Damn, reading that makes me want one

[ccasanova]

Anybody order one? The discount on the matching suppressor would have sealed the deal for me if I hadn't serviced my watch last week.

[ccasanova]

Somebody buy my scope and rifle, and I'll order one of these to test out for everyone.

I called today and this is their 4th of July sale according to Brandon who i spoke with.

[82HALO]

Lol! Let me guess...a Rolex! Been down that road!

[ccasanova]

Yes, inherited from grandfather who passed. It was worth it, but the timing sucks.

This rifle really is an ideal setup for my type of hunting. Might have to think about selling something else ha.

I'd think it should keep great time ;p

I like how he declares this "the year of the Grendel" hopefully this gets an unstoppable builder rolling.
I'd like to try one of their triggers those were a great deal with grip and housing setup as well. I hope they get more in. I'm winding down and wrapping up these six builds pretty soon. But that's one of the few things I'd like to buy. Like nova said the timing just wasn't in it for me..

[82HALO]

I have 3 of them, and they do keep impeccable time! But, need to be service to maintain it!

Looks like they are selling fast.

$399 for a suppressor upgrade is a killer deal. So is the LT-104 deal.

[BjornF16]

Are LaRue's barrels cut rifled or button rifled?

[Sandstorm]

Picked up a LT104 mount last week on sale, just couln't pass a deal like that.
I will have to pass on the nice ass rifle though.
My AA works just fine.

I thought it was weird they didn't make anything when I was on the market.

Perfection takes time

Bft and I have shot together more than a few times. Ask him who built his rifle years back. Larue., It's a very nice rifle--- AA quality .

Same stuff - get the best, at decent prices., from all the current Grrr rifle builders.

Maybe Bft can post a pic of his first Grrr. It is nice.

I did send rounds down range with it. We swapped same as ammo thru both our rifles - no issues at all..

sammi spec's are the key here. swap an upper to another at will.

[Swinestalker]

Been on my Howa mini action kick for awhile. Don't need anymore ARs. Now this! In FDE no less! May be more than I can bear.

I thought it was weird they didn't make anything when I was on the market.

After Mark made his 405yd shot on that bull elk up in Wyoming and sent out Christmas cards to LaRue customers about it, I thought for sure he would start making LaRue Stealth Grendels.

That was 10 years ago, so why the long wait?

The market was still ripe for making margins on a quality 7.62 NATO AR10-type rifle, which is what LaRue did with the OBR.

On the quality large frame guns, the margins are way higher than AR15s, especially if you make all the major components in-house, which is what LaRue did with the OBR.

Now that the market is flooded with cheap imitation AR10s selling for under $700 that are hit-and-miss reliability-wise, and flooded with $399 AR15s that will actually run for 500rds or more, it's hard to give away 5.56 guns in some cases.

We're seeing more variant cartridge AR15s becoming popular, to the point that 90% of AR15s are now being made in 5.56, whereas the variant chambering market is growing rapidly.

As a businessman, it makes sense now for LaRue to keep his premium AR15s competitive by finally offering the 6.5 Grendel chambering.

[Kilco]

The explosion of this cartridge in 16-17 has been amazing
More and more of my suppliers are now selling AA products, Odin Works, and many others. I'm also getting more and more customers every day coming in and asking me "what's a grendel?"

Now with Federal making a varmint, Hunting, match, and an American eagle OTM ammo, it's only going to get more popular.

I've been fighting the urge since these were announced and the fact that they are still available isn't helping. I almost broke down and ordered last night. Still fighting it today.
