    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    I think the hardest part of those shots was the importance of the target and the place in history the shooter would take if successful. Ice water in one's veins. A simple timer in a competition will make me rush and make bad shots.

    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    I agree with the lone shooter being very possible. Not saying it is for sure, but the shots taken were not impossible considering the range <85 yards, the time frame established by the Zapruder film, and the capability of the rifle. While not a true precision rifle, Carcanos are capable of the...

    FNH action bolt knobs

    Turbo almost got it. PBRs are control round push feed (sliding plate extractor and non-coned breach), non-trued, but do have the same two lever trigger as the SPR. PBR-XPs have the non-rotating claw extractor of the SPR, coned breach, two lever trigger, but still non-trued. TSR-XPs have...

    PTS Championship Team Match

    Ryan, Scott and their crew ran another very challenging, yet enjoyable match. It is clearly well thought out and designed. I really appreciate the open-air After Action Review while it is all fresh in our minds. Excellent idea. Clearly, they do not sit on their laurels; they strive to...

    If you can inlet a stock for bottom metal, go for it. If you have never inlet a stock for bottom metal or bedded an action, have a gunsmith with this experience handle it for you.

    FN PBR / Hinged conversion / Wood Stock

    No problem. In fact, most Winchester M-70 short action hinged floorplate magazine assemblies made to feed .308 based cartridges would fit on the PBR. Some of these will be a combination of aluminum and steel assemblies. The SPR hinged floorplate assemblies will be all steel, one-piece...

    Badger M5 in a Winchester 70/ FN?

    Some clarity: True pre'64 M-70s are all long actions. "Classic" (CRF) M-70s made in the 1990's and later can be either short or long action. The TBM Kit will fit short action M-70 actions very well, to include push feed short action M-70s. Of course, the stock inlet for the bottom metal...

    FN PBR / Hinged conversion / Wood Stock

    Dave, I have seen several members with SPR-A3Gs convert their hinged floorplate magazines to a DBM of one kind or another. Their left over hinged floor plate magazine assembly would work on your PBR if you are staying with a .308 or .308-based cartridge. Maybe you could post in the "want to...

    Help with FN SPR

    SRT M4, That is a good looking color scheme on your SPR. I really like it.

    My first precision rifle

    Re: My first precision rifle For those interested: The SPRs are test fired in the stocks they ship with. It is one of the last steps in the build process, as you might imagine. They are test fired for accuracy off the shoulder of a range technician using a bench and sand bags inside the 100...

    Winchester Classic Sharpshooter M70

    Re: Winchester Classic Sharpshooter M70 I'd agree on the date being wrong. Claw extractors did not come back until 1992. Stock looks like HS precision to me, but photo is slightly out of focus. Could be custom shop, but not before 1992.

    Value of FN SPR factory DBM?

    Re: Value of FN SPR factory DBM? Dan, Midway USA shows the TBM Kit in stock. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/...round-magazines And the action for $500 shipped is a pretty good price. Grab it before someone else does. The old CDNN days are past.

    PBR & TSR-XP actions

    Re: PBR & TSR-XP actions Dan, I think most folks would agree the older, simpler two-lever is better. The MOA trigger is also very adjustable and works very good. It more of a sealed unit than the two-lever and is certainly not as simple. They are not interchangeable. Most aftermarket...

    PBR & TSR-XP actions

    Re: PBR & TSR-XP actions The PBR and TSR-XP actions will fit the same stock inlet, unless there is a tight fit around the trigger, in which case there might be some internal fitting required to fit the larger and more forward MOA trigger of the TSR. Barrel contours remained the same. To...

    New look to my FNAR

    Re: New look to my FNAR Ace, The Browning ShortTrac Stalker forearm likely will not work on either of the FNAR barrel contours because they are larger. Might work on an FNAR Standard but would need some fitting. The largest Browning barrel is still smaller than the smallest FNAR barrel...

    FN Ballista

    Re: FN Ballista Jon, sure thing. I am pretty sure I will be tied to the Ballista kiosk the entire show except for a meeting or two here and there. Stop on by. To all, feel free to stop by and introduce yourself as a Hide member. It is good to put a face to a screen name.

    FN Ballista

    Re: FN Ballista TTR, the rifle will weigh 14.3 pounds out of the box, unloaded. Add a full magazine of eight .338 rounds and it weighs 15.1 pounds. Add your scope, rings, bipod to that for fighting weight.
