keep the 270WSM or get a REPR

[zippy23]

Ok, so i need a new project and this year i'm considering putting my 270WSM up for sale, maybe a few other things and going huge and getting a REPR. i've been doing a bit of reading lately. 270wsm long range is faster and has more energy, but is really expensive, harder to find of course, and wears on the barrel way more than .308. I'ld like to know INGO's thoughts as well. the cool factor plays a part when talking about lwrc

.308 is very versatile and lots of tacticool parts for the rifle its self. I wouldn't mind a 18-20 bull barrel .308 for myself. I don't believe their is much velocity loss from the shorter barrel. that's just from my limited knowledge, so take it for what its worth.

the LWRC REPR is one damn nice rifle, but it's heavy so consider that.
I almost bought a REPR but then decided on a FN SCAR 17.
The SCAR is not as accurate as the REPR, but it's much lighter and fit better into my philosophy of use.
I wanted a light hard hitting rifle that was very reliable and quality made. The SCAR 17 was the best choice at the time, and it's gas-piston like the REPR.

.308 is extremely versatile. You can get just about every kind of round for it you can imagine and it's used world wide.

I was thinking since I have a great 5.56 setup I might like a more precise long range platform, but ya the scar is more versatile. I just hate its looks

REPR wins every time. And it demands a Trijicon VCOG 1-6X on top of it.

+1 REPR.

its gonna be tough spending that kind of money, but once i get over the initial shock, then the after shock, it'll be worth it

Make sure you add glass and a mount that will do it justice! I vote for a Trijicon VCOG 1-6X in a Larue mount.

Pfff. A good ol Centerpoint will be just fine. All scopes are the same anyway






+1 REPR

A 2.5-10 Nightforce NXS compact would be slick too

Or a Leupold 1.1-8X.

Why not a LMT MWS? It has a quick change barrel system. You can go with 243, 7mm-08, 260Rem, 6.5 Creedmor, 338Federal.

Repr. At least in my opinion . I have never shot one but big on my wish list.

I have a few times and it's the nicest production self-loading rifle I've had the privilege of shooting. It's as accurate (or more so) than most bolt action .308s, it's ultra-reliable (especially compared to other .30 cal AR patterns), it has a charging handle on the left side where it belongs, and LWRC doesn't cut any corners in parts, manufacturing, or assembly.

I would vote the vortex razor 1-6 in a bobro 20moa mount if it were mine. All on top of either. Cant go wrong really
