LMT .308 MWS Pictures show us your setup

Same.

I would think if the receiver said 308, as I think my last one did, the barrel would say the same. Barrel and receiver should match. But I don't know that.

I correct myself. I saw an MWS labeled 308 On lower but barrel was 7.62.

Curious as to how much lighter the lightweight barrels make the mws feel. Like run and gun light? I'm itching to get an acc or apc to shave some serious weight l, but am wondering if I'm better off with getting a lightweight stainless barrel instead...

Oh that is awesome. That's my next optic.

Subjectively, it greatly increases the maneuverability of the rifle. Objectively, it drops the weight to about 8.75 pounds without sights and with a CTR stock. I think this is in APC territory, though the ACC is lighter. Also, the barrels are very accurate. Both slippers and I have had excellent results with our lightweight chrome lined barrels.

1.42" except I wouldn't consider me running them. I am yet to shoot with the gun or the glass

Good feedback on the lightweight CL. I'm going to see what I'm grouping with a batch of M118LR before deciding whether or not to commit to a LW CL barrel. It appears I've remedied the gas issue, but I have yet to take her back out to try out some different loads.

M-to-the-D, nice glass. I hope to acquire one for a dedicated bolt action precision rig at some point. However, those plans are a ways off.
