98Z5V Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've never bought a complete AR-anything, only built. If I was going to buy one, the only thing I would straight-out buy, complete, would be the LaRue OBR. That damn thing is so nice, I'd buy it in .308 or 5.56 - I wouldn't mind having either one.

Robocop1051 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 You listed several rifles that are built for very different reasons. The JP rifles are great rifles, but their target audience is the sport shooter. I love their rifles, but they're better for racing or paper-killing, than combat.The GAP, the Les Baer and the DPMS SASS are all great paper killers and boat anchors. Not the best combat or race gun. The OBR and the two REPR's you picked are combat hogs. These guns wil do absolutely everything you ask of them. Shoot far, shoot close, run around, get dirty... They do it all. As far as the bang for buck, I think the OBR will do nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have a larue obr and on a good day its .375 moa all day. Just look at my new years post. Best rifle made. Ever. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've no experience with any of them but Welcome, Blksheep!Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired JM Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've fired three of the ones you have listed - the POF, the OBR and the LWRCi REPR. All three were superbly made and shot beautifully. Of the three, I give the nod to the LWRCi because the side cocking lever really enhances the ergonomics of the rifle. What puts me off the REPR is the price - over $3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 If you are not going to build...then its the obr <thumbsup> Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the side charging handle on the LWRC but not sure if I like it for an extra $500 :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKSHEEP Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I had narrowed it down to the OBR,LMT & REPR,then I found out the wait times.....20" REPR should be here in 1 week! <thumbsup> <thumbsup> now on to optics <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired JM Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Awesome! I found a 20 inch REPR yesterday for ~$3K. After I get it sorted out we'll have to compare groups. <cyber fist bump> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkbow Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hard decision there, I've got a 16" POF P308 and drives tacks, I really like the gun, but only shot the LWRCI other than the Armalite I owed, so not much help here.
