It was unveiled at SHOT 2012, but has just recently started getting press. As with Pat Rogers' signature rifle, it's set up in a very specific way, that doesn't really do anything for me. Also, I don't see anything there to justify an extra $600 over a similarly-configured PredatOBR rifle, aside from the exclusivity factor (and the beard) which may appeal to some folks.

It should come with the Costa doll. (sorry, action figure)

You have to admit, The Costa's kevlar beard is pretty pimpin.

Wow! It was 91 at 9pm or so. I didn't think they would sell that fast.

 

[SMiller]

Cool weapon but the price is crazy! I would take a couple pimped out Colts for the money. Chris is the man though!

 

[IndySSD]

There are none remaining and I don't see a price anymore on that page... how much were they?

 

[Audie Murphy]

Went to the website and their was no more.Damn missed it.Probably all the magpul fan boys bought it all up.

 

[shooter521]

how much were they?

~$2800.

~$2800.

For that much money I would have felt like I was a-Costa-d.

$350,000 worth of rifles SOLD OUT in less than 2 hours. Whoda thunk it ?

I would have. The is a powerful drug.

I don't really understand the appeal of "signature" anything especially something as personal as a rifle. I want what works best for me and don't really care what works best for him...if they are the same fine.

Yeah, I would never spend that on an AR, but hey, the Mall Ninja Costa love children need their rifles.

The ad said they were selling the first 125. When I opened the email it was down to 110 (about the same time I posted it here). Looks like LaRue isn't hurting for business.

I don't see anything "mall ninja" about that rifle-- that's all really high quality stuff they've used. "Mall ninja" would be if it included an NCStar optic and chinese green laser. Just because you or I can't justify the price tag doesn't mean its a bad rifle.

I don't think he was talking about the rifle...

Lets face it, LaRue and Costa are two entities with among the biggest cult followings in all of shooting-dom. Not everyone in those cults is a hardcore, no-BS, lightspeed operator.
