I also am interested in a RRA LAR-08 and also did not get any real timeframe from my dealer as to estimated lead times; so I decided to call RRA directly and hear from the horse's mouth what the situation was and here is what they told (wrote) me:
"We are currently filling backorders from late 2007, early 2008 on the .308 Mid A4 Rifle. We have not started production on the Varmint or Standard A2/A4 yet and do not have a projected date at this time. Thank you for your inquiry. Please check out

There you have it, directly from the horse's mouth.
Hope this was helpful.
