Re: LaRue Costa ETA

It would be a nice rifle for $1,500 bucks, but for $2,900 it better come with a dump truck full of Dillo Dust!

It blows my mind that anybody would pay that much for a rifle that isn't really suited for competition or hunting and will never see combat. It's purely mall ninja gear. I would rather have a JP for the money.

Are you kidding? Humans pay out the ass for the stupidest shit. We're a race of morons.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

id buy it if it came with the Dball with mount, aimpoint with mount, surefire with mount, pelican case, and didnt have chris costa on the side of it...

otherwise for 3 grand you can get yourself a SR-15 with an MPO kit for the same price...
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

I still dont get the Larue haters on here. What do any of those other guns listed as suitable alternates have on this gun? Are you saying the others are more accurate, use better materials, what? I get you dont like Mark Larue, fine. And if you dont want one, dont buy it...but why do you have to crack open your cock holster every time someone says his name. Did he come over to your house and gank your crap or steal your wife away from you? I got news for you...EVERY ITEM MENTIONED ON THIS BOARD IS OVERPRICED! Evilcoon asked a question and not a single reply has anything to do with his question.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

Anytime I go to a thread with larue in it, I prepare to skip a bunch of posts by people with sand in their vagina. Get over it. It is kind of pathetic.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

Ya know there's a simple solution to you larue lovers.....why don't you ask these "brilliant" questions over on his forum at AR15. You won't get the negative answers you get on here, and you can all enjoy blowing each other afterwards.

Re: LaRue Costa ETA

Look at it for what it is, what makes it worth $2,895? Not knocking LaRue specifically, I would say the same if it was a Noveske, LMT, etc with the same features for the same price. Outside of it being "Limited Edition", I just don't see it as being worth that much as a functional piece of gear.

To answer the OP's question, I would just call Larue, there is nothing on the internet I could find which gives an ETA.

When it comes to Mark, you know better than that.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

I have a PredatOBR 5.56 on order which is spec'd similar to the Costa edition. I had mine on order before they were even taking orders for the first batch of Costa's yet they haven't shipped a single PredatOBR yet as far as I can tell. I called last week and they are still saying unknown release date for the PredatOBR 5.56. It seems to me they are selling the Costa first because of the higher margin they're getting on it. I don't know that I blame them, it's their business, but i sure wish they'd work on the PredaOBR orders before they do another round of Costa's.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

There is a predOBR in a gun shop around here right now. So not sure why your having trouble getting yours

A PredatAR or a PredatOBR? Or an OBR? If you look at Larue's website there are no reviews for the PredatOBR, whereas all the other rifles have review. I don't think a single PRedaOBR has shipped yet.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

Nevermind I remembered wrong it didn't have the thicker OBR barrel it was the light AR. Sorry for the confusion

Thanks for making my point. The OP just want to know the release date and you have to turn it into something negative. Some want to talk about guns and you steer the conversation to guys blowing other guys. hmm. Have you looked in the mirror lately?

The LT superfanclub must be the gunworld equivalent of vegans. </div></div>I don't own a larue gun or have one on order. However, every experience I have had with them has been positive and I do have a number of Larue mounts.

However, I would buy a PredatOBR in an instant. Resale is fantastic and there is a good market for them, meaning when I got tired of it, like I do with most guns, I could get most if not all of my money back out of it. Therefore, it is in my opinion a good buy, unlike a home brew AR, which don't bring SHIT on the secondary market.

Back to the original point though- I am tired of the "go suck each others dick on ARF" shit that comes out every time someone posts about Larue. No one says that about KAC and certainly not about GAP, or in the bolt gun world about AI, Barrett, etc. just Larue.

and this is a discussion board, meanings it has little value if people are only interested in slamming a particular brand because of some personal shit that happened over two years ago. But by all means, do what you feel is right, that's how it works at a place like this, and I wouldn't want it any other way. But that includes me calling out douchbaggery when I see it, and mindless Larue owner slamming is douche behavior, in my opinion.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

I would love to own that Chris Costa rifle and i put a pen to it and to be honest it was only a few hundred dollars more then if i built one to spec that I would bank my or my families life on. Can you build a 700 AR sure would i want it for a Duty rifle No thanks.

Anytime you get a Signature of anything whether it be a rifle a motorcycle , Car. I know for a fact you are going to be paying extra for it. I was really close to buying the OBR it is a damn nice rifle if it didn't have that 20 moa built into the rail i prob would have got one . I have also had nothing but great Customer Service from LaRue. JP that i worked with on a few orders was very nice and even called me on his own to see how i liked the product i can't say any other company i have ever bought from has done that.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

A few numbers stats too for those interested:

Larue Costa PredatOBR: $2895
Larue PredatOBR: $2295
Noveske Recon Switchblock: $2695
KAC SR-15E3 IWS Mod 1: $2207.50

KAC doesn't have an available switchblock option, only has an a2 flash hider, Noveske costs more to upgrade to a Surefire brake, and neither of them are available in a tan, which is actually somewhat pricey to get done professionally.

No one on here tells the guy asking questions about the Noveske to suck someone's cock though.

Edit- I also guarantee Larue takes better care of the customer as well.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

I have absolutely no dog in this fight. It IS funny though to see comments about a rifle that's 2,900 when this place is full of love for the LMT MWS. Isn't that right around 3k for anything but the CL barrel? BTW, the CL barrels are looking about 2700 over on GB although I know a lot of owners didn't pay that much.

