Hello , I'm new here . I was just wondering what y'all think about the LWRCI R.E.P.R's .
Thanks
Thanks
Same here...my first high end rifle/AR and while I cant compare the recoil to anything I think it is just fine. I never bought it to be some super accurate comp rifle but a rifle that I could use for multiple different roles. I have mine fitted with a Leupold MK6 3-18x sitting in a Spuhr mount with an Aimpoint T1 off the side. I set it up for close range out to 800+. I actually might take mine Elk hunting this year if I can source/modify a mag for 5 rounds. Overall I am happy and it fits the role that I bought it for.I enjoy the hell out of mine. Its a great rifle, accurate, reliable and well built.
There are those that love REPRs, and there are those who have actually tried to get them to shoot accurately.

I originally wanted an LWRC rifle in 5.56 but got a smokin deal on the REPR so I said hey if I dont like the 308 cartridge I can sell it for a gain and drop down to 5.56.
I am one of those that 19Scout77 talked about.
I was on the waiting list for a REPR before they came out, and really wanted it to work. To be fair, I was running a Larue mount on my Nightforce, so that could be a contributing factor.
My 18" REPR was a great rifle, in that it was well put together and worked 100% (in 700+ easy rounds). But, I couldn't get it to reliably shoot less than about 1.5 moa, and the recoil was, as previously described, sharp. Groups would typically be two satellite groups, without explanation and very consistently. I just couldn't get it to shoot as I expect it should. I am not a sniper by any means, but am an accomplished rifleman.
I sold it and bought a SCAR 17. The recoil is noticeably less. The accuracy is as good or better (better, and more consistent). And most importantly, it weighs about 3 pounds less. The SCAR does everything the REPR did, and weighs a lot less.
I am very happy with the SCAR 17.

I have over 1500 rounds through my 18" REPR, and have run it suppressed most of the time. While it isn't benchrest gun accurate, I can live with it's 1 MOA. I have had groups shoot better. A 762 semi is a challenge to shoot, especially all day. I bought it for reliability, and it has ran flawless. I have Pmags, and KAC mags, and either way, feeds, fires, and ejects 100%. I don't notice any sharp recoil, due to running it suppressed. In the end, get what you want, and go shoot the damn thing. J
Have you had any issues with the adjustable gas port ? People are saying they get founded up easily and then you can't turn them any longer . Also that they can't be taken apart and cleaned . I've been getting flamed on AR15.com about them .

I really like mine. I shot a .537" group today at 304 yards with hand loads.
I paid so much money for this thing it has to be ME, it can't be the gun.
