B&T APC308 PRO vs FN SCAR 17s NRCH vs LMT L129A1

[Origin_tz]

Should I switch my LMT L129A1 to B&T APC308 PRO DMR version, or FN SCAR 17s NRCH, or just keep it?
I'm shooting both suppressed and unsuppressed.

(Or maybe LWRC REPR MKII)

What does your current rifle not do, that you hope the others will?

My LMT is great and accurate, but it is heavy and doesn't perform well when shooting suppressed.
I'm thinking of a lighter piston rifle

Don’t let FN know you ran a can.

No way I would.

The LMT is great, I wouldn't sleep on the LWRCI either. I wouldn't bother with the Scar17 if suppressors or precision are on the menu. APC I can't really speak to, no experience with them.

Why not just buy a light weight barrel for your MWS?

I recently dumped my scar, still have two mws's and an sr25.

That’s a good idea! I’m thinking to get an Estonia Piston Kit for my MWS

Nice.

Just remember that AR's and mounts are modular and not everything has to wear a 2lb optic and a 1lb can 100% of the time.

Unless you're truly humping this rifle around in the field I'd roll with the current stick or purchase the piston driven MARS-H. The APC is typical swiss build quality but just as heavy. I run a SCAR 17S (gas jet + trigger needed) with zero issues suppressed/unsuppressed in the field and it's more accurate than it should be. Weight was the primary consideration and it excels there. A can change, think HUXWRX/OSS, would be a less expensive option to reduce backpressure and any performance issues you might be getting with the DI system.
