    LMT .308 MWS

    18" SS with NXS 2.5-10x. But with my old eyes I plan to give one of the Bushnell G2DMR's in a LaRue LT-120 mount a try shortly.

    LRP-07 w/ Bushnell HDMR H59 reticle impressions

    Very nice shooting. Thank you for the review of the scope and the reticle I'm thinking of picking one of the HDMR's up as well.

    Rifle Scopes INFO on New GAP/Bushnell Hunting Scope

    I'd love to see this reticle in the HDMR. Or upgrade the HDMR line with the same new features/reticle and keep the 3-21x for target/weapon ID.

    Picked up my Larue 18" .308 PredatOBR today

    Wes, The grip pieces were black and I installed the OD green ones out of pure vanity. A ratchet wrench with the "scope ring" torx bit made short work of it. I tore it down and put it back together about 5 times. The rifle in the LaRue video is definitely more broken in. This new rifle...

    Picked up my Larue 18" .308 PredatOBR today

    18" tOBR arrived today. I will try out some FGMM 175's, Hornady 168 A-Max, and a 175 SMK handload tomorrow. Outstanding balance compared to my 18" LMT MWS. I don't have a scale but it feels like they weigh roughly the same however the LaRue tOBR just handles like a carbine. I wanted to pout...

    LMT MWS 308 today at the range.

    Wow, I may have to put the 175's aside for a bit and try some of that factory 150 ammo.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce new product development

    A lot of folks are talking about the desire for FFP NXS scopes. I had the 3.5-15x F1 mil/mil with the new MLR2.0 reticle. While it was a great scope I found that I when I powered down below 10x I didn't use the subtentions and was pretty much shooting for center mass on movers. When I dialed...

    LMT MWS....UBR vs. PRS

    I've used the PRS a lot and although it has the adjustable comb, you have to put the butt pad pretty far to the rear so that your cheek bone actually rests on the 308 version. That means you wind up moving the scope rearward for proper eye relief which can make the area around your charging...

    LMT MWS 20inch CL

    I put in one of Slash's heavy buffer/spring combinations with an A2 stock. The brass isn't getting the snot beat out of it and the recoil impulse is nice and smooth.

    LMT MWS 20inch CL

    Also, the gas port is much further forward on the 20"/18" barrels than the 16" (which is under the hand guard). You may be able to chop the 20" to 18" but probably not 16". DSGarms has some LMT MWS barrels in stock. Or, just get on their list for the exact barrel you're looking for and sell...

    ATTENTION LMT MRP Owners New Source Barrels, Possibly MWS Barrels in the Future

    I'm shooting 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Berger hybrids seated to just under mag length for the AI mags in my R700. I don't have my notes I front of me for actual length. With a 24" 1/8.5 twist I have great results and push them comfortably at 2890. I believe cutting the barrel length but increasing the...

    ATTENTION LMT MRP Owners New Source Barrels, Possibly MWS Barrels in the Future

    Ok my LMT MWS brothers, curb your enthusiasm... I found the thread and it seems they are referring to the 223/556 platform not the big brother that takes the 308 profile magazines and barrel. However, perhaps we could persuade them to start looking into the large platform as well? Precision...

    LMT MWS/SR25 variants

    Just found this article. It answers your questions. JP Silent Capture in an LMT .308 (Longer tube buffer modification) and review LMT308MWS | Know AR 10 From the article: What I didn’t know is that the buffer has to be modified to fit LMTs. Their Stock looks like a carbine stock, but...

    LMT MWS/SR25 variants

    I have not tried the JP captured spring in my LMT but I see that DSG carries the spring as well as buffer tubes. I suppose you could just order a tube with it and keep your LMT parts aside for another build/sale? If I had not recently purchased one of Slash's heavy buffer combos I'd being...

    Mk12 not up to par

    I'm using the Nosler 77's with 24.0 of Varget (2700fps) in a 1/7.7 Wilde chamber Krieger and it is .5 MOA at 100. Try some Varget and see if the groups change.

    The Case of the PredatAR **please help**

    Shooting the 556 vs the 308 is the difference between a garden hose and a fire hose. The 308 semi auto is a different animal completely.

    LaRue OBR 7.62

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. The OBRs that I've spent time behind we're nice shooting rifles, I hope they can get the lighter barrel issue worked out.

    LaRue OBR 7.62

    Just trying to remember what I read in Litz's new book, but I believe he defined accuracy and precision as separate functions. As in a rifle may shoot very tight groups as a measure of precision, but it does not center the groups and therefor is not accurate. By using these definitions it does...
