    FN Ballista

    Re: FN Ballista That dealer clearly does not have the correct information about import laws. Initially, the Ballista will be in .338 Lapua with the other calibers available through kits.

    Experience Building off Winchester Action

    Re: Experience Building off Winchester Action For bottom metal on the M-70 SA, take a look at the FNM TBM Conversion kit. Does not require modification to the receiver. All steel assembly, 5 and 10 round mags. Feeds .308 based cartridges like a dream.

    Browning BAR Trigger

    Re: Browning BAR Trigger Mark Gordon at Short Action Customs has done a lot of FNAR triggers. They are basically the same as the Browning BAR triggers. Not alot can be done because of the design, but he would be able to get the most out of the trigger. It still may not be a bolt action...

    FN Ballista

    Re: FN Ballista The Ballista barrels are made by Unique Alpine. Previous TPG models have sported Lothar Walther barrels. All commercial FNH Ballistas will have Unique Alpine hammer forged barrels. .338 Lapua will have a 1:9 constant polygonal twist. .300 WM will be 1:10 constant polygonal...

    FN Ballista

    Re: FN Ballista Bobby, It is very unlikely that anyone has had any experience with the Ballista outside of FNH USA, Unique Alpine, or USSOCOM. It is just too new. It was at the media range event at leat year's SHOT Show, so some media people got to shoot it a little. Quite a few others got...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 6 5 20x50mm M5

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 6 5 20x50mm M5 I have three Leupold ER/T 6.5-20 with M-5 turrets, but with Mil Dot or TMR. Love them. They have yet to let me down. I'd only ask for a bit more vertical adjustment.

    model 70 inlet

    Re: model 70 inlet Yep. the Winchester WSM Actions in the Super Shadow are the Short Action length. Inlet would be the same. McMillan does the SPR WSM stocks, ask for that, should even fit your floorplate magazine with no fitting. Good luck.

    FN PBR

    Re: FN PBR TSR-XP is like the SPR in bolt and action: claw extractor, blade ejector, forged receiver, integral recoil lug and flat bottom. The SPR it trued, the TSR-XP is not. The SPR has the two-lever Winchester style trigger (pre-2008 Winchester), the TSR has the three lever trigger...

    FN PBR

    Re: FN PBR Jered at APA, Mark at SAC, Gerald at Custom Blue, Moon at Cresent Customs This is the short list. They all work on FN bolt rifles and produce amazing results. Pick one and make the call. If you need their contact info, let me know or do a quick search. However, any good...

    FN tsr xp questions

    Re: FN tsr xp questions Snow, You will likely not find any accessories, stocks, rails, bottom metal, etc for the TSR-XP specifically. Look for accessories that fit the FNH SPR or Winchester M-70 short action. McMillan makes stocks for the SPR, I believe Manners does as well. You may want...

    Any news on the FN SPR bottom metal...

    Re: Any news on the FN SPR bottom metal... TDOW, The DBM issue you refer to is likely the result of a latch tab that is positioned a little low. The front tab that is pressed out of the magazine body and the magazine catch grabs when inserted is too low on the mag body. Or more...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50 TMR

    Re: Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50 TMR That's good to know, Unknown. I have three 6.5-20x ER/Ts with the M5 mil turrets. They ride my SPR comp guns. My only complaint was the lack of a zero stop. They would benefit from a little more internal adjustment, too. Other than that, I can't...

    Any news on the FN SPR bottom metal...

    Re: Any news on the FN SPR bottom metal... Greyson, The installation of the TBM Kit on the SPR-A3G would require re-inletting the bottom metal only. The topside of the bedding should remain untouched. If the smith doing the work does a good job of it, it will likely not affect accuracy at...

    Need help with an FN bolt rilfe

    Re: Need help with an FN bolt rilfe TCW, My suggestion is to shoot it for a while, like you suggested in you first post. I think only you will know if you like the stock. You've seen two differing opinions on the stock already. The action is the same as the SPR, except that it is not...

    FN’s entry into the U.S. Special Operations Precis

    Re: FN’s entry into the U.S. Special Operations Precis Justin, I agree, with your assessment that much of the weight on these systems is in the aluminum chassis and all the things we like to adorn them with. Flexibility is the key to the balance of weight and utility. Three lugs typically...

    FN Patrol Bolt Rifle Questions

    Re: FN Patrol Bolt Rifle Questions Jim, Your PBR trigger can be adjusted by a qualified gunsmith. It is exactly like a Winchester two-lever trigger. The twist rate will be 1:12". Most M-70 accessories will fit the PBR, except scope mounts. Aftermarket triggers to replace the M-70...
