THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT LaRue Tactical Costa-Edition 5.56 Rifle Limited numbers 001-125 (of 500) The quest for a perfectly-balanced and reliable 5.56 rifle led Chris Costa to LaRue Tactical for a custom "signature series” rifle to bear his name. Costa requested the best of both worlds; the popular and lightweight PredatAR chassis, combined with the accuracy and reliability of an OBR 5.56 barrel. LaRue brought these elements together and provided it with a 14.5” barrel that is pinned and welded with a SureFire Muzzle Brake. A LaRue Tactical first, The entire frame is finished in FDE, KG GunKote with the "COSTA LUDUS” logo engraved on the left side of the receiver. Black parts and rail covers provide dramatic contrast. The first 500 units will be match-numbered on the upper and lower. Rifles will ship within one business week (providing we have a proper FFL to ship to). NOTE: Your credit card will be charged at the time of the order. Ships within 1 business week.  |

I'm in more of a DPMS price range with my current salary
 
Maybe Costa will do some sort of Willy Wonka/Charlie Bucket give away for my sad, poor ass. |

Nice rifle. Very nice rifle. No matter what, could never justify spending $2,895 just on a rifle without optics of any sort. Kinda of like spend $60,000 on a Lexus when I could by a Toyota for $25,000. Now if the Beard wanted to give me one, you would here no complaints from me.

It's a nice gun, but not $3,000 nice. |

Don't care if Chuck Norris endorsed it, $3000 is to much. This comes from a guy who thinks paying $1000 for a user Colt is too much. I'll stick with Spikes and CMMG, I think they are great products especailly for the price. Now they don't look as cool as this rifle, but I like to shoot and abuse my guns. Maybe it's just the Marine in me.

Lesser dealers and/or manufacturers would just say "fuck it, I don't want to deal with this shit". Major Kudos to LaRue for making the effort. |

I would sure be disappointed if ML were that way, 'cuz he has all the good shit! |
