Larue Tactical Siete .308 Win 20-inch Sporter, 5+1
About this product
What is the Larue Tactical Siete .308 Win 20-inch Sporter? It's a bolt-action precision rifle chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO with a 20-inch sporter barrel and 5+1 capacity magazine configuration. This rifle combines LaRue's precision machining with KRG's ergonomic stock design and Timney's renowned trigger system. Built for hunters and precision shooters who demand consistent performance without unnecessary weight or complexity.
What is the Larue Tactical Siete used for?
The Siete is designed for medium-range hunting and precision target shooting out to 800 yards. Its 20-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for .308 Winchester while maintaining maneuverability in field conditions. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 150 to 180 grains effectively, making it versatile for deer hunting and medium-range competition work.
How does the Larue Tactical Siete compare to the Stevens 334?
The Siete outperforms the Stevens 334 in trigger quality and stock stability, though it costs $1,000 more. Where the Stevens uses a basic synthetic stock and factory trigger, the Siete features a KRG Bravo chassis with adjustable cheek riser and a Timney trigger breaking at 2.5 pounds. For serious precision work, the Siete's components justify the premium, but the Stevens remains adequate for entry-level hunting.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Siete weighs 8.3 pounds unloaded and measures 40.875 inches overall with its 20-inch barrel. This puts it 1.2 pounds heavier than the Stevens 334 but provides better balance for off-hand shooting. The KRG Bravo stock adds 0.5 pounds over traditional synthetic stocks but delivers superior stability for precision work.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious buyers or those needing high-capacity magazines. At $2,249.99, it costs more than twice many entry-level .308 rifles like the Stevens 334. The 5+1 capacity limits tactical applications, and the 20-inch barrel sacrifices some velocity compared to 24-inch precision barrels.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with KRG Bravo stock, one 5-round AICS pattern magazine, and thread protector. LaRue includes no optic mounts or sling attachments, requiring additional $150-300 in accessories for field use. The rifle ships in a basic cardboard box with minimal padding—invest in a proper hard case for transport.
Is the Larue Tactical Siete worth it at $2249.99?
Yes, if you need sub-MOA accuracy without custom gunsmithing. The Timney trigger and KRG stock alone would cost $600 aftermarket, making the complete package reasonably priced for its components. For hunters who already own optics and accessories, this rifle delivers precision performance that cheaper options like the Stevens 334 cannot match.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, the Siete uses standard AICS pattern magazines. The included magazine holds 5 rounds, but 10-round versions from Magpul or Accuracy International work perfectly. Expect to pay $40-60 for additional magazines from quality manufacturers.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 40.875-inch length requires a 42-inch case minimum. Plano All-Weather cases work well, but avoid compact 36-inch cases meant for AR-platform rifles. Allow 2-3 inches additional clearance for optics and muzzle devices.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship via FedEx 2-Day Air with adult signature required. Processing takes 2-3 business days before shipment, so total delivery typically runs 5-7 days from order confirmation. Expedited options add $75 for next-day delivery.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL. We allow 30-day returns for manufacturing defects only. All returns require inspection by our certified armorers before approval—process typically takes 10-14 days from receipt.
- Does this work with suppressor mounts?
- The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts most .30 caliber suppressors. Direct-thread models like Dead Air Nomad-L work immediately, while QD systems require compatible muzzle devices. Plan $100-250 for a quality muzzle brake or flash hider.
