Larue predatOBR
Man, these threads sure can take a turn can't they.
As for the PredatOBR, it looks like a nifty concept, but I'm not sure that its really intended for the precision crowd, at least not in the traditional sense. IMO if you're the kind of guy who is good enough or interested enough to try and squeeze out the last 0.1 MOA out of a rig, then you're better off sticking to a bolt gun instead of a take apart gas gun. On the other hand if you happen to need a gun that can be taken apart and transported in a minimal space, assembled in a short time and capable of DMR type (1-1.5 MOA) accuracy then this is the niche tool for you. Same goes for the LMT. Looks like LT found a way to go around LMT's patents and come up with a rifle capable of rapid, simple and reliable barrel removal. One that doesn't necessarily need a torque wrench. That is not such a bad thing.
The hand tightening of the barrel is definitely simple and positive, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way to put a torque wrench to the nut and insure better repeatability. If you really need that kind of repeat zero.
I like the hand guard, but I wonder how durable it will be in the long run. What happens after some abuse and how much does it flex when you load a bipod over and over and over and over.... Will it fatigue???
With all that, the price and wait are out of my league for sure. I can't imagine paying almost 2X over a 901 and then waiting over a year.
