Has anyone had any experiene with this rifle?  Is it worth the $1000 price tag?  Any other info would be appreciated.  Thanks.

00,
where did you hear the $1000 price and what caliber are you asking about ??

Sorry!  The Armalite website retails the rifle for just above a grand I believe.  I'm interested in .308 but any info on another caliber would do as well.  Thanks again.

I think the initial ones will be .338 Lapua, with .308 to follow at a later date.  How much later, I don't know.

00,
the AR-30 in .338 Laupa has begun to ship.
The .300 WinMag is next in line with the .308 coming later this fall.

Still too early to give you a report but I'll admit to having an AR-30 in .300 WinMag on order !!!


(00, the word is this puppy is a SHOOTER !)

If it's even halfway as decent as the AR-50, it'll be worth a look and possible purchase (as long as they keep it less than $1500).

RM,
same design process.  I believe he .338 Laupa even uses the '50 brake.  The price is under $1500.  (I 'believe' the $1500 will get you the scope mount also but I'll check to be sure.  And will return later with the answer.)

The 'introductory' price on the AR-30 in .338, .300 and .308 is $1180.00.  The scope base (Weaver rail) introductory price is $70.00.
That makes the AR-30 initially come in at $1250.00.
Then just add the mount and scope of your choice.

Estimated shipping dates:

AR-30 .338 Laupa - Shipments have just begun with increased shipments due in September.

AR-30 .300 WinMag - Shipments to begin in October

AR-30 .308 - No estimated ship date as yet.

(Took me longer than I thought to run down the info and that's why I'm tardy !)

CORRECTION:  The brake on the .338 Laupa is the same 'design' as that of the .50 cal but has been scaled down in size to match the AR-30 .338.

I saw one of them at Perry a few weeks ago.  Looked great.  I really wish I'd picked it up and messed with it some.  Serious drool factor.  The more I think about the damn thing the more I want one.

I'm guessing this was the .338 Laupa ??

Did you happen to see the rifle being fired ??

btt one time to see if "00" is checking his post.
