20130117_145115New for 2013, the LaRue Tactical in 7.62 is notable for it’s QD (quick-detachable) handguard. LaRue claims that after the rifle is reassembled that it will shoot a grouping within .25 MOA of the prior one before disassembly. The QD handguard feature is useful if you need to swap a barrel out quickly when you’re out in the field with limited tools.

The QD handguard switch allows the user to simply use their fingers to unlock two latches, one on each side.
Once the latches are open the handguard quickly slides off. A barrel change then requires a special wrench.

The entire rifle can be broken down and put into a 17″ long case. Barrels come in 14.5″, 16″, and 18″ lengths. In addition to 7.62, the PredatOBR is available for pre-order in 5.56. There is currently about a 1-year waitlist.
