I’ve got a LWRC 7.62 SABR on order and I’m having some 2nd thoughts on what version I should get. I originally placed the order for the DMR version with UBR stock and 18” medium contour barrel. But now I’m wondering if I should get the 20” heavy barreled version with the PRS stock. The dealer I’m working with will switch my order, no problem.
This is my first precision rifle, so I’m way down on the learning curve. My primary use for this rifle will be recreational shooting at 300 to 600 yards. That’s where 90% of the shooting will be. Eventually, I’d like to go beyond that to as much as 1,000 yards. Also, I’d eventually like to add a suppressor.
I originally picked the 18” barrel with UBR stock because it was lighter and shorter, and since I planned on adding a suppressor I wanted to keep the weight and length down as much as possible. Some of the longer range shooting will require that I hike in a bit (a mile or two at most) and/or being strapped to the back of an ATV, so weight and length is something I’d like to reduce if possible. But now I wonder if I am giving up too much in the accuracy/velocity department, especially at long range, with the shorter barrel and that the UBR stock will not be entirely suitable for precision shooting.
What are your thoughts? For the use I’ve described, which makes the better choice?
Thanks in advance for the input.
