| I forgot to mention that I need to stay under $3000.00 for whichever one I go with. I can do that with the LAR WITH a scope. |

| i had an lar for several years and it was a good rifle with no problems, but then i sold it and bought the state arms big bertha. it weighs about 10#'s more and comes with a huge wood stock that makes the whole thing much more comfortable to shoot than the lar was. pricetag is similar, only thing is it is big |

| Is it easy to get used to the LAR bolt? |

| the bolt on the lar is about the same as the rest of the singleshots, it's just a big shellholder. you remove it and slide the rim of the round into the holder and then put the whole works back in. it did take a bit of time to get used to the bullpup design. somehow having that big round go off next to you head just never was perfectly comfortable |

| I took the plunge! My new LAR will be in Tuesday along with a new Leupold Mark 4 LR. I am pretty excited! |

| I have an LAR. I wish I had bought a Barrett or AR50 instead. While the LAR is nice and short, the muzzle brake is small and reoil is much more than the AR50. I have not been able to do better than ten inch groups at 500 yards with match ammo either. Ranb

| I love my AR50. With a mono pod attached you can sight the target, stand up , pull the trigger, and watch the bullet impact. Really cool when your shooting hard targets and using spotter tracers or blue tip ammo.It is that rock solid !

| I had an AR 50 and it was a great rifle. I mounted a Night Force scope on the beast and it was very accurate and a pleasure to shoot. Great gun for the money!! |

| I've had my AR-50 since they first came out. They are a fantastic rifle with the only "complaint," if you can call it that, is the trigger is a bit heavy. You can use any Remington 700 trigger to get a better pull and then it is just about perfect IMO. Mine is a 1/2 MOA rifle with match loads out to 500 yards which is the longest I have shot.
