LMT .308 MWS Pictures show us your setup

[Dmaynor]

Trident, I am in North Georgia. The range I shoot long range at is in lexington, GA just east of athens.

I would certainly be interested in putting together some kind of small gathering. Shooting at that range is a blast due to the abundance of steel targets.

Just curious, which scar you getting? What do you have in mind for it? That could be a question for another thread though.

I went there once a while ago and can second it being an awesome range. I would go to any gathering in a heart beat.

To make this legal I have a bone stock MWS:



I am trying to decide what to put on it: a Nightforce or an Elcan. It's a blast to shoot though and the only firearm I have ever purchased that came with it's own torque wrench.

[ALCOAR]

No questions asked...I would take a baby NXS 1-4x over any particular Elcan model.

The NF is a true 1-4x even though the middle power ranges for most rarely get used, the elcan is just a 1x and 4x. Both are bombproof so the Elcan at least holds par in that category but then again I never seen an optic as over-engineered as the Elcans are. The nxs is a really LW optic for what you are getting in terms of performance out of it.

With the NXS you get to escape all those nightmares created by the Elcan's mounting mechism's like the ARMs models by running fantastic mounts designed perfectly for the modern day AR like a ADM or Larue. I cannot speak on Elcan's CS and QC, but NF's is impeccable, call em' up and they don't ask you any questions to your request. It should be that way when buying optics as these are.

That settles the debate then. It also doesn't hurt that it is cheaper. I am going to use Badger Ordnance rings unless somebody has a horror story about them.

I have Badger Ordnance rings on mine. They are one of the best setups out there.

148259, what scope are you running? Is that the vortex 1-4x?

FWIW, I am running badger ultra highs on my my rifle. No issues what so ever.

It says "vortex" on the side of the scope so it must be.

Sorry been without a computer for a week.

Great looking setups out there.

As for the the redot it does take some getting used to but it's not bad.

HOPO:

I've been looking at the Nightforce for the SS barrel setup I have coming, which velocity reticule did you go with LV,MV,HV and would it provide enough magnification out to 1000yds?

Yes, vortex 1-4x, Badger rings, badger tramp mount for the bipod, larue index clips, Jewell trigger, battlecomp flash supressor.

Hows the battle comp working out, does it tame the 16" Barrel system much or is it still a pretty sharp impulse?

[Fitzghan]

I would also like to know your thoughts on the Battlecomp. I recently purchased the PWS FSC30 from SKD when they had their 25% off Osama is dead sale....couldn't pass it up for that price and I love the PWS FSC556 on my MRP.

Is the Battlecomp worth the 200 plus bucks or should I stick with the PWS? Thoughts?

Sorry no pics yet.....I purchased the MWS on deployment and haven't made it back yet.
