This is my first post here so please, be gentle
I just recieved my 18" Larue obr a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share the range report with some friends.
First the rifle came packaged with the usual Larue goodies and seemed extremely well done as expected. I opted for the surefire muzzlebreak and a standard a2 stock. The scope will be a viper pst 6-24 but untill that is off of backorder I am using a nikon monarch 2.5-10 to get a feel for the rifle.
I zeroed the rifle @ 100 using some south african surplus and got 2 3 shot groups with that ammo just kidof for refrence 1.8" and 1.6" ctc.
Next 2 groups were with some one shot muitions that I picked up @ knob creek that were advertised as 168 gr match loads. First group had 2 on top of one another with a third called left opening the group up to 1.2" next group was .9ctc.
Last group @ 100 was 168 gr fgmm and it stacked 3 into a .307" ctc group. I quit shooting at 100 at that point because I knew I couldnt do any better than that
Last group of the day was with the one shot munitions stuff @ 200 where I got it to print just inside of 1.75" After that I shot a little at a 5" swinger at 300 and had no problems with the south african stuff.
Figured I shold take it home and clean it after that since it wasnt broken in yet.
All of the shooting was done off of a harris bipod in the mud with a small bag under the rear. It was sunny with no wind and the temp was around 60 degrees.
Some observations:
- Cheekweld will be a little bit of an issue with this stick due to the rail height, but wont be a deal killer by any means.
- The surefire muzzle break is awesome! No problem watching your hits thru the scope.
- Man does this thing shoot! For a rifle with 25 rounds or so through it I couldnt be more happy. I still need to settle on a load and do more testing but this thing is very capable.
- The upper and lower on this rifle are tighter than a bugs ear, you arent poping this thing apart with just your fingers.
- Mark sends these things "wet". Lets just say they are well lubed.
If anyone is interested in pics I would be glad to post them, but I still havent figured out how
Thanks