If you said it was 4k in a world full of 2.5 - 3k .308 AR rifles, I'd understand. Do their rails suck too? Do they come with hats, bottle openers, and dry rub too?
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

I got my LMT MWS for 2299 shipped with a 16 in CL. l don't understand how some people are trying to sell the same set up for 2900.00 that is crazy. you can take the barrel off sell it for 375 as new and buy the SS what ever lenght for 600ish and be into it for 2500 if you do it right.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

The costa edition is a 223 fwiw.....not a 308.


It's a 3,000 ar15 that promises nothing over and above an average ar. If your a fan and want one that's cool. People pay extra for sports jerseys too.....

It's ok poison123. Were you parents cool with it when you told them?

All they can say is Mark is a douche followed by some gay reference. I don't know Mark and I couldn't care less. They think if you don't talk shit about larue then you must be a fanboy. What a joke. They can't give any real criticism on his rifles. As for the price, who cares kac, jp, gap, lmt, they are all around 3k and it's not your money. I personally think they are all nice. It all depends on what you want to use it for. I have a hard time thinking someone will spend 5k on a 1911, but I'm not going to ridicule them if they do.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

I'm not a LaRue hater; I own many of their mounts and think their products are of good quality. My issues is the people who buy these will never use them in a combat situation in which they are supposedly designed for. For $3k I would rather have a hand fitted rifle by a top AR gunsmith such as Derrick Martin, not a production rifle.

Do these come with a TapOut shirt?

Why would these come with tap out shirts? You say you own many of these mounts yet your issue is with people who own these mounts and don't use them in combat situations. How do you use these mounts? As for who you would make your ar, who cares? I don't care how you spend your money. That's the whole point, the OP wants to know when the next predatobr's are coming out.

Combat? That's what they were designed for? That's all they were designed for? What a dumb argument. You sound like the gun grabbers that try to define which guns have "sporting purposes" and which ones do not. Let me decide how and where I'll spend my money.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

Buy what YOU want, not what someone else tells you to go get. If you want the Costa edition, by all means go get the rifle. To everyone else that wants to hate on someone buying gear, piss off. It is not your money.

Is Mark LaRue an abrasive personality and often gets himself in the shit by running his mouth to much? Sure.

Does he make decent mounts? Sure. Is his shit over priced to cover the loss he takes with all the "free" shit he includes in your box? YES!

The Costa rifle is nice and for a 14.5" AR its pretty damn accurate. I handled one that belongs to a friend. Let the OP get what he wants without you all ridiculing him on brand names.

Sorry for my confusion. I only threw in my .02 because the OP's question got so off track. At 3k for a .223 yeah, that's pricey. That's over Les Baer Super Varmint price I believe. Personally, I wouldn't/couldn't spend that.

When I looked up this model, Google kicked back a result from arfcom for one for sale, at 3600. And it sold. It did say it had a .517 test target fwiw.

It looks like anything else for sale to me. If you aren't in a hurry to sell it and you put it out there and it takes a while to sell then maybe you're a little high. When you're desperate for cash you tend to take less.

At least LT didn't get bailed out by the feds and then have a bunch of dealers mark up the price. Price a Chevy Camaro in 2009 by any chance?
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

This thread is funny.......


I have a bunch of larue mounts, a few handguards and a stealth upper. I am a fan of their stuff. I have also had a few problems in ordering and the like and i got great customer service. Having said all that, i am not a devotee or a fanboy...... And i dont own either a tap out or larue shirt......

But seriously..... Are we even having a conversation about 'overspending'.......lol
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

I could give two shits. I do not own a single LaRue product. However, people coming here talking about "over priced" shit is really funny. I Just dropped close to $4k for a single fucking scope. Yes i am sure its the tits, but is it 4x better than a $1000 scope? I bet not. Nobody is in the position to tell the next person that something "...is not worth it." What something is worth is a very personal decision.


I believe the Lexus LFA at $400k is a waste of money, but plenty of people think other wise and have been sold out. I wear a $35k watch that doesnt tell time better than any $200 Seiko watch but i have it because i can and i want to. This goes for anything. I have shot Costa's personal OBR 308 and though it was a wonderful AR. The standard OBR is $~$2300 and for an extra $500-600 you get the FDE, SureFire muzzle brake and some other goodies that really doesnt make it too crazy for a signature type rifle. I personally believe an SR25 at $5k is significantly more fucking over priced than an OBR at any of their prices but i dont go around shitting in peoples thread.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

The anti Larue sentiment on the snipershide comes from Mark Larues behavior years ago. He made numerous posts that IMHO made him look like a total clown. Personally, I (and many others on here) will never purchase another Larue product based on his actions on snipershide.

Your mileage may very of course.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

Everybody understands where it comes from. No reason to give somebody who buys one a hard time.
 
Re: LaRue Costa ETA

The name Larue brings out the crazies. THe guy asked a questions about a rifle shipping time and people start arguing. It's not funny as it's sad and makes me not like the site as much, usually i just go to another thread but it goes on so much I figured I would post. OP, if thats the rifle you want......get it. I sure hope you enjoy it. Spending money like that you should get a very good quality AR. I bet it will serve you nicely. As far as time, I wouldn't have the first clue but I hope a call to the shop would get you the answer you seek. If I have any LaRue questions I certainly won't be bringing them here to start a war. Some af y'all are like the lil school girls on facebook.

For the OP, spend them big bucks if you want with Team Laroo but be aware you can build one just as good, if not better for much less. Standard one color coatings such as Duracoat are reasonable also..

It's an Internet forum... it's not like he came to your house and slapped your kid. If he personally attacked you, I could understand where the bad blood would be... however, the majority of people here just want to ride the " Larue hate train" for some kitty cat bullshit.
