At half the price of a kac, the lmt seems to get good reviews.

I can speak first hand about the lmt mws and I loved it (zero stoppages or failures and accurate) but moved from having a range 5 minutes from my door to driving hours so I sold it in favor of ordering a few LRB's. Hindsight I knew I'd move within reasonable proximity to a range but never thought rdsc would build 10 mins drive away. I've often thought about buying another but my heart is set on a LWRC REPR, SR25 ECC or larue OBR. these would be my top picks unless I can find a noveske N6

Tried googling ACC I take it's advanced combat carbine , what's the diff between it and the APC?
It's a nice rifle. That being said if price isn't a concern then you might want to just bite the bullet and get the SR25. Especially since you already have a SR15. It's a tough choice once you take out the money concern. In the states many consider the Lewis Stoner rifle to be the ultimate. IE LMT monlithic upper with KAC ambi lower.
Here are my LMT rifles. On the left is a LMT mrp with 16" SS bull barrel on it. On the right is the LMT MWS (308) with the 20" SS barrel. It gives you an idea of what the LMT looks like with the 20" nd compared to the 16" 223 version. Sorry iphone pictures only, I know the quality isn't great. The LMT MWS has an ambi mag release on the left side which the mrp doesn't have. The lower on the LMT MWS is the same as the KAC minus the ambi bolt release of the KAC.
By the way with the Armalite AR10T DND rifles... I've had a few ex military who served with these rifles contact me trying to find where they can get one. I know there is the nostalgia after using one in combat that would compel someone to look for one. But.. if these rifles didn't serve them well, they wouldn't be looking at getting or building another one like the one they had. Considering my experience in civilian range only use of these rifles, it wouldn't surprise me if they did pretty well with these. Especially after 06 when the Gen2 mags replaced the garbage gen1 mags. Just thought I'd mention this in case you start thinking your AR10 target rifle is too plain or not cool enough.

The way i figured my virtual order ( they all are until you go for it ) The LMT MWS 16 inchs + a extra barrel of 20 inchs both in 1 in 10 for now this is the potential buy... JP.
LMT is a proven design that's been fielded by several militaries. It's been on the market for a few years and there are a bunch in civi hands. With a LMT MWS you as the consumer are not the beta tester. Mine is accurate and has had zero issues. Only drawback the LMT has is that it is heavy.
If you want to save money and build a lighter rifle there's the various DPMS offerings. I ran a DPMS-based Citizen Arms build on a McPhee course and it had zero malfunctions and was extremely accurate.
If money is no object go for one of the newer SR25 models. They have been extensively tested and are built to the highest standards.
If you feel like paying to be a product tester then roll the dice and go for the made in Canada .308 AR. Like any rifle who's only appeal is it's NR status, the value will plummet if the classification system undergoes a revamp.
