New LaRue Tactical bolt guns

[RyanB]

LaRue doesn't do a dealer discount, but traditionally dealers have been how you got one fast.

Personally I don't see a point for this, for AI money and weight I will buy an AI. But he will sell every one of these that he makes for whatever he charges for it.

Very true

If he's smart with it and prices them accordingly so people can buy a off the shelf rifle with having to pay a smith for the voodoo they do. I think that would be a seller.

Now that MagPul has an AI magazine, we'll see even more options, but I'm honestly holding out for the first everyman's chassis (maybe the MEGA Arms or something) that doesn't mean a $3000 rifle in order to shoot 3/4MOA groups with COTS match ammo.

I'm currently running an R700 build that's under 1/2 MOA. The total cost (minus optics) was less than $1600. Oh, and I did it in my garage.

Sorry for the hijack, back to the main topic.

Remage in the garage? Thinking of going this route myself?

[CageFighter]

definately interested!

I think it's weird how silent they've been about the barrel issue. I have yet to see any new decent reviews of how the new generation of OBR rifles are running (those that possess the new Larue barrels). I'm kicking myself for not buying an OBR that had a LW barrel my LGS had in stock

I'd like to see some reviews and how well these rifles do with ten shot groups etc. More important, why should I buy this over a GAP or a Surgeon with a Bartlein barrel? Bartlein is pretty darn hard to beat.

@NongShim I apologize for the thread hi-jack, but yeah.... It's a Criterion barrel with a .260 match chamber. I just chopped it down to 22" and threaded to use my TBAC 30PS. I just re-assembled it in my garage in about 20 minutes, including a bathroom break.

Interesting. I'm with MadAngler1 with why should the consumer buy the Larue. What differentiates it from the other established precision rifles out there, other than the Larue name?

[TheBelly]

If the price is OK, and the lead time isn't horrible, I think they can be competitive. LaRue has gotten the lead times down on the other rifles.

I think the real hiccup is that the past has shown that LaRue makes only two calibers. That's the hurdle ahead of LaRue.

Anybody at SHOT this year get any updated information...like are they even going to make this rifle? Pricing? Calibers? Did the make their own bolt gun trigger yet?

thanks!
