LMT 308 MWS range day

[pbr streetgang]

took the LMT out today to get the cobwebs off and I must say, this rifle is astonishingly accurate (even more so because its an AR).

anyways, quick range report.

conditions: cloudly/rainy 7 degrees with little to almost no wind.

Ammunition: American eagle 308 WIN. 150 grain FMJ boat-tail

Optic: Elcan Spectre DR 1.5-6x 7.62

5 round groups @ 100m

this was pretty much the average grouping on all 5 rounds of shooting (sadly i only took a pic of the one with the flyer), im sure with a more precise optic and handloads i could get this rifle down to 1/4 moa.

the rifle has a bit of weight to it, but it really helps with felt recoil and was great for quick follow up shots.

if anyone out there is considering one of these rifles, i wouldnt hesitate to recommend it.

Its on my list but at $3500, it will be awhile.

Shot the American Eagle, huh? My M305 doesn't like it. Won't feed another from the mag allot of the time.

Very nice

If you get the Chrome Lined Version, it's only $2800. Mine's no slouch.

Nice setup. I have to say I kind of regret not getting the Elcan 1-4x rather than my T1 on the 12.5" AR. Just more versatile.

How do you like your 1.5-6x?

nice but heavy... its good for hitting torso size targets out to 800m but not the best for precision shooting.

Much love for the mws here too !
Running it carbine style with an swfa 1-4 keeps me motivated to keep going to the gym

Load testing yesterday with a temporarily mounted vortex 4-16.
I'm trying to talk myself into the leupold 1.1-8 with the horus reticle, I feel that if any rifle deserved such a prohibitively expensive optic, this'd be it.

Average 300 yard grouping with 175 grain smk, cci br2, 44 grains of varget at 2.8 oal. Pretty gusty out, but I take credit for most of the horizontal stringing .
Shoots very nice indeed, certainly better than me.

This rifle so tempting....

I wish the rifle wasn't so much of a pig. It's like swinging a pike around.

Ah, that's where the gym time comes in !

All joking aside though, I'm not much slower with the mws than my 18" ar. Wouldn't want to hold it in a high ready position all day at a carbine course or something though.
Then again maybe I'm slow with the ar, ha !

I recently bought the xcr-m and cant wait to buy one of these for the shelf beside it. has anyone used this rifle to 1000m?

Not yet, but will soon.
The xcr-m has a softer recoil impulse, but the build quality and especially the accuracy aren't even on the same planet.
