i looked around at alot of 308 platforms, and thought i had a winner with the sig 716 dmr, it shot 1/2 moa groups, with match ammo.. but it was 12lbs without optics, and no ammo.. i was naive about weight and i dreaded the idea of lugging it around during a hike or somehing. i loved it but wanted something i could carry around if needed. this is where the scar comes in.. yes i like the FAL, and M1A too but, i liked the idea of a lightweight, 8lb rifle with less recoil than an m1a, and FAL, and can shoot around 1 moa.. the benefits i gained with the scar outweigh the loss in precision from the sig 716,
The LMT is 9.3 lbs. think they're around $3000. I'd want one if i were in a free state and could use 20 round PMAGs.
