    LaRue kits

    No, you’re not sorry, and you act like you’re in junior high school. You resort to insults and foul language instead of intellect whenever someone disagrees with you on the forum. Speaking to people in a respectful manner is not sugar coating. People consistently put on kids gloves with you in...

    LaRue kits

    Jake, Some stuff I agree with here, though I think you’re prone to hyperbole in your efforts to balance the ‘fluff’ and fanboyism, with the end result being an anti-LaRue bias. Two points: the MOA all day challenge on ARFCOM is dominated by shooters using LaRue products, so there is definitely...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    My Grendel feels incredibly balanced, and maneuverable. It will be used a good portion of the time off of a bench. At 4oz heavier and 2" longer the Vortex was still not bad in terms of feel but those are not insignificant measurements and I think I will feel a significant difference. I want this...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I went through a similar effort for my Grendel. I was considering primarily the Vortex G2 3-15, and the Athlon Ares 2.5-15. I liked the EBR-2C reticle better and so chose the Vortex. I went to the range once and sold the Vortex as I felt it was more precision oriented than I was looking for for...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight ~3-15 power FFP/Mil scopes?

    I'm still going through a similar effort. Check out the Athlon Ares 2.5-15 (27.?oz), the Vortex gen 2 viper 3-15 (28.?oz), and the SWFA 3-15 (24oz). I bought the Vortex, but then sold it as it was a more precision oriented scope than I was after. (Reticle). I'm now saving for the Leupold Mark...

    Rifle Scopes Dissapointed in my Bushnell DMR2!!!

    Unfortunately that was on the old scout site and unless my search skills suck it's gone...they probably suck. Redo?

    Which 308 gasser should I buy? Accuracy is a big factor on my selection.

    I dig the look of the JP. Will own someday...

    Where to buy 6.5 grendel complete upper?

    This is complete horseshit:) Seriously though this was not my experience at all. I ordered the LaRue kit and the fit and function is outstanding and easily among the best I've experienced. The way the rail attaches to the upper receiver makes it feel like one solid piece. Upper to LaRue lower...

    Rifle Scopes any first impressions of the Athlon Ares BTR?

    Yes, I ordered the FFP version in the Vortex.

    Rifle Scopes any first impressions of the Athlon Ares BTR?

    This is the $64 question. I read as much as I could find about comparisons of these two scopes. About $200 separates them. I did put hands on the Vortex but not the Athlon, so ultimately I did not have all the info I needed before choosing one, and very nearly ordered the Athlon. For me it...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone have experience with a Mark 6 3-18x44 m5c2

    I'm looking for a scope for my 6.5 Grendel AR. I'm trying to keep it under 30oz, and have been looking at the Vortex Gen 2 3-15, and the Mark 6. I'd really appreciate any more thoughts you have on comparing these two. I know the Leupy is in a different class, but I'm trying to decide if it's...

    Larue 18" Stealth Barrel?

    Jake, it's not the 'exact same' barrel. As you stated earlier the barrel assemblies come with the pst gas block/tube which as you know can be used for suppressed and unsupressed fire with the flip of a switch. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) it uses two gas port holes. This system had to...

    Larue 18" Stealth Barrel?

    Not offended in the least, and you are the one who jumped confronationally into this thread. I was just relating my experience. Speaking of experience, have you shot an 18" LaRue Stealth next to an 18" rifle gas WOA barrel? How about shooting a Stealth barrel at all? Let's start with that...

    Larue 18" Stealth Barrel?

    I shot my mid gas 18" LaRue Stealth next to a WOA 18" with rifle length gas and felt exactly no difference. Both were very sweet recoiling rifles. YMMV.

    Larue 18" Stealth Barrel?

    I had a LaRue 18" Stealth. Loved it! Just replaced it with an 18" Stealth in 6.5 Grendel to fill the SPR role. I'm going with something shorter in 5.56. This group was initial ammo testing to see what it likes. It also liked 77gr FGMM really well. Buy with confidence. It was pretty consistently...

    Larue Upper Kits

    A new lower design is my guess as well. While I'm sure there were economic drivers for offering the package I think there is little chance that he will sell for $800 plus lower receiver what he's been selling for $2200+. My guess is the Stealth 2.0 package will represent an entry level LaRue...

    New - LaRue 6.5 Grendel Rifle

    I ordered the 6.5 Grendel kit and I am really impressed. The way the rail connects to the upper receiver makes it feel like a monolithic upper. It was noticeably more solid feeling than my last upper. I have really only had the chance to function test so far but I am looking forward to getting...
