or just learn to use irons and ditch the aimpoint too. It's only 30% slower, and its only your life. dunno, it is my life, true, but whatever we called the waist silhouette, I was at one time capable of 40-45 hits on it in 50 seconds from prone at 600, including a mag change, irons only, and slung up prone, no bipods or rests. And if shooting swing target where I had to engage multiples, would be down around 32-35 total hits due to changing NPA at mag changes.... Pretty damn comfortable myself.... for myself.

Oooooooooooo That doesn't mean others can't have a differing opinion though. What works for some doesn't for others. It's all in the rifles application.

What about the LMT? I think its a little less money. I shot a few of their 16" guns at Camp Butner during a course last fall. They had Leupold Mk6 scopes on them and were set up to be like the C-SASS. All of the rifles ran flawlessly and offered good precision. I didn't weigh any of them but they are light compared to the current M-110. The only complaint was the SOPMOD stock would occasionally collapse on guys if their sand sock pressed to hard against the lever; their is not much room on that stock for the sock without hitting the lever.

Which is completely legitimate. If one is hunting, plinking, competing, etc. there is no reason to buy a KAC, LMT, Larue, or HK 417 over a good DPMS pattern rifle. For sniper matches I use rifles built on DPMS parts but the reason to buy a KAC or similar is to use as a battle rifle with reliability under harsh conditions, harsh firing schedules, etc. being paramount.

And there ain't many posting here, that need or ever will need a true battle rifle.
And if the need arises, its usually only one round away from being in my possession...

Looks like I need to come down south and shoot a few piggies. We don't have them in Washington State.
I have a 223 with 65 grain Sierra Game Kings and a 308 DPMS Gen 2 recon with silencer.
