I just purchased an LMT .308 MWS. It was not done easily. The purchase was the largest amount I have ever paid for one firearm. I had searched for sometime and narrowed it down to this rifle.
I considered price, function, quality, size, past experience and a whole host of other factors.
I have had an LMT AR 5.56 with a LaRue rail for many years and it has never failed me once. This includes several urban rifle courses.
I have read and talked to several others that own this rifle as well as others that had wished they had waited and purchased the LMT.
There are many other .308 AR platforms out there but this one covered all the bases for me.
I wanted an AR platform (I have a new in the box Walnut M1A Springfield Scout that I will be selling as I purchased on impulse) due to its like function, maintenance and like operation of my other ARs that I have had (active duty Army, 22 years, tough to teach an old dog new tricks) over the years.
The rifle should be here the end of the week and maybe out to the range in the very near future.
My next purchase sometime down the road will be a nice scope. Which will also be another first. (always irons until the aimpoint came along). I have a very cheap scope that was given to me that I will mount or just use irons for the near future.
The rifle itself will be used for target and possibly a hog hunt or two when I get to Texas for some leave.
This was my 4th of July Independence present to myself, I could not think of any better way to celebrate,

Any and all experience or advise is always welcome.
