The Rock River Arms LAR-BT3 Varmint delivers precision shooting capabilities with its heavy-profile stainless steel barrel and match-grade components. This 308 Winchester platform combines accuracy-focused engineering with tactical versatility for demanding applications.
What Makes This Different
The 20-inch stainless steel bull barrel provides exceptional heat dissipation and consistent accuracy compared to standard profile barrels. Rock River's billet receiver construction eliminates the dimensional variations found in forged alternatives, creating a more precise platform. The 17-inch M-LOK handguard extends nearly to the muzzle, maximizing accessory mounting options while maintaining barrel rigidity.
