I decided to keep the RRA LAR-8 Elite Operator. My buddy bought the DPMS LR-308 Oracle. That was a good gun. My neighbor who is just out of the marine corp showed me just how well it shoots. I highly recommend it. The Rock River shoots well too. I must say, however, that I am a little disappointed with the lack of information you can get from the dealer and RRA while waiting for over a year for a weapon. It reminded me of the attitude the soup nazi takes on the old Seinfeld tv series. Basically just place your order and wait. Don't call us, They will decide if we need to know anything, even after you were told it would be in between 90 and 120 days from the FOD. I mean really? 399 days to get a gun. They told me once they were waiting on barrels and had no idea when they would get them. Really! No wonder China is killing us in the market place.
