MWS/OBR and a Can

[vectorsc]

I'm going to be getting a .308 Can and the options are MWS and OBR right now.

Which would you pick for your can and why? Any firsthand to go by?

I have a YHM 762 Phantom I plan on using on my MWS when I get it next month.

It's QD the can isn't hatefully priced, the QD mounts are reasonable and it's quiet. I've been using it on my SBR a lot and I'm really liking the tone it has with 5.56.

I may have been unclear - I mean which gun, not which can.

To me the OBR is more precision based. It has the built in 20MOA cant in the rail, and an SS barrel.


The MWS is more "battle rifle" oriented with no cant in the rail, and all you can get right now is the 16" CL barrels. SS 5R barrels are coming which will open up the "precision" role to the MWS but not yet.



So really whatever fits your use better Id go with. I actually just got a MWS but Im not looking for absolute precision with it, and would benefit more with the CL barrel due to shooting habits and longevity. I can shoot decent groups with with the MWS anyways but I don't get its going to be "sub-MOA" with the CL barrel and factory loads. If you go with the OBR I doubt LaRue is ever going to come out with a CL barrel for it.

That being said, did you get sub-moa out of the MWS with the CL barrel?

No. I was getting about 1.5" groups @ 100 with it. Keep in mind I was just resting the VFG on a pack, and had a rear rest, and this is the first time Ive shot it actually. I only had some Black Hills 168's and Hornady Super-Performance 150 SST's. I shot some Monarch soft points, too, but only at a 250 yard LaRue steel target.
