    Very nice, what a beautiful rifle

    My pal from LMT emailed me on Monday and said that he was shipping mine sometime this week.

    Hehehe...Being called the MRP man warms the cockles of my heart

    Turns out these rifles are beyond wildly popular and LMT is having a really hard time meeting the demand for them both from the U.S. civilian market, as well as the MoD and NZ military contracts.

    I go through my friend @ LMT these days for all my needs and with that being the case, I'm at the mercy of LMT instead of a dealer.

    Damn straight....for the interim, that is what I'm rolling with on mine. Ultimately though, I'm going with a 6.5cm true LR setup on this first MWS of mine, and it will sport a NF F1. Second MWS is getting SBR'd with a 13.5" .308 setup. It will sport a T-1 most likely, although a baby NXS like D90 has might go great as well on it.

    That's great news! Look forward to watching your research which will hopefully save me some money on ammo. Fortunately I am GTG on ammo for a bit. I have 1k of 175gr GMM and a couple hundred rounds of 150gr Hornady Superformance but I am looking forward to learning what commercially available ammo suites the CL 16" barrel the best and you are just the man to test it out.

    Taking it out to shoot steel this weekend which I'm really looking forward to.

    Im also looking forward to getting some proper pictures of the trio in the next few days.

    The optic choice is going to consume me until I figure out what the best fit will be... Thinking for this rifle either the S&B 1.1-8 or maybe the Z6 that I have been hearing so much about. I might add another NF but wouldn't mind changing it up a bit, unless it turns out that once again the NF is the best bang for the buck for quality glass that doesn't break the bank.

    Well I really look forward to sharing another rifle with you brother, me and you go back to the "MRP Badness" days

    I also really look forward to some more pics of that beautiful rifle of yours, you really can't do anything in my style of taking pics without great natural filtered lighting. Having clouds filter a sunny morning is my favorite time to snap a pic or two.

    That NXS 3.5-15x50 is one helluva great optic for these rifles though, I can see you wanting to reduce the profile and size a bit, but that optic will really allow you to get the most outta your MWS in terms of LR precision capabilities.

    At any rate, really excited to see you pick one of these up and look forward to swapping notes on them in the future with you. CONGRATS

    I have already decided against this setup and will be putting my NF 3-.5-15X50 MLR on it tonight so that I can take advantage of the cartridge out to 800+ yds Can't wait to start my journey in learning long range shooting.

    I can't really explain why I did it, but I just ordered the 16" SS barrel for my MWS (from Trident's buddy at LMT). One of these days, I'll get around to actually shooting the damn rifle and making my investment worth it. LOL

    Were you getting poor performance out of the factory 16" CL barrel? From what I have seen and been following the factory 16" CL barrel is shooting a little under MOA which is certainly acceptable for my needs... Were you not getting those results and that's why you upgraded to the SS?

    "I can't really explain why I did it".....I was getting sub-moa 10-shot groups (shot at 100 yards with a NF 2.5-10x24) with the 16" CL barrel.
