I’ve had my eye on one of these for some time now but I keep waiting for a dealer with a good price.
Then I came across these at http://www.whittakerguns.com/ar.htm for $2010 new.
I hope it’s the real deal because I’ve got one on the way. I thought this was too good to be true but they verified the model no. LM308MWSE
Total shipped to my dealer was $2075 including shipping and CC fee.
Other dealers are asking $2400 and up, not including shipping.
WOW…let us know when you get it, that is beyond a helluva price:eek:
Re: that link, am I missing it, or is it gone now?
i cant find them either.
Yeah they pulled it off the website today.
It was at the very bottom of the (L) section, in the pink shaded box.
It read “Lewis Machine & Tool LM308MWSE $2009.99”
Did you get in contact with the dealer to see if they actually have one in-stock at that price to ship you???
Yes, I’ve paid for it and it’s supposed to ship Monday.
Lucky man! Thats a great price:D
Keep us posted as to the transaction, that’s a good price.
I called and they are currently sold out as of last Saturday. More on order with no ETA.
Cheers
Whitaker’s is where I bought all of my guns when I was at Campbell. It was about an hour up Pennyrile Pkwy in West Owensboro.
I could get guns at wholesale through a shop in Clarksville and yet it was worth the drive because his shelf price is below wholesale on a lot of stuff. He has about 20 Million in inventory at any time. Maybe 5000 long guns on display and 2500 handguns, plus a huge warehouse of back-stock. On weekend people would drive like 8-12 hours to come buy guns and they would have folks directing traffic and there would be a wait to get in the door. This is a 40K sq.ft. showroom mind you…
They probably had to down size once you left… 
Whittaker’s is a great shop. What is great about it is that you can handle just about everything in the shop without having to find someone behind a counter to get one for you. Just go up to the rack and actually check out the gun that you want to buy.
I got some great deals up there when I used to live in Clarksville. Well worth the drive, chances are if it is available, he will probably have it or be able to get it pretty fast and his used gun racks usually have some fabulous deals.
I forgot to mention that Whitaker’s would not accept backorders however they advised to call back weekly until in stock. They also stated that price was just over $2K.

I called Whittakers to get a tracking no. for the LMT today and they also said no ETA with the ones on order.
They said a lot of people have been calling about them.
What Rear Sights are optimal if you plan to run a scope? What are you guys going with?
I plan on the usual, Troy.
The only rear sight I use, from 7.5" to 20", from .22LR to .308, is the KAC 600M (or Micro 600M). It’s extremely low profile, the aperture is very effective, and it’s unobtrusive if you like to run it deployed all the time (I don’t).
Troys are great, the low-pro MI sight is a great bargain, but I like the KAC personally.
Whats the diff between KAC regular and Micro. I’m thinking Micro. ?
Smaller mounting base and smaller windage knob.
