LaRue Tactical OBR

[Texas1911]

I got the pleasure of shooting one of these today and all I have to say is ... damn, I want one.

At 100-Yards it shot under 1/2 MOA with factory Black Hills Match. That's out of the box, no fancy break-in, no tricks, and that is without a rear bag! I put the first two in the same hole, and the third broke a hair right of the original point of aim. With a rear bag I could have put all three in the same hole.

I've never shot a more accurate AR, period.

The trigger is by far the best I've used also (Giselle). It was light, but very crisp. If I build a precision AR, it will have that trigger in it.

That is a nice rifle. Larue makes some good quality stuff. I'll have to put it on my list.

My buddy was telling me about that when we stopped by La Rue the other day he said it was a sweet set up.

A buddy of mine test fires every new rifle for accuracy and says that they are amazingly accurate before they go in the box... I want one.

They probally include the test target with the rifle, alot of your high end firearms manufacturers do that.

LOL nice shooting.. Of course you were probably shooting at Reds right? They test fire them on the range out behind their shop that has a 1-2 inch crosswind a majority of the time..

Excuses.

Shooting a precision rifle indoors at Red's is feeble when it's full. The concussion from people next to you shooting will bump your rifle off POA every time. Fortunately I was on one of the lanes further down and it was mostly pistol shooters.

Regardless, the OBR is freaking sexy. I love the trigger, I love the feel, I love the way it shoots, and I love the fact that it's made here in Texas. I wish I had 10 of them to sell rather than the LWRC REPR.

Shot one at last year's larure match. nice rifle.

 

[Jason]

For $3,000 it ought to be able to load itself and walk down the range and shoot itself bullseyes all day!

NICE AR!!!

I had an OBR on order for almost a year. I got impatient when they went so far beyond the original release date, and used some of that money to have AR Performance build me a 6.8SPC AR. Once again, I am saving up for the OBR.

As a side note, LaRue had to change the name of the OBR. It was originally called the OSR, for Optimized Sniper Rifle, but Dick(head) Swan, owner of ARMS, threw a fit because ARMS has a copyright filed for "OSR" for their the Optimized Swan Rail. He has also gone after Mark LaRue for using the number "17" in some of the LaRue mounts. I'll never spend another dime on ARMS products, ever. Sorry if any of this has been discussed elsewhere on TGTalk.
