Talk to your towns PD. They have 4 for sniper systems. They shoot like most gassers.

 

Had the OBR in 7.62. Went head to head against h&k, scar and POF. Accuracy went to the H&K. Reliability went to the scar mainly because of their attention to making a solid metal magazine. POF and Larue were pretty close to each other. Larue has a great fit and finish. Customer support is top notch. They make some fine firearms. The best grouping we could get from 4 different ammo manufacturers was .75 inches on the Larue. To rule out some possible changing variables we used the same scope on each rifle, same ammo from same batch runs and all on the same day. We used two different shooters for each ten shot run.

H&K is an expensive option and you can not get a 20" upper, FN less expensive by almost half and likewise no chance to get a 20" upper. Larue fell right between these two for accuracy and reliability. Coincidentally it is also a several hundred dollars less than the H&K.

Magazines for the FN and H&K are proprietary and cost around $40 (fn) and $80 (HK). Larue and the POF take Pmags at about $20 each.

I sold the Larue and the POF. The Larue did not produce the accuracy I wanted and it was a 20" upper. The POF did a little better, but they were developing and had just released the gen 4 of their line. Since mine was the gen 3 I let it go as well.

They are all good rifles. The cost and availability of accessories will play a role in your decision to be sure. If I could get a 20" upper for the H$K it would be my preferred rifle even with the outrageous magazine expense. Ahh but if wishes were horses, dreamers would ride. Hope that helped some.

 

I have one and love it - so much so that I bought one in 556. Beauty of the system is that it breaks down and can trade out barrels - "sparrels" are now for sale for different length options and new calibers are coming for both systems.

As a disclaimer I am a big Larue fan. They have THE best customer service in the industry and I have never been disappointed. Many people tell you they are just overpriced ARs - personally I disagree. Having own many ARs, I have since sold all ARs (except my first for sentimental reasons) and now own mostly Larues in that platform. When people treat me right I tend to stick with them.

 

A Larue 7.62 was the first gas gun to win the International Sniper Comp at Ft. Benning. A 16" barreled 7.62 Larue semi-auto out performed all the bolt guns at that comp.

As mentioned earlier, the H&K is a primo piece of equipment, but is pricey.

 

True. My 18" 762 OBR will make one ragged hole all day. Great guns - can't say enough good things. You will not be disappointed.

Of note - larue also makes their own magazines. 2 ship with their 762 rifles.

I had a Larue in 5.56 for a few months. It did well. Guns are like cars, you never know what you are going get.

 

I too have been considering getting a LaRue 7.62.

Though, based on research conducted I am leaning toward a JP LRP-07.

Anyone have experience with JP rifles (or perspective on how the LaRue and JP rifles compare)?

 

I have owned the JP LRP-07 and many POFs, as well as shooting the Larue quite often. I really do like the POF and its been the most reliable and mine are 1/2-3/4 moa. Pretty much the same accuracy as the Larue and JP.

If I was putting my $$$ towards it I would go with a GAP-10.
