My Larue 6.5 ultimate upper project

[Richard Walter]

I have posted a dozen pictures of my vintage German sniper rifles on another thread. Those are just for collecting. This is one of my shooters. A LaRue Ultimate upper/ lower kit I built this past December. It’s all LaRue save the buttstock and sundry bits that make it southpaw friendly. Topped with the Nightforce 7-35 glass. It is currently awaiting the suppressor somewhere around June. 6.5 CM. It is a thing of beauty.

How's your rifle been shooting Richard? I also bought a 6.5cm Ultimate Upper a couple of months ago. Haven't been able to shoot it because I currently live in Massachusetts and therefore can't purchase a new receiver to build my lower. Fortunately will be moving to Colorado (hopefully by the end of the year) and will then be able to build my lower. Haven't seen a lot of range reports on these (particularly in 6.5CM). Would love to know what kind of groups you have been getting and if the rifle has been running reliably.

I've been eying one of these as well as the Seekins SP10, this being much more affordable. Curious how well they shoot because reviews are sparse.

I have taken it to the range only once to sight in. I live in south Florida and have not found a range worthy of this set up. The only range available locally is but a hundred yards. I sighted using 147gr Hornady ELD rounds and easily produced sub MOA groups. I am planning on retiring at the end of this year and moving somewhere I can work my way out to 1000 yards. There was never an issue with the rifle. I have put fewer than 50 rounds through it, so time will tell. The scope is amazing !

Sub MOA for a gas gun works for me. Thanks for the info. Richard, even a prelim. range report is better than nothing.

Go north to Volusia County Gun Club. They hold LR matches every month.

Just go to a 100 or 200 yard range and shoot at tic/tacs or thumb tacks on a target board, it's a shame to keep a rifle like that pinned up when she wants to run
