1fast5gp Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I am thinking about picking up a black rifle in 308. I love my LMT MRP and thought I made up my mind on getting the LMT 308 MWS. Over the weekend, I shot a buddies POF 308 and loved the way it shoots. Now I am at a lost, I don't know which one to choose. LMT 308 MWS: It is DI so it takes a little longer to clean. CL barrel, it looks better than the POF, interchangeable barrel, monolithic rail, it's a LMT. POF 308: Geissle trigger and match barrel and suppose to be more accurate than the LMT, gas piston system which makes it easier to clean, I can choose between a 16in, 18in, and a 20in barrel, only thing I don't like is that the recoil is a little harder. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 LaRue's OBR and PredatARs are getting rave reviews, though I personally refuse to buy from him. I personally want a 12.5" REPR from LWRC, but am hesitant to cough up $4,000 for a rifle, plus another $6-700 for optics, plus whatever else. I'd end up having $5,000 in it before it was all finished. Food for thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 The LMT 2-stage trigger is fucking super smooth to me. I like the LaRue OBR, and the REPR, but I love LMT. There's a reason the Brits are using it as their designated marksman rifle. And so far, I hear the reports from the field are that it's nothing shy of excellent. I'm not sold on the piston rifles yet. DI has proven itself, and got a bad rap due to Vietnam era BS. Atleast with DI, you can swap bolts for the most part, but when it comes to piston rifles, everyone does their own thing. LMT308MWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate1647545505 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 LMT308 vote, good parts, good rifle. I still favor gas piston designs, but like Scottttayyy has said, no standard as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I could rest my cheek on the SOPMOD/Crane style stock all day long too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 The more I think about it, the more lean towards a LMT right now. The LaRue OBRs are nice too, but I still favor the LMT or POF. I think the REPR is a waste of money, I don't see how the REPR is 1500 better than a LMT or POF.

Nate1647545505 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Usually, the things you can't readily see is what makes the difference when compared. When you get into the internal clearances & materials, in bore cant, how true the bolt face is, the symmetry of the chamber and design, etc etc seperates a good rifle, from a great rifle. These are some top notch products from top notch vendors, sadly I couldn't tell you which edges the others out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 POF, shot a few of their 556 gas piston rifles and they are smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I would pick an AR based design if I were to do it all over again, cheaper and less hassle with optics. "Mil Spec" doesn't exisit and changes from vendor to vendor drawings in the M1 world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
