Let me know what you think about these rifles. I am looking to buy a rifle that I can swap uppers on. I would like to go between a 12.5" upper and a 16-20" upper for long range. The PWS fits the bill perfectly.

I am looking for something light as well.

I know these will be a little heavier with the piston systems but it would be nice to avoid "building".

What Kind of accuracy are these getting? I currently shoot around .5-.75 MOA with my Sig 716, but the damn thing has no modularity.

The Sig cycles flawlessly. I guess I was lucky. i have heard some bad things, but mine has run great.

Give me your 2 cents on these rifles.

Is it a lower worth SBRing?
 
I got an email from PWS about some "restructuring" they are going through. My first instinct was to dump the rifle, which I did. Last time a company went through restructure, they stopped making parts for my Saab. Not about to hold onto a $2900 rifle that I may not get parts for. I had one of the first .308's they produced, worked flawlessly, but was OK for accuracy. I bought a colt 901 about a month ago and have yet to shoot it. I am hoping to do that today.

This is my opinion, and I am sticking to it.
 
Didn't know about the restructuring, I'd personally hold off from buying from any company that is going through a drastic change like that until the water clears. I had PWS mk216 and it was a good rifle that would shoot 1 MOA with m118lr (liked the most). Occasional .8 or .9 moa group but most of the time a solid 1 moa rifle with match ammo. Sold during the panic after a guy next to me on the range offered $1000 more than I paid for it. Honestly if modularity is your thing pick up a LMT MWS and some extra barrels
