It's not that complicated.... I was asked in other threads to post some guns.... 1). The LaRue's are wonderful firearms....I just don't prefer 5.56 and rarely shoot them. However they are so nice I will NEVER sell them....Is that OK with you? 2). The Quality of the LMT-AR is also great.....it just happens to be a PISTON-AR......that's all....I probably shouldn't have mentioned that part. I'm sure I'd be equally happy with an LMT-NON-Piston-AR-15. 3). I prefer 30-Caliber and LOVE my M14's as stated. 4). For a DIFFERENT flavor, and in ADDITION to the Rifles I already own, I think I'd like to own a .308-AR. 5). The Rifle I have my eye on is the LMT-MWS-Sharpshooter package....but I'm sure I could be extremely happy if I went with the LaRue OBR or PredatOBR instead. 6). In either case, I THINK I want a Schmidt & Bender 1.5x8-Short-Dot for any 308-AR I purchase. 7). I would NEVER shoot this further than 300 yards. 8). I'm not a "Tactical-Operator" and I don't compete in shooting sports, etc. 9). I'm just an older guy that likes nice firearms and plink on Saturday afternoons. 10). Is that clear and/or meet your approval? I apologize if it doesn't. As a moderator, feel free to kick me out of here though. Just thought it might be a good forum for me. Guess I was wrong....

No need....I live in MAINE....and you can't even SEE 200 yards in any direction due to heavy wooded area, let alone SHOOT further than that. LONG distance shooting is one of those things that doesn't interest me....whether for self-defense or sporting purposes. I'd rather shoot steel or other objects at 100~300 yards.... POU....(Philosophy Of Use)

Aimpoint 3X....got rid of it though....

I LOVE these Wilsons.....all made to (older) Protector & QCB specs.... I can hit anything I aim for at 25 yards.... Knock wood....but NEVER had a failure-to-feed either... I love them so much....

I understand the math behind the 20-MOA rail....and necessary at LONG ranges.....just not for my purposes. The LaRue OBR has the ENTIRE Rail at 20-MOA....not just a screw-on section, etc. The LMT-MWS has ZERO-MOA built-in....where the rail is parallel with the bore. I don't need EXTRA adjustments including double-turn turrets, etc.....just doo-dads that clutter me up. I'll never shoot any of my Rifles over 300 yards....

My kid loves these and still shoots them.... They are so nice I will never sell them....LaRue stuff is like jewelry....but drive tacks like a hammer.

LaRue Tactical

Wilson Combat

I've been through a LOT of firearms over the past several decades.... For hand-guns NOTHING has come close to my many (Wilson) 1911-.45-Autos. But NOTHING makes me smile like my (LRB) M14's Rifles. I love everything about them....especially the simplicity, reliability, and ruggedness. I have another one coming next week! I just bought a pair of Schmidt & Bender 10x42-PM-II Fixed Power Scopes i'll be trying soon. (Scope in bottom pic is not mine) These are older pics, but will post more as soon with new TNVC Cheek-Risers, and Scopes.

I realize....no biggie... I mentioned my LMT piston AR is as nice as anything. But the LuRues have never failed either. That said, I'll still take an M-14 over anything anyday to save my life.

Yes that one....

Hi everyone, I own some LaRue & LMT (Piston) AR-15's.... I NEVER shoot them anymore, and only shoot 7.62x51/.308. I've narrowed my next Rifle down to the LMT-MWS-Sharpshooter package.....I especially like the fact that the LMT Rail is 0-MOA.....(The LaRue-OBR is 20-MOA) Has anyone bought the entire meal-deal from LMT? Are you happy? I LOVE their Piston-AR... Thanks!

That's a great point that S&B agrees with in their own advertising.... Honestly, the Vortex Razor 1-6x24 is AWESOME, and I may just stick with those anyway for a .308 AR... Thanks!

Great comments guys......And another thing.... I have to say the Vortex Razor 1-6 does everything and more.....great eye relief, great glass, great red dot, durability, etc. I just wanted to squeak a couple more X's out by going to 8x with the S&B.

Haha... But I don't own the S&B 1.5-8x26 Short-Dot.....yet at least.... So I guess I'll have to get one coming!

Thank you Shepp.... Whatever rule I broke I certainly apologize for... In the meantime, I posted in the introduction area. I've been reading here for a long time.... Thanks again, Mark

Hi everybody, I'm male from Southern Maine that loves dogs, firearms, and long walks on the beach....oops....wrong forum... Just kidding.... Anyway....after several decades of owning/shooting all types of firearms, these days I ONLY shoot my .45-Autos, and M-14's in 7.62x51. I still own some LaRue AR's and an LMT Piston AR but never shoot them anymore. I've looked at the LaRue OBR as well as the PredatOBR....But the LMT-MWS-Sharpshooter package seems to turn my head more than any other black rifle. I also own a pile of Vortex Optics Razor-HD-Gen-II scopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, and monoculars. However, I just bought a couple of Schmidt & Bender 10x42 PM-II's for my M-14's. I'm interested in who uses S&B glass on their AR's.... Let me know if you have any questions, thanks. Mark

Hi folks, (I mostly shoot M-14's with Vortex Razors, Schmidt & Benders, as well as Iron-Sights; however I own some LMT & LaRue AR-15's and have used a fair number of Aim-Points and ACOGs as well. I really NEVER shoot 5.56 at all anymore and only shoot 7.62x51) My next project will be an LMT-MWS-Sharpshooter package in .308. Does ANYONE have experience with the Schmidt & Bender 1.5-8x26 Short-Dot? I don't hear much about these. I have a pair of Vortex Razor 1-6x24 HD-Gen-II's which probably makes the most sense to use. I'm sure I'd buy Spuhr Mount/Rings in 34mm to secure it. Thanks! http://www.schmidtundbender.de/en/products/police-and-military-forces/1-5-8x26-pm-ii-shortdot.html
