Living In A Bizarro World
I always wanted one and bought one about a year ago, as I wanted the model with the side charging handle, which is great for staying in your shooting position. I don’t like the new design with the AR charging handle.
I bought the 20 inch “Sniper Model” in FDE cerakote. It has the heavy barrel.
I quickly put about $1700 (conservative #) in upgrades on it:
1. Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP
EBR-2C (MRAD) Reticle | 30mm Tube (MSRP $1,149)
2. LaRue Tactical OBR QD Scope Mount, LT111 ($264)
3. Battlecomp BABC ($200)
4. Harris Bipod ($79) (I currently have an Atlas bipod on it, but will remove it if I sell the gun)
5. Accupoint Monopod ($100)
The problem is that I still haven’t fired it! I just don’t have time. I had a gunsmith put on the compensator, mount the scope, and bore sight it in (yes, I’m useless).
The fact that I mounted a scope, does that hurt the price? The gun is perfect and was only fired at the factory.
I’m about $5k into this Rifle and don’t want to get raped on it. Part of me would rather just leave it in my safe and hope I get into long range shooting again, but I could also sell it and free up some money for a Nighthawk Custom that I have my eye on.
Any opinions?
You can see the rifle standing on the table above its little brother, my LWRC IC-Enhanced.
