Posted Jun 15, 2023

Introduction

The LaRue Tactical LT-15 is the latest in LaRue Tactical’s line of premium quality gun systems. The LT-15 is a semi-automatic rifle that is capable of both 3-gun competitions as well as hunting. With its customizable features, its adjustable stock and its standard muzzle brake, the LT-15 is the perfect weapon for all types of shooters. Whether you are a novice or an experienced shooter, the LT-15 is the gun of choice to meet all your needs.

The LT-15 has been getting a lot of attention lately in the firearms community for its great features, and its affordability. Boasting a one piece billet machined aluminum upper receiver, and built with top-notch parts throughout, LaRue’s LT-15 is looking to be one of the best options for a good quality AR platform rifle, in terms of both quality and performance.

Design

The LT-15 has many design features that set it apart from other AR platform rifles. The upper receiver is made from one piece billet machined aluminum, with the lower receiver being a polymer composite. This lends itself to great durability and strength, as well as accuracy. The upper receiver also features a standard M4-style feed ramp and dust cover.

The LT-15 is also ambidextrous, with a reversible charging handle and selector lever. The LT-15 also comes in three different barrel profiles: M4, Heavy, and Light weight. This allows shooters to pick the barrel profile that best suits their shooting style and needs.

The LT-15 comes with a standard-length, mil-spec chrome lined barrel. The barrel length gives shooters the option of using all different types of muzzle devices, from squirrel and crow suppressors to flash hiders and muzzle brakes. The LT-15 also includes a standard A2 flash hider.

The stock on the LT-15 is adjustable, which is a huge plus. This allows shooters to extend the stock from its standard position for closer shooting distances, or to retract it for further distances. This makes shooting more comfortable and more accurate. The butt pad is also adjustable, allowing shooters to add height or angles as needed. The butt pad also comes with a recoil pad for more comfort when shooting.

The LT-15 also comes with a muzzle brake. The brake helps with reducing recoil, which is a great feature for novice shooters. The muzzle brake also helps with reducing muzzle climb, which is an essential feature for 3-gun competitions.

Performance

Although the LaRue Tactical LT-15 is advertised as a 3-gun competition weapon, it performs just as well as a conventional hunting rifle. The LT-15 has excellent accuracy, and is capable of shooting moa groups, which is more than enough for taking down game. The muzzle brake also helps to minimize muzzle climb, which is essential when hunting. The adjustable stock and adjustable buttpad also make for great ergonomics, allowing shooters to fit the gun perfectly to their body.

The LT-15’s barrel length and profile give it a good reputation in terms of accuracy, and with the chrome lining of the barrel it is an excellent choice for anyone who plans to use ammunition with higher velocity.

The adjustable stock and muzzle brake also make the LT-15 a great choice for 3-gun competitions. The adjustable stock allows for better gun fit and better ergonomics when shooting from different positions. The muzzle brake also helps with reducing muzzle climb and recoil, making follow up shots much easier.

Price

While most AR-style rifles are priced around or over $1,000, the LaRue Tactical LT-15 is priced well below that. The price of the LT-15 makes it an ideal choice for anyone on a budget, as well as those who are just starting out in 3-gun or hunting.

Conclusion

The LaRue Tactical LT-15 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an AR style rifle. It is well made, will last a long time, and is considerably more affordable than its competition. The adjustable stock and muzzle brake make the LT-15 a great choice for both hunting and 3-gun competitions, and its accuracy and quality make it a great choice for experienced shooters as well.

In conclusion, the LaRue Tactical LT-15 is a great option in terms of quality, performance, and affordability. If you are looking for an AR platform rifle, the LT-15 is worth considering.
