It's cool that you picked up a 20" barrel for it. Now you'll have some real versatility with a quick barrel and optics swap.

My shooting on Saturday took place in the country, unfortunately where long range shooting isn't possible. Ya, we do need to find a place to stretch out our 308s and .277s..

I'll be in town this weekend, so will be going to the range. I plan to load up some more 30-06 test loads for the M1 this week, so the chrono will be coming with me also. I'm also interested in seeing the actual velocity differences between the 16" and 20" barrel.

Congrats on the excellent rifle.....she's maturing nicely.

I'm heading into the gun room now to load some 6.8 evaluation loads. Looks like there'll be a NF vs Trijicon comparison also.

I love my LMT308MWS too! Dang Ryan, that really looks nice. Glad to see members who treat their rifles like gold, I know there are many of us who do.

It's a great investment to own such a fine piece of hardware and firepower. And I always admire the pictures as they show just how clean the system is. :)

I'll never go back to 5.56 again! This rifle is amazing and my go to weapon!

Pics of my 2 LMT's will be forthcoming. Still testing loads for the 260 Remington...

Did you get a 260 Remington barrel for an LMT?

Awesome, looking forward to the pictures!

I had a conversation yesterday with Allrockabilly on the subject of alternate calibers for the LMT.

It's very cool that they're offering them now.

Sweet so they are offering different caliber barrels already for the LMT308MWS huh? Let's say I wanted something like that, did you just call LMT directly and ask what there options are?

Also do you use the same magazine as the 308? Sorry I figured it would but Im not to familiar with the 260. (Grizz answered my question).

How long did it take for them to get you that barrel?

I'm not going to ask how much because I can guess for myself. I am sure you can by a very nice bolt rifle for the price of that barrel. But it's just awesome isn't it? So it makes it worth it

I'm getting ready to hit the range and meet Grizz and do some shooting :D
We are going to play with his Chrono and he's going to help me with some Dope sheets. It's nice to meet someone cool that's local and has a bunch of cool toys that I don't have yet and someone that I can learn from.

I am going to start buying reloading equipment. I really need to start reloading 308. It's getting really expensive. It's going to get worse when I get more into accuracy and long range.

But I have never reloaded before so I have a lot to learn...
