LaRue Siete (7) - New Bolt Rifle

[Oso]

I just received an email from LaRue Siete, new bolt action rifle that was introduced at Shot Shot. It's a switch barrel in their aluminum chassis using a rem 700 style action (action & chassis both made in-house by LaRue), Timney trigger and uses AIC mags. The chassis features a rear adapter for AR style stocks and comes with a folding pistol stock with what looked like a Tail Hook. If that weren't enough it comes with two barrels: (1) 10" short barrel chambered in .308 (geared toward subsonic ammo) and (2) 20" barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Quoted price of $1500 for everything.

That's a great price for a full setup. Hard not to see how it performs before buying the next rifle.

Its a nice concept rifle that hits all of the points of interest for several different user groups (PRS, tactical, hunting). My experience with LaRue is they put their well earned reputation behind everything they build. If I were in the market for a chassis style rifle with a average budget then this rifle has to jump to the top of my list over anything being offered by the major manufacturers.

I'll stick to my 300BO for subsonics, but if you don't want two separate rifles then downloading a .308 is workable.

Wondering what twist the 308 is? You get a heavy bullet down subsonic and it's hard to stabilize unless it's pretty short. I like that rig....
