    What choice to make? TRG-22 or FN SPR .308

    Re: What choice to make? TRG-22 or FN SPR .308 I've got an A3G and I'm quite happy with it. My best 5 shot group so far at 100 yds is .27 inches and the weakest link in the system is me. It's nice to have the chrome lined barrel capable of that kind of accuracy. However I did send it in...

    Neck Turning w/ Redding Dies

    Re: Neck Turning w/ Redding Dies Thanks for the info. Heck if I can avoid neck turning well that saves money and time. I'll try it without to start and work on all the rest of it first, then I can play around with that if needed later.

    Neck Turning w/ Redding Dies

    I'm just getting into reloading and have Redding bushing dies on hand. Logically I can see where neck turning would help with consistency, however I'm wondering how much difference it typically makes with this set up and decent brass. I like small groups just fine but am not a bench rester...

    Why not the Winchester model 70

    Re: Why not the Winchester model 70 My FNA3G has the old style trigger and I believe all the SPR's do. These are also based on a classic action. Mine has a floor plate and feeding was actually pretty poor, but I had a gunsmith fix that. I'd like to eventually put DBM on it and its...

    Why not the Winchester model 70

    Re: Why not the Winchester model 70 It should also be noted that with the new trigger the current M70 takes a large detour from the pre-64's and M70 classic's. One of the main reason's for the success and popularity of these actions among hunters was the reliable trigger design. From what...

    Why not the Winchester model 70

    Re: Why not the Winchester model 70 The classic is not controlled round push feed, the classic is very similar to the pre-64 and in some ways better than the pre-64. The classic is actually controlled round feed. From my experience they can be plenty accurate. But unfortunately even these...

    Barrels with Chrome Lined bores question ....

    Re: Barrels with Chrome Lined bores question .... I've got about 3K rounds down my FN A3G 308 and its still shooting as good as ever - but I clean it after each range session! No break in though. Maybe the cleaning isn't necessary but I'm more comfortable doing it that way and don't mind...

    SPR Course

    Re: SPR Course I took a precision rifle class from Caylen last summer that was excellent. Haven't been to the new SPR offering but I'm sure it would be worthwhile.

    Fieldcraft How Many actual SHTF scenarrios in your lifetime?

    Re: How Many actual SHTF scenarrios in your lifetime? We live in interesting times. Commies and their ilk are openly talking trouble today in our Country. We have an extremely open society and let many people in that hate us and our way of life. Think Breslan or Mumbai could happen here...

    Gunsmithing Penrod Precision

    Re: Penrod Precision Wow that is quite a work of art. On a smaller scale, I recently had Mark fix the feeding and trigger on my FN SPR A3G. He did great work for a reasonable price and the turn around time was good. I've literally never heard anything negative about him or his work. He is...

    Trigger for FN SPR

    Re: Trigger for FN SPR Wondering if FNH will replace barrels on the A3G once they are shot out and ballpark idea on cost? I've got a lot of life left in mine, only have about 2000 rounds down the chrome lined barrel, but just thinking ahead. In my case I am having the trigger and feeding...

    Beanland 18.5 Inch 6.5x47 Build Is DONE!

    Re: .308 or 6.5x47 For My Short/Light Build? In general a smaller diameter round needs a longer barrel to reach its potential. That's one nice thing about the 308, you can get decent results out of shorter barrel. You could do an 18 inch 6.5x47 and it could well have less wind drift than a...

    Member Link Up WA State range time

    Re: WA State range time I remember seeing it in the hunting regulations a while back, if that's changed for the better I'd be shocked. Haven't looked recently.

    Trigger for FN SPR

    Re: Trigger for FN SPR I forgot to mention that in my limited experience FN isn't the only place where you can find a heavy trigger. Dare I say I've got a GAP that came with a 4.5 lb trigger.

    Trigger for FN SPR

    Re: Trigger for FN SPR My A3G came with a crisp trigger pull north of 5lbs! I've finally decided to have a trigger job done on it. The feeding also was shaky, and I'm going to have that fixed. Oh yeah the threads on one of the inserts for the cheek piece failed in short order, but I don't...

    Member Link Up WA State range time

    Re: WA State range time No State restriction on mag capacity that I'm aware of, other than when hunting its 5 round max as mentioned above. I use 30 round PMAGS all the time. Each range is free to make its own rules and from what I've seen the closer you get to the left coast the more...

    Any builders here willing to shoot me a price?

    Re: Any builders here willing to shoot me a price? I have a Krieger in 308 and couldn't be happier with it. Listen to Terry Cross, he knows of what he speaks.
