A short while ago it was announced that our infantry are getting issued new "Sharpshooter" 7.62mm Nato rifles on a scale of two per section. These willused for the Designated Maksman role and will replace the 5.56mm LSW which currently do that job.

I've not heard of the LM7 previously and wondered how it compares to the M110 SASS or the tricked out M14's you guys are using in a similar role?
 
Re: Law Enforcement International LM7

It should be superior to the M110, there are a lot of negatives with that system, one of them being the barrel and suppressor. As the rifle above stands it won't have the same issues.

The balance should be better also, the M110 is very front heavy and not handy at all, the stock being hollow is too light, the barrel being 20" plus a can is too long and heavy and throws the carry off considerably.

The weakest link for the M110 is the trigger, but there is no way to address that looking at the picture.

What I see wrong is the sight being shown, that is a MG scope from Trijicon and much too big and heavy for that system. Not to mention you guys have 3 different sighting options on there. Zero the irons, zero the Trijicon, zero the reflex on top... way too much. I would be using an Elcan if you wanted to go that route, the 1.5-6X, put the Docter on it and call it a day, forget the irons, the Elcan has them as well if you really needed them.

Lastly, I would consider an Atlas bipod instead of the Harris and that crappy attachment point to the lower rail. The Atlas is so much better, I can't even begin to describe the improves you'll see. Everything from size, weight, mounting to versatility the Harris is shit compared to the Atlas, especially in this application.

But the system looks good.
 
Re: Law Enforcement International LM7

LL, can you elaborate on the M110 deficiencies. I have an older SR25 that I like, but different than the M110 system. It seems a PRS stock change would be simple enough, but what are the trigger and barrel issues.

Trigger: I thought they used the KAC 2-stage match. The one in the SR-15E3 is pretty nice so I'm not sure what else is needed or better.

Barrel: Is it manufacturer used relating to final performance, length WITH can causing POI shifts. Their new enhanced match rifles might have addresed some of those issues maybe. I have heard from several sources/reports, some from you I think, that the can used in the system has and/or causes some issues.

Thanks for any response LL.
