Very accurate
Well built
Heavy AF
M-lok only on 3/6/9 position
13” handguard on a 16” barrel - weird aesthetic
Cost prohibitive!!!!
I bought this upper from Larue website, at the time they were only about $800 and have since gone up in price. It is very accurate, but how far are you shooting and what is your acceptable performance. Having bought a 14.5’’ BCM upper, that is much lighter, for the same $800 price point. The BCM is just as accurate within 400 yards and much lighter.
Larue does not advertise if it is a CHF barrel or not, while the BCM does come with CHF barrel.
If you are consistently stretching out your glass and pushing effective range of a 556 while not doing a lot of movement, this is a great option. Congrats you are a 556 sniper.
If you are doing dynamic shooting or carrying your weapon over distance and time, there are other options to consider.
