Another LMT LM8 build thread

[saryan]

I have been gone for a bit from the game. Started a new business and started doing some overseas security. Needless to say I have been very busy over the past year or so. Picked up this LM8 off a hide member and I love it compared to the old model. So far I have yet to fire a single round. I ordered some rings from Griffin that should be here this week and then will get to go fire it. I have added a Giesselle trigger and will be adding a ACS stock for it. So far here is the early pics. Barrel is a 16"Chrome. Nightforce 3.5-15x50 F1 ZS HS with the MLR2.0 will sit on top of it. For what its worth the rifle weighs 11.912lbs WITH the night force and a set of rings that are too short.

Here is how it would look if I stuck the Elcan on it.

Congrats and a fine tool you picked to get back in the game with. I had an Elcan on mine for awhile. Reticle kind of worked at distance. Had to fire around 4-5 rounds to get on target and make consistent hits on 12x24 steel at 700y. I believe the reticle was designed for a 7.62 machine gun? Overall it's a fantastic optic for the platform.
