Features that matter in the field

Chassis, ergonomics, and controls

The Operator Carbine Stock paired with a Hogue grip gives the shooter a stable, repeatable platform that reduces felt movement during follow-up shots. The two-stage trigger improves crisp initial take-up and smooth break — a critical advantage when pursuing 1 MOA groups at extended ranges. The winter trigger guard ensures consistent access while wearing gloves.

Barrel, gas system, and muzzle device

The 18-inch fluted barrel balances weight and velocity while the low-profile gas block and free-float rail separate the gas system and handguard for improved thermal stability. The Hunter muzzle brake reduces recoil impulse and muzzle rise, speeding target re-acquisition for practical follow-up shots.

Ready for optics and transport

The X-1 is optic-ready from the factory and ships in a Rock River Arms case with one magazine — exactly the kit many operators and competition shooters want. The free-float rail accepts a range of mounting hardware and accessory configurations without intrusion on barrel harmonics.

Price-wise, the ROCK RIVER ARMS LAR-8 X-1 is listed at $1,529.99, offering a factory-built, precision-oriented semi-auto solution that minimizes the need for aftermarket upgrades. View product details and pricing to confirm current stock and specifications.
