If it doesn't shoot 1/2 MOA do I get an ice cream cone or a t-shirt? Not trying to be a skeptic here but often times the devil is in the details.. </div></div>

Anyways that is a great guarantee!!</div></div>
When I got my NRA magazine today I saw an advertisement for the Les Baer rifle and that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the price - what, a B&C stock...hmm. Looks expensive to me for what you get. They are up against some pretty tough competion in that price range. </div></div>

I went over to look at them and was not excited, mainly due to their high price. Maybe I'm missed something, like very light weight or an exceptionally smooth action, but I would pick a GAP, KWM APA,... instead. </div></div>

Granted, LB does make some nice guns, but I don't think you can just walk into the realm of long range shooting carrying your guarantees and riding your high priced name/reputation.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: BeachGun</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It is kind of typical with les baer. You pay a premium price for the firearm, but some of the components are, dare I say, cheap?
I have had a few LB AR's pass by me. $2400-$2600 for a rifle with a $15 standard collaspable stock, a $2 nylon sling. Not to mention the backwards castle nut.
Nothing against B&C, but as far as quality, they aren't mcmillian or HS.
just my humble opinion </div></div>

For that kind of money, I should get my choice of trigger, barrel, and stock. I don't expect to see them jumping off the shelf. </div></div>
