I'd like some input from those who care to chime in ...
Before the craziness set in, I bought a Rock River LAR-8 lower. Now, I'm debating how to build it up. I had intended to buy a RRA upper and make it into a semi-precision, long-range, reach-out-and-touch-someone-with-love rifle, but am wondering what other options might be out there.
According to RRA, the LAR-8 lowers do NOT necessarily mate with uppers from other manufacturers, so I guess I'm pretty much stuck with a RRA upper (correct me if I'm wrong.) Is there any merit in mating a different barrel with a RRA upper?
What about making an SBR? Is that a fool's errand for a .308?
Given that any serious long-distance rifle would be a bolt-action, is the most reasonable course of action to just stick with a stock RRA upper and be happy?
Thanks for any advice.
