edgecrusher Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 wondering which would be better for a battle rifle. i currently own a 20" larue obr which i shoot regularly to 330 yds at my local range and would like to get a 16" or if i get a lucky class 3 permit from my local police chief, a 12". reliability and accuracy are more of a deciding factor than price, and my larue shoots 1/4" groups at 100 yds but is too big for what i want this rifle to be. there are many choices out there and i am looking for all the info i can get. any replies are greatly appreciated, and if anyone is considering the obr, i have nothing bad to say, 100% happy, no failures, ridiculous accuracy and the 16" is a finalist in my di choices.

survivalshop Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Nothing wrong with a 16" barrel , it will get out there & have good accuracy.How good is up to the shooter ,ammo & of course the barrel.As far as DI vs piston , well they both work & both have there goods & bads , that's a choice you will have to make .In the AR platform I personally prefer DI . The AR platform was designed for it from the start . No matter what they tell you , piston guns can fowl up & cause problems also. DI guns have no moving parts in the gas system , unless you concider the Bolt carrier ,part of the gas system.DI AR rifles are more accurate , piston guns getting close , but I do not think they are capable of matching AR DI rifles ..

edgecrusher Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 thanks for the info, anyone out there own a lwrc repr or a lmt .308? still trying to get some ideas. most of what i have heard of pof was not good, and other than larue and the two above the only other rifle that's catching my eye is the kaiser, which i have only seen through the link here.

edgecrusher Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks jg, but I would like to stay with the dpms/sr25 style receivers, thats what my larue is and I have been buying and using those mags, so the fal platform just does not appeal to me personally.
