Well... I did it... LMT 308 MWS!

[MPD179]

Fellas,

I just did it 2 hours ago....

Picked up the LMT 308 MWS and I've been waiting for its release for a while! Unfortunately, due to the cost, I was forced to sell my FN-Scar L (556) to get her. It's ok I have a Colt 556 /.223. Here is some info and pictures she has the Aimpoint CompM4 mounted with a GripPod. I will let you know how she shoots when I get a chance to get out to the range. Would appreciate any recommendations on other optics, upgrades, etc.

I'm personally not a fan of the grip-pod. With your Aimpoint I'd go to a more traditional stubby VFG.

If you scoped it for longer ranges I'd go with a dedicated bipod, like a Harris in LaRue QD mount.

But that's just me. <---- super jealous!

Nice stick!

 

[shooter521]

Wow, that's a monster! If it wasn't for the initial sticker shock, plus the cost of feeding it, I'd want one!

 

[OneBadV8]

That pretty much sums it up.

Very nice! http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...g&start=60&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&ndsp=20&tbs=isch:1

That iz one bad a$$ jose!!! I'd ditch the Grip Pod, but that's just me.

Very nice! I've had my LMT .223 I built from pieces for about 5 years and couldn't imagine being without it. I've been contemplating the 308 as well but not until I start reloading!

I believe I'd soil myself twice if I was you:
1) First range trip when it really sinks in that you own it.
2) When the credit card statement comes in the mail with the rifle and first ammo purchase listed.

 

[ShooterLee]

That. Is. Incredible.

 

[Fireaxes]

I don't know if I should just envy you or start sucking up to be your new best friend. That is fantastic! I'm off to the classifieds to sell everything I own.

 

[Dawall]

Will you rent her out for the weekend? Very Nice and impressive. Congratulations.

 

[223 Gunner]

Nice Rifle, glad too see you got it. I have to agree with Colt556, I would loose the grip pod.

 

[308jake]

Nice...now you can add gun envy to my list of problems.

Totally agree, I'd likely scope it for longer, definitely with a dedicated bipod.

 

[22lr]

That is a gun worthy of thermal infrared weapon sight, thermal rifle scope


I like the grip pod concept, but I will admit to being in the minority on that issue.

But its so much easier to spend someone elses money...........

 

[Bflo]

That is awesome. I'm not wild about the grip pod, but it's your gun and still very impressive!

 

[teddy12b]

What are you looking to do with that? Long range or up close tactical type shooting?

Personally I like to reach out as far as I can with everything I've got so I'd at least try out a fixed 10x mildot and see what it'll do for accuracy and distance.

That is an awesome rifle. I want to read a range report about how well it shoots asap.

IMO, its meant to serve two purposes, but it's not particularly good at either.

It's too big, bulky, and heavy for a VFG; and it's not as collapsible as a dedicated bipod.
