Whatever happened to that fellow? I still remember my response to him! Something along the lines of, “LWRC makes a fine rifle, but they are far from precision rifles, and they committed a super doo doo by using CF barrels on their newest REPR models.”
OP - as a guy who’s been shooting precision gassers for many years, let me save you a shit load of analysis paralysis, second guessing and let’s skip to, “Buy once, cry once” solutions: You either contact @bigjake83 or JP (if you’re wanting 100% factory build). Is it gonna be more than 2g’s? Does Howdy Doody have wooden balls? However, you’ll end up being much more confident than you would with anything else.
I love Seekins products just as well. Those folks build hammers. Unfortunately, their hammers don’t charge from the side. Generally speaking, precision rifle shooters are running pretty good optics. Pretty good optics, nowadays, come in larger packages. Running the larger optics is where the side chargers shine. The LRP/LRI uppers are life changing in this regard.
In terms of timing, I’d say that right now is the absolute best time to purchase most any firearm. Many prices appear to be lower now than when Trump was at his peak as POTUS. As much as I loathe gunporker, I’d be vigilant on their site, as well as the classified here on the Hide. Shit, you may even put up a “WTB” ad on here. You never know who is out in the world and that they’ve been kicking around the idea of selling their JP. They see your ad, and it sends them over the “fuck it” ledge.
