    LMT .308 Modular Weapon System 18" Match Grade Barrel with 1:11 Twist

    I've had my 16" CL MWS barrel to 1k numerous times. No issues. I've been shooting between 2600' and 5200' elev. That being said, I did pick up a 20" for the added velocity. My 20" runs 175 FGMM at 2650fps.

    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    I've owned 6 Leupys. I'm down to 4 now. Two MK4's, a MK6 and a 3x9 w/duplex. Never an issue. Called CS once for some subtension data and was treated with respect and had the info I needed the same afternoon.

    LMT MWS LM8 20" Stainless: first range trip "RANGE REPORT"

    Not sure what you've tried so far but... I found that seriously pre-loading the bi-pod really makes a difference with my LMT. It will Jekyll and Hyde on me if I let the bi-pod rest on a concrete bench and finesse it like a bolt gun. I have a 16"CL and a 20"SS. They both react the same way...

    Range Report 69gr SMK what am I missing?

    I've searched for an answer but everyone seems to accept the following; 69smk bc's from Sierra's site: .301 @ 2800 fps and above .305 between 2800 and 2200 fps .317 @ 2200 fps and below The BC improves as velocity decreases. Is this correct??? Every other bullet in the line...

    Brand new LMT... Broke

    Re: Brand new LMT... Broke The wrench that came with my MWS was preset and taped. The tape had initials and "140" on it as though it had been calibrated. The graduations on the wrench were marked in FT lbs not IN lbs. 140inlbs is about 11.5ftlbs. The bolts are designed to break if too much...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Re: LMT .308 MWS I have a dual ejector bolt. I'm also using an 8.5oz buffer and the brass is in great shape after firing. I do see and occasional dent on the case but not bad at all. You will notice a lack of any bevel on the extractor. That has since been replaced by LMT.
