LaRue Rifles

[Jay D]

Any of you guys have experience with LaRue ARs? I'm thinking about picking one up and wanted to see what you guys had to say about their rifles.

I'm leaning toward 5.56 over 7.62 at this point due to the cost of the rifle and ammo. I generally shoot 300 yards and in, but I am very interested in coyote/hog hunting.

What do you guys think? 5.56 or 7.62? Do you have a preference for OBR/PredatAR/PredatOBR?

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your responses!

Have you thought about 6.8 SPC? I just got an upper from Bison Armory out of WA and the thing shoots pretty dang well. Only about 50 round through it with most being break-in.

This was a 5 shot group from 100 yards (one got away from me ). The cartridge has pretty good ballistics out to 300 with a lot of bullet choices. All you need is a new barrel and a bolt if you have an extra upper laying around.

LaRue makes a fantastic rifle. Any models you mentioned will be worthy of anything you won't to do with them.

As for which caliber...... I vote for shooting the round you can afford to shoot the most.

I have never owned one but this I know to be true.

If you're going to be hunting with it and not shooting a lot, I'd got for the 7.62, especially for hogs. If you're going to shoot a lot of targets and practice, go for the cheaper round.

Called LaRue at 10:00 to order one of the Costa PredatOBRs and he said I was about 15 minutes too late. That sure is a nice looking rifle.

You will glad you missed out eventually. That is about $1500 of marketing with a $1300 rifle.

What if it came with a little baggie of beard clippings in the grip storage?

 

[jtischauser]

I'd pay $2800 of it would help me grow a Costa beard. I will never be the Tactical Timmy I've always dreamed of being with out a good beard.

a great beard is essential

I just got my larue OBR 5.56 about 4 days ago. I work at a gun shop and have shot or at least seen them all. the larue is hands down my favorite by far. their attention to detail is unsurpassed. feel free to send me an email at [email protected] if you need to do a test fire to see for yourself. after you are blown away by the pure awsomeness you can swing by my shop and buy one.

 

[Jay D]

Thanks for the offer! What shop do you work at? We may have talked already.

I thought about getting a Larue once. That was until I went to a few dealers asking about them and I was told that Larue will not honor the FFL of any dealer in Oklahoma. The shops that I spoke with were H&H, Murfs Guns in Duncan, and another shop out in Weatherford. I wrote them an e-mail and asked if this was true what I was being told, they did not reply. Has anyone else heard this?

 

[Jay D]

Squid works at a local gun shop and they got a few in the other day, so I would say that info was bogus.

One of my buddies just received his Costa edition. I can't wait to shoot it. His number was somewhere in the 20s. I am just happy I get to shoot it without spending the money to buy it.

What you need with that is a Jake Burki edition surefire flashlight. Its just like a normal one except I painted it tan and charge you double

The guns seem quite solid, but I am hoping to go local, Loki, when I purchase my first AR. I like to support the local guys when I can, especially when they make amazing products :good:

The Gun Range (formerly Sgt. Everett's) is a LaRue dealer and Kelly is good guy.

Who is Jake Burki?

Who is Jake Burki?

He's one bad ass semi-pro.

His secret is to only shoot 1/2 of a match very well. The other 1/2 half is shot like complete crap. It keeps all of us guessing what he's up to next.
