Bought this LAR-15 last year and have been gingerly shooting it and playing with it. It's a Rock River Arms BB2570 "Fall Special" which is a custom build. Basically they build a limited number of rifles with certain goodies for a limited period of time and when they are gone, they are gone. I found one at a place that had it in stock for some time and got it for a decent price.
Mounted a Vortex Strikefire II on it augmented by flip up front and rear sights in case the red dot fails. Been tweaking it, sighting it in and the last few weeks started pushing my range out to 100 yards and beyond. And now I'm addicted to punching paper at long range. How did I miss this fun for all these years?
13 rounds of cheapo Winchester 5.56 NATO xm193 ammunition from this gun using an un magnified red dot - couldn't do it with iron sights but still, what a lot of fun and discipline controlling breath and timing wind gusts and getting the rifle rest *just* right and the trigger pull slow and perfect.
Shopping now for more/better glass and dies and components to hand load 5.56X45 and see how far I stretch out and make little holes in paper with an evil black rifle. Dang it. There goes the fancy raise from my new job and the sign on bonus.
I blame all you rifle guys. First long gun I ever wanted to sleep with. I suspect there will be many more.
VooDoo
Great. Now I'm addicted to punching paper at long range.
