I had one of the 24" stainless fluted bbl LR-308s and it was amazing. I'm not a "good shot" by any stretch of the imagination but that rifle made me looks GOOD! I was able to shoot MOA and sub-MOA groups from day one with 3 different kinds of ammo. You could easily sling and carry that 14+lb rifle set-up anywhere, if that is about all you needed to carry.

I decided I wanted something more portable and went with the 18" LR-308B (fluted 18" bbl).
