sketch Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Well if you waited this long you should have a new budget for glass (scope) what are your range expectations ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS455 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Man I'm sorry. I was a little over a year. Haven't taken it to the range yet but my trigger is messed up. All stiff and spongy. NOT a two-stage "match" feel. They said it would be a six week turnaround. I'll get around to sending it back before too long. Just realised I never updated. FYI - I sent mine back and got a new trigger group and now it feels like a dream. Less than two-week turnaround. Roughed it in wearing a 4x ACOG and was slapping 16" steel at 300 yds no problem. Unfortunaltey it's just gone back to RR again under warranty due to tight chamber (?) Discussed here if anyones interested . . .

blue109 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 My buddy has wanted a 308 for a while. Decided to look around on gun broker for xmas. Found a guy with 2 LAR8s who lived in the same city as his brother. Had his brother give him a call. They decided to each buy one. Ordered the 26th, should be here at the FFL Monday. Don't know the exact model, or price, but he had said in the past he wasn't going to pay over $1400. Seems like a much better option than waiting a year, even if you pay a little more.

planeflyer21 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 That's what I did blue…shopped, found IN STOCK, ordered. And the prices on both were a couple of hundred less than many of the "order and wait" offers from gun shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniky73 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wed will be 15 months since I placed my order. Has anyone been waiting longer than me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS455 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Man . . . Have you called them? What have they said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 One thing I see that keeps coming up with many people. "I ordered the gun through my LGS and it has now been X-months, still nothing." Meanwhile, new-in-the-box RRA LAR-8s keep popping up for sale on auction sites. IF I were waiting I would also be looking at these sales…you know, to see if my LGS has auctioned off my order one or five times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I could understand the wait time a year ago, but there are LAR8's in circulation now. I would call LGS and ask them to call RRA to find out what the hold up is. You may want to look elsewhere if you want one sooner.

GDrights308 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Still waiting for my special op @ 395 days. Contacted RRA last week, they gave the excuse they were waiting on the barrels. Is there only one barrel manufacturer in the US? To those young entrepeneurs out there, this might be a great business to get into. One saving grace for the ridiculous delay is most of the accouterments have been assembled, in part to the suggestions provided on this forum. Thanks guys.
