Been waiting years for the LaRue Siete that was set to be a 10” .308 barrel and 20” 6.5 Creedmoor combo gun for $1500. What is actually being put to market is 23” 6.5 Creedmoor and a second barrel in your choice of .308, .260 Remington, 22-250, or .243 Winchester for nearly double the price of what we were initially introduced to. Seems to incorporate their rail/handguard system unlike the initial concept which is likely where the added cost comes in along with the 2nd rifle length barrel. I was super excited for the 10” configuration. I wonder if they ditched the initial idea because of the soon to be new pistol brace rules. https://www.larue.com/products/larue-siete/ Now, I am not super excited. I have been holding off on getting another bolt gun in anticipation of this.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Black92LX, ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

The Siete in its current configuration is interesting. The ease of switching barrels is impressive. Given LaRue's history, I suspect accuracy will be good enough for the vast majority of shooters. I think it's short sighted for Larue to offer 6.5 Creedmoor and 250 Remy barrels, but to only offer 243 Win and not 6 Creedmoor. For precision shooters, the Creedmoor chambering are significantly better in handling modern high-BC bullets. I get why LaRue dropped the 10" barrels. They make no sense for cartridges with the case capacity of a 308. If I didn't have my current Defiance-based bolt action rifles, the Siete would be worth comparing to other manufacturer's options. | |||

Spoke with the fine folks at LaRue yesterday. The original idea we were introduced to will not be happening. Just how it is on the website currently. I am super bummed about that. Was wanting a reasonably priced .308 or maybe 6.5 chassis gun. Mostly used to 300 and 500 yards. I guess I’ll be seeing what else is out there. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.
