gh0stface Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hello, I'm just recently broke my AR-10 cherry by purchasing a LMT MWS with a 16". The salesman assured me that the 16" barrel can be used beyond 600 yards. I have some experience with the .308 round, but my experience with .308 was with gau-17 and m240 from the side of an UH-1N. I looked at the AR-15 platform, but I like the long range possibilities of the .308. I'm going need a lot advice on optics, round selection, and reload information.GF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Welcome! Glad you made it gh0stface!For my purposes (at the moment...these guys have convinced me I have other purposes) I went with a lower power scope 2-7x33mm. Reasonable for upclose, decent for out to 600. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Welcome to another NorCal guy!I recognize your dilemma. I am in a similar boat. I'd love to put on a NF 2.5-10x, but I see a Leupold 3-9x more likely in my price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
