    Used FN SPR A5M XP or Tikka?

    FN SPR-A5 XPs are 1:10" twist and have the threaded muzzle. Also has the larger bolt knob and TBM magazines. Otherwise it is the same as the previous SPR-A5M. Confirm with the seller that the catalog part number is either 75638 or 75640 and its an XP.

    6.5 CM vs .260 Rem

    After the last decade, I am surprised and reassured that this is still a debate. I chose .260 Remington early in and after some time I began to think I bet on the loser. It works fine for me, but like the .244 Remington versus the .243 Winchester back in the 1960s, I thought it would not make...

    T/C Dimension Rifle - Caliber Conversion

    Well, if there is good news, the magazines are shared with the T/C Venture which is still in the line. They only show it in short action lengths, though.

    T/C Dimension Rifle - Caliber Conversion

    Can you tell if the B and C bolts are the same except for the bolt guide/stop groove? T/C may have changed the size or dimensions of the bolt head slightly along with the barrel extension so a B bolt can only go into a B barrel. Perhaps done to sell more bolts or to keep it simple for the...

    T/C Dimension Rifle - Caliber Conversion

    I have a T/C Dimension in .223 Remington. I bought it simply because I was intrigued by the concept. In the end of 2017 when they were giving $75 rebates on them is when I purchased it, so the investment was not great. I had no need for it at all. I always planned on other calibers to...

    Winchester Model 70. Good place to start?

    I agree 100% with this. If the scope holds solid zero and tracks well, you'll be fine. Then upgrade to one with more capability and the features you need based on your experience from shooting $1,000 of ammo. However, if the scope does not track, return to zero, or does not hold zero at all...

    Winchester Model 70. Good place to start?

    WhiteFeather338, If you are in the St. Louis area, you are actually quite close to a very good shooting club/facility: Bench Rest Rifle Club of St.Louis in Wright City, Missouri. About an hour from downtown STL, west on I70. It is a private club that has numerous rifle ranges, one has 300...

    1980 + M40 A 1 sniper rifle ?

    In my experience with M-40A1s from 1994 through 2002, the rifles were very good shooters. Initially, we did not realize how good they shot until M118LR showed up. Prior to that we only had M118 Special Ball. If you could put all three shots of a group into a 1" paster at 100 yards, you were...

    FN TSR XP Scope Base

    TSR-XPs initially came with Near bases. At some point, FN made the bases for TSRs and SPRs themselves. These bases are not marked. TSRs would have never been made with Badger bases. Only the very earliest SPRs had Badger bases. If looking for a replacement base for a TSR-XP, look for...

    FN TSR XP - Alternate trigger

    FN TSR XPs will have the MOA trigger. Easiest way to tell without disassembly is look at the striker engagement with the sear. If the knotch on the striker is square, you have an MOA trigger. If it is angled, you have the older-style Two Lever trigger found on older M-70s, SPRs and PBRs...

    Anyone have a source for FN SPR action screws?

    Midwest Gun Works does have the correct M-70 screws in stock. There are numerous M-70 screws, so picking the right one from the website can be a gamble without the correct part number. FN SPRs (PBRs and TSRs) share the same screws and part numbers as the certain M-70s. Search and/or ask for...

    Help! Winchester 70 bottom metal?

    Can you post some photos of the bottom metal in relation to the stock's inlet? Might help identify what you have. The inlet might be for the two-piece bottom metal assembly used on some Winchesters.

    little advice from your personal experience on a bolt rifle??

    An SPR-A1 and TBM Conversion Kit would get everything you want from FNH. Add bedding from a good gunsmith and you should have the .5 MOA version of what you want (maybe even without bedding it). The McMillan A3 non-adjustable it comes with will serve you well until you get the Manners, if that...

    FNH Patrol Bolt Rifle

    Perdurabo, As you may have gathered, there are two different PBRs being referred to. One is the earliest version, the PBR, that you evidently own. The other is the later PBR-XP. To confuse the issue even more, these were replaced by the TSR-XP. Here is a little background and the...

    Playing with the new toy - Eberlestock

    Glen Eberle used to make a very similar chassis for the FN SPR/M-70 SA. Perhaps he still does. The magazine well accepts TBM mags. If I remember correctly, it does not require modification to the barreled action.

    FN SPR A5 XP release date?

    Sorry for the delayed response. I don't get to the Hide often anymore. I don't have any update on the SPR-A5 XP delivery date. When I do, I'll let you know.

    Thank You Leo Conring! Warning Pic Heavy.

    I had the pleasure of shooting some of Sgt. Conring's rifles when I was in the Corps. He does outstanding work. I am very happy to see him building more M-40s, A1s or A3s, A3/5s, or whatever they're up to now. He knows how to build a very good rifle. I'm sure it'll shoot as good as it...
