LMT MWSE - any MOA in the integral picatinny rail?

[JimGnitecki]

Does anyone here know for sure: Does an LMT MWSE have any MOA built into the integral Picatinny rail?

Reason for asking is that I want to be able to move a scope from the LMT to a Sako TRG 42, which will probably have a 20 MOA base on it. If one rifle has 20 MOA in its rail and the other none, that's a lot of correction with a scope that has 1/8th click adjustments!

Of course if your experience with the LMT is anything like mine, you might just leave the scope on the LMT and sell the bolt gun.

I haven't shot my bot gun in a year. I haven't fully decided to sell my FN SPR A3G but it has been on my mind for a while. The only thing slowing me down is that my A3G has been awesome.

My experience as well. I have 2 LMT MWS rifles, one in 308, the other in 260 Rem. Both shoot better than I can and under MOA At long range.

My experience has been a bit different.

Yes, I am very pleased with the way my LMT shoots, especially as I continue to practice and get better. I can see the improvements.

But, a few days ago, a total stranger at the range, whom I was quizzing about his TRG 42 338 Lapua, offered to let me shoot a couple of rounds with his TRG.

I had never fired a bolt rifle before, let alone THIS specific bolt rifle. The scope eye relief and focus was set up for HIS eyes and hold. The trigger was set up for HIM. I did not want to try to adjust the stock as that would have been rude. He had the rifle set up on his shooting mat for PRONE shooting, and I have only ever fired a rifle from prone a few times - back in 1999 or 2000. Finally, I had just arrived at the range, so these 2 shots would be my very first of the day.

I found that I did not have to spend ANY time "finding the right position or hold." The rifle felt right immediately. I fired, and the 2 shots were within 9/16" of each other. I quickly realized that the ergonomics of the TRG must be EXCELLENT - or, coincidentally ideal for ME.

Yesterday, I bought a very slightly used TRG 42, and picked it up today. I intend to shoot BOTH the TRG and the LMT. They are very different in ways far beyond the caliber.
