Why Shooters Choose the LAR-8 X-1
.308 Reach & Authority: Proven big-game and practical-precision caliber with broad ammo availability from 147–178gr.
18" Stainless Match Barrel: Balanced length for velocity and handling; stainless construction supports consistency over long strings and varying weather.
Free-Float Accuracy: Handguard isolation keeps sling/barricade pressure off the barrel for more repeatable point of impact.
Confidence-Inspiring Ergonomics: RRA A2 Operator stock (tan) offers rock-solid cheek weld and storage potential; Hogue® grip provides secure traction in rain, heat, or gloves.
Stage- & Field-Ready: Ships with a carry case so you can head straight to zero, the range, or the blind.
Note: Specific rail pattern, muzzle device, and trigger configuration may vary by lot or distributor. Confirm current specs with your retailer.

Performance You’ll Notice
Practical Precision: Stainless barrel + free-float rail = predictable groups with quality hunting or match ammunition.
Manageable Recoil: Large-frame weight, straight-line stock geometry, and quality muzzle device (where equipped) keep the sight picture stable.
Reliable Cycling: Tuned gas system supports varied .308 loads; pair with good magazines for consistent lock-back.
Ideal Use Cases
Big-Game Hunting: Ethical .308 energy with an 18" barrel that’s easier in timber or blinds than longer heavy rifles.
Ranch & Property: Durable finish and stainless barrel for all-season patrols and truck carry.
Practical/DMR Training: Free-float accuracy and predictable handling for barricade work and mid-range steel (300–800+ yards with good dope).
Setup Tips (Non-Instructional)
Optics: A quality LPVO (1-8×/2-10×) or 3-15× scope pairs well with the 18" barrel. Confirm ring height for a natural cheek weld on the A2 Operator stock.
Muzzle Device: Choose a 5/8×24-compatible brake/flash hider/suppressor mount (verify threads); re-zero after installation.
Sling & Light: Add QD points and a white light on the free-float for low-light capability without upsetting balance.
Magazines & Ammo: Test a few 155–178gr loads to find the barrel’s “happy place.” Keep notes on velocities and drops.
Zeroing & Ballistics Hints
Zero: 100 yards for precision or 50/200 yards for general-purpose; confirm at 300–600 yards.
Dope Card: Record drops and wind holds for your chosen load at 200/300/400/600 yards to speed up corrections.
Ejection Pattern: Aim for a consistent 3–4 o’clock pattern; tune buffer weight if needed.
Care & Maintenance
Stainless Barrel: Clean with quality solvent, nylon/bronze brush, and patch to maintain consistency; protect crown and throat.
Fastener Checks: Re-torque handguard and optic mounts after the first high-round-count session.
Gas System: Keep the BCG well-lubed during classes or cold-weather hunts for reliable cycling.
