LWRC REPR Impressions
I am a FAL owner and I have gotten more out of my DSA STG58 than most people have gotten out of an M1A. I have never felt like I needed to go out and get the M1A because I am in the minority that can get MOA out of my FAL and I really don’t feel as though I need to get it better than that. From my experience with Semi-auto rifles, the more you push towards accuracy, the less reliable the gun is after all of the fine tuning. The best way to get a 308 into gear is to turn it into a DMR.
LWRC is once again the leader in better designs and moving away from the direct impingement design is one thing, but getting an MOA gun with reliable magpul pmags and making it lighter than an M14 or FNFAL is a fantastic thing. I was fortunate to be able to get to test a few of the new LWRC REPR rifles out and I did not feel like I was firing a 308 rifle. The REPR feels like an AR15 and the lighter weight really means something for a gun in this caliber. $3500 + optics is steap though, but hell, everyone has a second mortgage these days.
