    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    How was the upper/lower fit on the g2 recon ? Comparable to the mws ? I'm in the middle of importing one up north here right now. Kind of taking a leap of faith.

    Is the SS barrel worth the upgrade for LMT 308 MWS

    I think you're missing what I'm trying to say. You get some outstanding results with your cl as I have seen on your shoot out thread. I'm not saying you can't shoot to the same level with a cl as I can with a ss, I'm saying that you will shoot to a higher level with the ss vs the cl. As for...

    Is the SS barrel worth the upgrade for LMT 308 MWS

    It's pretty much impossible to make such a judgement without owning both. And doing the same load development for both, same shooter, same rest setup, same optics, etc. I will make this guarantee, if you're shooting well with the cl, you will shoot better yet with an ss. In my case, there was...

    Is the SS barrel worth the upgrade for LMT 308 MWS

    Some of the cl are shooters and some aren't. Mine does 1 moa, five round groups, but only with one specific handload. Everything else shoots as you describe. I have a friend with a newer 16" cl that seems to shoot better than mine and isn't as picky about ammo. I also have a 20" and an 18"...

    DPMS GII 308 rifles

    I've got a recon g2 on the way. It'll be interesting to see how the fit and finish compares to my mws... Hopefully the dpms g2 specific ar barrel nut is available for purchase soon, and the aftermarket makes some decent rails for the g2 eventually. I'd like a rail similar to a noveske nsr...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Yes, my 20" ss is a 1/2 moa barrel. My 16" cl is a 1 moa barrel. Those are averages derived from many 5 round groups, at distances from 100 to 700 yards.

    LMT .308 MWS

    2.822 is the longest I can get in my pmags. They are slightly notched from using several thousand rounds of 155 grain scenars. Sharp tips on those ! 32mm currently. I had a 50mm on there as well with the gg&g mount. Gives about 2-3mm clearance off the rail. There's no room for folding...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Yes ar10 for charging handle clearance. It's just a slightly shorter cheek riser. I used heavybuffers.com's spring and their heaviest buffer. Smooths things out quite a bit. The prs is nice for proned out shooting, but I eventually went back to a ubr stock, 18" ss barrel and a vortex 2.5x32...

    LMT .308 MWS

    The 18" ss is the only barrel that likes them. But it really likes them. 178 amax seated 2.82 oal in a lapua case. 42.8 grains of varget and br2 primers.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I've never been able to find a good load for 175 smk in either my 18" ss or 20" ss. Gave up after two years of trying. They both much prefer the amax's...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Just an interesting data point regarding the mws, different barrels and preferred projectiles. I've got a 18" ss, 20" ss and a 16"cl. All are sub moa, but only with their preferred projectile. 20" ss- 168 amax 18" ss- 178 amax 16" cl- 155 scenar The 18" and 20" ss really surprised me...

    Bullet performance question - Hornady A-Max 178 gr

    I run them in my mws with pmags all the time. Don't shoot as well as the 168 Amax in that application though.

    Anyone running a 2.5-10x32 Vortex on their AR's?

    Which pst ? The glass does look a bit better to me on the 32mm vs my 2.5-10 night force. The pst is slightly more picky on the eye box, but that's it. Everything else is comparable or better. The new 42mm night force 2.5-10 is a bit bulky for .223 ar's in my opinion.

    Anyone running a 2.5-10x32 Vortex on their AR's?

    It rocks ! Glass is much improved, my 44mm is like looking through a dirty bottle in comparison. Light, compact, good reticle, zero stops, illumination, etc., all at a price point significantly lower than all the competition. I'm no vortex fanboy, but they knocked it out of the park with this...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron FFP

    Tracks 100%. Glass is better than the 6-24 viper pst and the bushnell hdmr that I also have. Resolves much better. Love the mil hash reticle, the centre dot is nice and small and the lines aren't too chunky when cranked up in mag like the bushnell g2 in the hdmr. Downsides, no illumination and 5...

    LMT MWS 308 Muzzle Brake

    I've put several thousand rounds through both the battlecomp and the surefire on the mws. The surefire is much more effective in reducing recoil. Of course it's also louder.

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    That'd be quite optimistic and generous. I'd have kept mine for hunting if it could have achieved even 2 moa...

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    I'm speaking of fgmm in an xcr-m. It doesn't matter how high quality the oats are that you feed to a three legged horse, it's still not going to win any races... 168 fgmm is a solid 1moa average in my mws. It's decent stuff. It really likes 168 Amax over 44 grains of varget in a lapua case...

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    I think I may have mentioned that it was a common technique up here, hardly insisted. It was tried in everything from monopodding it on the mag to the usual bipod/rear bag to a full on ransom rest. The use of the mag for a rest stems from the fact that the barrel attachment method was designed...
