Rock River LAR8 Varmint / .308, 26 inch bull barrel

[horizonod]

This Rock River LAR8 is my favorite long range rifle and it's a deadly tack driver with a seemingly bottomless well. I added a Zeiss Conquest 6x14x50 scope with their Z-1000 reticle. This reticle is factory calibrated to the .308 so it was an absolute no brainer as a choice. Added a Magpul stock, Harris bipod and butler creek sling to complete the package. I thought about a tactical sling but this gun is pretty long and heavy so I opeted for a standard one. She prints sub MOA groups with bargain ammo at 100 yards. The pic below is a 1/4 inch steel plate that was on a swing away target setup that was supposed to be able to stand up to high powered rifle rounds. Needless to say, it didn't. Thought the pattern was kind of cool though.

Anybody else got a Rock River they like,....or don't?

Very nice! I don't have a Rock River, but I am looking into getting a .308 AR. The Rock Rivers seem to be proving to be very good at what they do.

I want a LAR8 Standard Operator....have yet to locate a seller

I would love to find an upper with a standard 16 inch barrel but a damn upper is almost as much as a whole new rifle.

And you can't put a .308 upper on an AR-15 lower if you were thinking of that.

I want an Armalite. Particularly now that they will tak AR, DPMS or PMags. Under 1500.
Scarce.

I have the rra 308 with 16 in barrel. Very accurate, fine rifle.

only problem I have with the RRA compared to the DPMS LR-308 is the lack of PMAG capability - I dont want the FAL crap magazines.

I got a RRA carbine, been lookig for an LAR 8 and couldnt find one, I said to hell with it and got me another Armalite. dont know why LAR8s are so hard to find. I buy lots of guns but hell if I am gonna look all over the place for one. sorry RRA.

I tried to buy on in Dec and they told me 90 days wait. I went R-25.

I didn't think the LAR8 was compatible with any stocks other than the 4 listed on the RRA website. Did you need to buy/change something to use the magpul stock on it?

Regardless, nice rifle.
