D.R.D. Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 I know that many here have strong feelings about the customer service between these two companies. But that aside, I'm just looking for contrasting opinions on performance. Particularly, accuracy, and any feeding issues. I'm looking to choose between these two: (both are .308) Lothar Walther 18" rifle-length gas system, 1:10 twist, VarTac (heavier profile) .750 gas block, LW-50 steel (comes with NiB matched bolt) or Fulton Armory (by Criterion) 18.5 rifle-length gas system, 1:10 twist (Medium weight) .936 gas block, 410 Stainless (I'd buy and send them my bolt for head-spacing) End of the day, the cost will be about the same, maybe $30 more for the LW. Any input from those that might have experience with both? This will be for longer range precision target shooting (not only benchrest, though) Thanks
survivalshop Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 I have two FA Barrels & they out shoot me with out a problem , but with the LW Barrel , I can't see you going wrong there ether .
D.R.D. Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Posted February 7, 2015 Yeah, thats what I've heard. I just thought I'd put it out there anyway. Thanks
98Z5V Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 18.5" Fulton here, and it shoots the lights out. Personal opinion on LW customer service has me in a position to not list that as a recommendation. Barrel might be the baddest thing on the planet, but with what I've seen on the CS side, that makes it a no-go bigtime.
D.R.D. Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Posted February 7, 2015 I think I might wind up getting the LW in .308, and eventually building a second upper (or complete rifle) with a Fulton Criterion in 6.5 Creedmoor.
98Z5V Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 Hope you don't get Effed in the Aaaay on it. <thumbsup>
Matt.Cross Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 Hope you don't get Effed in the Aaaay on it. <thumbsup> I've got mixed feelings about it, I really don't want him to have a good experience with them, I'll feel all the more cheated. >:D
D.R.D. Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Posted February 8, 2015 If I wind up having no troubles at all, I'll make up an awful horror story just to make you feel better. No worries ;-)
