Priced at $1360.78, it’s a solid tool that doesn’t waste your money on frills.

Key Features
- Ultra-lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum receiver — Why it matters: keeps the rifle easy to carry all day on fence lines or in the field, reducing fatigue without losing strength.
- 16.5-inch 416 stainless steel barrel — Why it matters: delivers consistent accuracy for .308 Win out to 600 yards, and the stainless resists rust in wet ranch conditions.
- 15-inch MLOK handguard — Why it matters: lets you mount a light, bipod, or sling exactly where you need it, with plenty of real estate for accessories.
- A2 pistol grip and MIL-Spec trigger — Why it matters: keeps the price down and the controls familiar; you can swap the trigger later if you want, but it works fine out of the box.
- CA-compliant configuration — Why it matters: meets California legal requirements so you can buy it without a headache, and it still functions reliably for hunting or defense.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the rancher who needs a compact .308 that pulls double duty—coyote control from the truck and deer hunting on foot. It’s also for the rural shooter who wants a lightweight AR-10 that doesn’t break the bank. If you’re tired of lugging a heavy battle rifle around your property, the LMR Base is your answer.
Pros/Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at roughly 7.5 lbs—you can carry it all day without a sling.
- Pro: Patented POF gas piston system runs cleaner than direct impingement, so you spend less time cleaning.
- Con: The MIL-Spec trigger is serviceable but not match-grade; expect a 6-7 lb pull. Per POF specs, it’s built for reliability over precision.
