larue has come up with a way to break a precision AR down and have it reassemble without loss of zero....great. I personally have no need to break an AR down for storage/transport into a package any smaller than simply separating the upper and lower halves (I use the Larue discreet case...very nice). This is a cool concept, just not for me. Regardless, I would ALWAYS confirm my zero upon reassembly if this is a defense/duty rifle.....the only responsible thing to do.

    The only thing you are saving is the length of the reciver in addition to the barrel.

    If they don't care about precision, then how is this that much smaller than a MK18 broken into two halves and stored? That is still quicker, is smaller, and has no effect on POI/POA vs the larue.

    It's a novelty, and nothing more.

    LaRue is known for their precision products, i think they know what theyre doing.

    These guns arent just for civilian use, some tactical applications require the use of special weapons, these guys just found a simpler way of lugging it around

    I am interested in the performance of the new in house barrels compared to the previous LW barrels.

    I'm also skeptical of the return to zero when the barrel is being removed. I have no doubts that it's going to be a very accurate gun. Larue hasn't disappointed in that regards. Return to zero by removing the barrel though... ehhhhhh.. I'm not sold on that capability. I'll just keep mine attached. I trust their return to zero capability with their mounts, though, so if they've figured out a way, then that makes this a pretty special gun.

    The removable handguards, though is kind of a nifty little feature. again, many folks (myself included) trust their mounts to have repeatable return to zero.

    barrel removal

    In a COMPLETELY different system and setup. The LMT MRP does a pretty good job of maintaining zero when the barrel is removed and then put back. The way in which they do it (two screws) not at all what Larue is doing, nor is the LMT a precision rifle. However, this demonstrates that it can be done. If anyone can make such a concept happen in a precision setup, it would be Larue and his guys. They also make great cooking condiments (Dillo dust).

    Not a big dillo dust fan, then again im from the SE so we do it a bit different here.

    That said if the Paratus can pull it off, no doubt Larue can.

    Anyone can make a rifle as accurate as on OBR.. There is no trickery to making an accurate AR. Use a great Barrel, Float it, Good trigger, ammo and monkey behind it......... Its all in the barrel brah

    Precision and QD are mutually exclusive.

    Blind faith.....

    Larue does not even make their own barrels (for now) and has been building rifles for less than 4 years. I hardly call them an epicenter of precision.

    I will let y'all know when I receive mine. Order was placed in 3/17/12 for 7.62 16.1 barrel. The TOBR are shipping out with Larue's own barrel and I'm looking forward to the multi caliber capabilities - although I don't think this will happen anytime soon.
