We can add LaRue Tactical to the AR list

[nickatnite]

Let's add them to the list of good guys...

Well,
I noticed that LaRue Tactical went up on their AR's, especially the 16 Inch LaRue Tactical PredatAR 5.56

Sept 2011, the gun was 1500 bucks and now they are selling them for just under 1700 bucks.

Those bastards!!! I cannot believe that they would actually raise their cost 200 bucks over the last 2 years...

What is this world coming to?

Mark LaRue is an asshat and I won't ever consider him "one of the good guys". Yes, I do own a couple of mounts from his company, but it's with shame and only because they are indeed good products and I won't let my personal disgust for the PERSON prevent me from picking the best tool for my usage.

The nerve................LOL

May I inquire as to exactly why you consider Mr. LaRue to be an "asshat"?

You could ask most of the firearms industry and get an answer...

Hard to beat their products, though. And their bundle prices-- I still don't see how they manage them so cheap.

That's the OBR. The predatAR is $1682. I think I read somewhere about the increase quite some time ago.

OK, I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I would REALLY like to know what gives folks heartburn about the guy...

He and I have nothing good to say to each other. I think he's a dick for insulting me, my family, and anyone else who has had a problem with his gear or business practices. He can insult me all he wants, but dragging family into it is just childish. The man's an asshat and a troll, and that's my experience.

Mainly, its him that starts ****. Have you actually seen how he behaves?!

Have never seen him do something like that. Where did this happen?

He hurt your feelings on the Internet six months ago and you're still upset about it?

Am I understanding this right?

Be fair, we all hold grudges.

No, my feelings are fine. I just don't think anything of him. Why should I? It's not even about my discussion with him, its how he treats his customers in general when things go wrong, and a pattern of contempt for his own customer base emerges.
