LaRue Chris Costa Edition OBR Rifle

via The Firearm Blog by Steve (The Firearm Blog) on 7/26/12

Chris Costa has partnered with LaRue Tactical to produce the LaRue Chris Costa Edition OBR Rifle. The rifle is engraved with Chris' COSTA LUDUS trident/net logo and is finished with KG Gun Kote's Flat Dark Earth. Other than the price, $2750 (about $500 more than standard LaRue PredatOBR and OBR rifles), there is nothing not to like about this rifle.

Shown with optional accessories.

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.
