Slight breeze from right to left. Rifle on hand, hand on bag. Rear unsupported by bag. LGV grouping could have been better but towards the end, that little bit in the center was frustrating me. Not sure what happened with the two fliers from the LGU. Pretty happy with both though. I guess I’ll keep ‘em.Upvote 0
Wait, what?! You put the 12fp spring on the FAC? That thing is shooting very nice indeed! Where did you get the spring from?
That LGV of yours is a lazer, damn!

I took the sub 12 spring that came stock in the LGV and put it in my LGU. The LGU was shooting around 15 fpe out of the box if I remember correctly. The LGV is definitely accurate. That group doesn’t do it justice. I started obsessing about the small tab in the center and trying to remove it lol.
I wouldn’t say the LGU is more accurate. I do get the occasional flier still with it every so often. Don’t really get fliers with the LGV. Regardless, they are both so accurate that it’s really a moot point. I think I just shoot better with the LGV truth be told.

That is awesome! I’m thinking of getting a scope like yours to put on that LGV. Right now I’m just using a Bugbuster. What rings are you using please?

The rings are UTG with stop pin. Never saw a lot of need to spend more than $25-$30 on a set of rings.

AG5643 very nice rifles and great accuracy to boot. Never any doubt really about accuracy coming from a Walther. A couple of questions if you wouldn’t mind do both rifles have the same trigger and which one did you shoot first.
Thanks

Both triggers are identical, stock. The one on the LGV is better but as I said, they are both stock. The LGV trigger just smoothed itself out is all. Shot the LGV first.

Thanks for that. Both fine groups. Sometimes it has been my experience that I get better groups the second time around having warmed up to the trigger but as you said it’s a mute point really as they are both accurate rifles
It must be difficult on deciding which one to shoot, do you give them the same amount of time or is the LGV your go to rifle.

I definitely pick up the LGV more. I had some repairs I needed to make to the LGU’ muzzle weight and cocking rod clasp which sidelined it for quite some time. Once I install a vortec kit and replace the trigger in the LGU who knows. Will probably never sell either though and that’s a pretty big deal.

how is the noise level on those guns I have herd they are very quite, my hw98 is a tad loud for me looking for something a tad more quite.

As for actual db, I haven’t the slightest. To my ear, I find them pretty quiet. The LGV, to me, is the quieter of the two out of the box. There is no buzz or twang with either. Keep in mind they are both sub 12 fpe.

Thanks for your input on LVG. I’m having a lot of fun. Not only is it accurate but it’s dressed in a very nice beech stock. Saturday I had company in the field my shooting table is located. Almost turkey season. To bad I can’t use her for turkey....
