[QUOTE="lilharcher, post: 1019507, member: 83227"] I have an LMT too and love it (piston .223/6.8), but consider it more a tactical/battle rifle, as opposed to a precision/hunting rifle.......heavy for one - a stock 16" .308 is 9.8lbs without a scope or accessories. For two, it is well documented, by independent testing (and LMT's own guarantee of only 1.5 MOA), that the switch barrels are not that accurate......a number of people only claim to get 1.25 to 1.5 moa accuracy out of the switch barrels. The Criterion you selected should be at least twice as accurate at 0.75 MOA, and I'd be shocked if either the Criterion or JPE didn't do 0.50 MOA. I have a JPE barrel, and my friend has a Criterion that I shoot next to frequently, and both will run circles around the LMT, holding all other factors consistent. But again, I really like LMT rifles, but not for this application. [/QUOTE]
