To be 100% honest, have been interested for years.. BUT, felt like many still do today. Felt I can built the same on my own, just as good for less money.. YES and NO.. ALL depends on what you are looking for, for what purpose, etc..

I attended my first LR Shooting class with them around 2014..Asked the instructor that very question one day during a break.. I have attended a few since, in fact wrote an article about their school that was published in the Nov issue I believe of HUNT ALASKA MAGAZINE...

This model offers some of what their past rifles had along with new innovative features I appreciate. For where I live and what I hunt, this would work really well. But then so would about a dozen of my other rifles..

GW's is in the forefront of technology. To some that is undesirable, to me it's not.. I can appreciate guns and gear for what they are and what they were when developed and sold. Really enjoy the old Winchesters, bolts and levers.. Love doubles and their history... Really enjoy SXS shotguns, handguns..and AR style rifles/pistol configurations..

I really like reaching out and touching targets at 1000 yards and beyond.. To me that's fun.. Have no plans on shooting game at long range. And to me, long range on game is past 600 yards.. Elk hunting, I have shot bulls as close as 3 yards with my bow.. have also taken them just past 600 on the other side of a canyon with my 300RUM.. Have also shot dozens under 200 yards or less.. many under 100.. sneaking through the woods after a fresh snowfall or while its snowing is pure magic in my mind..
