The Burris Eliminator is actually 26 ounces in weight, but it feels lighter.

Please post the links to your new vids when their ready. The WCI went on with no problems, no crush washer or shim needed for install. I have a feeling that you'll like it. Have a guy at the range that has your trijicon scope and he is sending it back for credit to get the nightforce NSX.

I actually thought the trijicon had great optics myself, chose the nightforce for a variety of reasons, nightforce recticles will actually be more of an benefit to me over the chevron.

Yea, my Accupoint is very nice so far. I think some people love them and some don't.

BUT Im with ya that is what my next big purchase is going to be, is a Nightforce for LONG range. And I agree the Reticle is very nice and the one I have been looking at would work great for long range with quick adjustments...etc.

It's cool that you picked up a 20" barrel for it. Now you'll have some real versatility with a quick barrel and optics swap.

My shooting on Saturday took place in the country, unfortunately where long range shooting isn't possible. Ya, we do need to find a place to stretch out our 308s and .277s..

I'll be in town this weekend, so will be going to the range. I plan to load up some more 30-06 test loads for the M1 this week, so the chrono will be coming with me also. I'm also interested in seeing the actual velocity differences between the 16" and 20" barrel.

Congrats on the excellent rifle.....she's maturing nicely.



I'm heading into the gun room now to load some 6.8 evaluation loads. Looks like there'll be a NF vs Trijicon comparison also.

I love my LMT308MWS too! Dang Ryan, that really looks nice. Glad to see members who treat their rifles like gold, I know there are many of us who do.

It's a great investment to own such a fine piece of hardware and firepower. And I always admire the pictures as they show just how clean the system is.

I'll never go back to 5.56 again! This rifle is amazing and my go to weapon!

Sweet so they are offering different caliber barrels already for the LMT308MWS huh? Let's say I wanted something like that, did you just call LMT directly and ask what there options are?

Also do you use the same magazine as the 308? Sorry I figured it would but Im not to familiar with the 260. ( answered my question).

I had a conversation yesterday with Allrockabilly on the subject of alternate calibers for the LMT.

It's very cool that they're offering them now.
