The LCS is an incredible varmint hunting gun, it was never intended or designed for bench rest type shooting. My experience with it over the past year has been fantastic as far as reliability and overall function. Accuracy has been very good after finding that the barrel has to be removed and cleaned very agressivley. I have videos of me shooting it out to 300 yards with consistent accuracy. Many of the problems I have heard are from those wanting to tinker, really not knowing what they're doing. LEAVE the regulator alone...65/70 fpe is more than enough power in .25 caliber. The gun is very easy to tune for various weight ammo and makes really good power considering its length. The nature of the hammerless system is they are loud so quieting the thing won't happen easily. It's an open range pure hunting machine. Really the only thing I would have liked to see improved is the flimsy lower pic rail that tends to bend when mounting a bipod towards the front. I'm currently working on a long term review that shows my experience over the past year that has been very extensive.
Cheers
