Aye, pretty dire!

We ain't all as good as you!......Anyway it's as accurate as I'd want it to be.

Just mistook the post, thought I was agreeing with you.

So long as it pleases you then stick with it.

I think there's a mix-up somewhere......I thought you was referring to my target being dire or have I got it wrong?. Context can get lost in threads

[dromia]

No I thought it a dire 50 yard target, unless shot full auto.

Ok, thank you for clearing that up

At the end of the day it is what it is and it does what it says on the tin.

And as I said if that is what pleases you, good luck to you.

UK pretendy AR prosletyzing post removed as contrary to the subject of the thread

I like AKs (I own one), but the point was the OP said they planned to shoot at a 6" target at up to 200 yds.

Hitting most of the time at 100 isn't a good start (in this case)...

It's all about the right tool for the job - expecting / needing more out of a rifle than it'll ever give won't make for a happy purchase.

Without getting entrenched with who makes the best UK AR style rifle (I know it's been done to death before) any opinions on the wider field that is now appearing with US and German manufacturers.

I am looking to .223/5.56 calibre straight pull and giving serious consideration to LMT, but also looking to Hera and Schmeisser.

Mainly to be used for 100/200 yards non-precision 6" diameter Shoot'n'C/plastic bottle shooting at Severnside using a range of Vortex/Burris AR type sights (and a Mepro M21b when it arrives). Thinking a 16"/18" barrel length 1:7 twist.

Have discounted CMMG as handling a .22 it felt a bit rough and ready, already have a Lantac .22 Raven (although indications are that we might see a full Lantac US manufactured rifle this year that might be interesting), already have a SGC 9mm LR so would like something else.

As an outsider I would consider an AK (epecially with Magpul guards and stock) but only have a .223 on ticket and doesn't seem right somehow to have an AK in .223.

Price range up to/circa £2000 (but closer to £1500 would be better).

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated especially from any LMT or Hera owners.

i have the lmt 308 mws i very happy with it ! in fact i'm so impressed i thinking about picking up the 5.56mm lmt as well!
lmt have factory option of a olive green frame which i'm tempted !
i will have barrel cut down to 14inches and mill out the forward assisant so i can have a side charger
