Just curious about owners experience with one of these. I just ordered the carbon barrel version. Just wondering about accuracy, preferred ammo, reliability, and what scopes people are running. Is the BX trigger usable? Thanks.
Grey Birch LDR Owners?

Nice buy!
Its ok, but if you want to buy something good buy once and cry once and go to Dlask and order a Kidd - https://dlaskarms.com/product/kidd-single-stage-trigger-pack/
What kind of accuracy are you seeing at 50 and 100 yards? Does it run cheap stuff ok like CCI SV?
It loves CCI SV, which will still be sub moa.
What's the deal with changing barrels? I just noticed this on your website,
Not sure why I didn't notice this before? I was hoping to be able to swap barrels between an LDR and RDR if I wanted to but it looks like it's a hassle?
Who will be doing barrel swaps when you guys head down south?

We do not sell after market barrels and they are our pattern. The barrels are threaded in.
Thanks, I realize they are threaded on.
I bought 2 of them recently just waiting patiently for delivery. One was a complete demo gun with the rail and 16 inch barrel and then I picked up or rather ordered a 12.5 RDR barrel/receiver because the price was so good. I was mistakenly under the impression that if I wanted to swap barrels it would be just a matter of loosening the collar and un threading but apparently it's a proprietary deal and somehow I missed that detail.
No one should expect awesome performance from inexensive, non-match ammo, even if it is standard velocity. CCI SV is not an ammo with which sub-MOA can be regularly or consistently expected with any rifle. It's simply not up to the task.
It's important to keep in mind that no rifle (or barrel), however good, can outshoot the ammo it's given. Custom rigs, Vudoos, and the best factory match rifles -- G+E, Bleiker, FWB, Walther etc. -- can't work miracles with inexpensive ammo like CCI SV.
How long ago did you order the demo rifle? That's what I ordered as well
My LDR with CCI SV is about MOA at 50/100, its nowhere near as good as my RimX with premium SK ammo. But I don't expect it to be, that being said with Sk Standard+ its about 3/4 MOA.
Perfect. That's all I could hope for really out of a semi. I've got a bergara b14r for consistent tiny groups. If this will do moa with SV and better with premium ammo, that's perfect
OK. I ordered yesterday so hopefully it doesn't ship in July, lol, considering its in stock
I purchased just over 3 weeks ago but I guess I also missed the part about back ordered till mid July for the 12.5 barrel.... maybe I should pony up some extra shipping money and get them to send out the demo unit... I thought it said a couple weeks on the barrel but it's possible I missed that as well when I missed that Fusion really did mean fused...
I believe they ship once or possibly twice a week. Let us know how she shoots when you get a chance!
For sure. Not alot of information in the wild about these so I'll do an update with accuracy and some ammo testing

12.5” barrels are about to go to grinding. They will be earlier than promised.
Claims such as this do a disservice to readers by raising false expectations.
At both 50 and 100 yards, there's a difference between getting occasional good results with inexpensive non-match ammo such as CCI SV and getting regular and consistent good results. While it's not surprising to achieve some MOA groups at 50 with ammo such as CCI SV, it must be noted that seeing the same for 100 yards becomes increasingly unlikely because .22LR performance is not linear. It gets worse and worse as distance increases.
If the results described with either CCI SV regular and consistent -- that is, more or less all the time -- that experience is literally quite incredible. Few shooters make the claim, let alone back it up. Similarly, if SK Standard Plus delivers regular and consistent .75 MOA at both 50 and 100 -- regardless of rifle -- it is also equally incredible. Neither CCI SV nor SK Standard Plus can be expected to deliver MOA or better performance on anything like a regular basis at 50 and especially at 100.
If you want to go on and on about how good or bad CCI SV is, go start a thread. This was about LDR Owners and their experiences with the rifle. Thanks for stopping by
