POF P308, LaRue OSR, LWRC SABR

OK,
Now I've got one of each on order. All are 7.62/.308 and all will arrive ????????? hopefully before any AWB. Then I'll have to decide which I like best Oh well, the waiting will give me more time to decide on optics and stock up on magazines and ammo.

AFAIK, the SABR only comes with either 12 or 20" barrels.

My Scout with 18" barrel already feel a bit on the long side.

And 12" would require class III.

So are you getting the 20" barrel or the class III 12" barrel?

Nice selection, will you be selling the one you don't want?

According to the LWRC website, the SABR is available in:
12.7" or 16.1" lightweight contour
18" medium contour
20" heavy contour

SABR - SNIPER/ASSAULTER BATTLE RIFLE

Is the website not accurate to what they are currently releasing? I know the final release of the SABR has been ever changing...

I don't know. Maybe my info is out dated. I recalled reading this somewhere...

I'll take the 16" version please!

I happen to know the guys at LWRC, they're solid guys, but they are SWAMPED! Even with their new manufacturing capabilities, they cannot keep up.

Most likely they are not putting up any SABR info until they themselves have a solid grasp on when they can crank it out.

FWIW, LWRC employee's have a heinous time trying to get gear.

That's cool that you know them! Sorry if that appeared to be a negative comment, it wasn't meant to be. I have been very impressed with their products and I am glad they are making sure the product is 100% correct before they release it, that is the right way to do it.

My buddies LWRC M6A2 in 6.8 should be showing up any time now, I look forward to getting to play with it.
