planeflyer21 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Picked it up a few months back. After shopping all the .308 AR platforms, this one seemed like the best deal...all the extras I was looking for, so I wouldn't need to shop all the aftermarket goodies (HA! Yeah, right).When I got it, the only scope I had available was a cheapie NcStar that had been around. That worked ok for a bit. I wanted a lower powered variable, so started shopping those.A buddy strongly recommended the Redfield 2-7x32mm, so got one of those. Great scope for the money! Had it mounted at first on a Burris P.E.P.R. mount, which was a bit too high for my squat face. It now sits in a set of Weaver extra high tactical rings, which are just right for me.While the rifle was sighted in with the cheap scope and run for reliability (VERY reliable!), I have yet to go to the range with the current setup.Got a bunch of FN/FAL mags NEW from AIM Surplus. Korean made steel. A few needed the followers fixed but all run 100% now.Pics after the next range session.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt.Cross Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Nice, I like the pile of brass. Good save my man, good save. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks Matt!This LAR-8 dumps the brass in a small area...been a long time since I had a rifle that did that! Quite a contrast to Mini14s or AKs that look like fieldgoal kicks flying across the range.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
