I would love to try one of these high end firearms. I would probably never be in a financial position to buy one.
I would love to try one as well. I’d also want to shoot it next to a standard carbine and see how my groups differed. I think that would be the true test of the marksman and really show you how good you are vs the tool you are using.
I was fast becoming sort of a fan of LMT rifles but I didn’t own one. So, I bought one. I bought a LMT Sharpshooter Rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm with Pelican Case, Harris Bi-pod, 8 magazines and all the other stuff that goes with it. I received it 19 weeks after I placed the order and I paid about $4,700 for it. I’m not rich guys so paying that much for a rifle really, really hurt the pocket book. What hurt even more was seeing the rifle I had ordered when it was delivered. What a disappointment… At first glance I knew the rifle I had just received needed to go back to LMT to be re-manufactured /refurbished. To LMT’s credit they apologized, paid for the return shipping and promised to make it right. I’ll keep you posted as to how well they do…
Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to your follow up on their customer service and the replacement product.
Good luck. :)
I would love to buy a weapon such as this – thanks to the push to ban these, they are rapidly becoming impossible to find! Going to a gun show this weekend in the hopes of still finding one.
