So it's taken a long while but I finally managed to find some time away from work and family to get my completed FN SPR out to the range. This has caused me to realize one major fact, I still have a lot to learn about precision shooting.
First, the specs:
Threaded and Fluted 24" FN SPR A2/A4 from Tactical Coordination in .308 Win
- CDI Bottom Metal
- Badger Bolt Knob
- KMW Loggerhead install by stockdoc
- JEC Customs .308 Muzzle Brake
Bushnell XRS 4.5-30x34mm (Special thanks to Jason at EuroOptic)
- Spuhr 0MOA Mount (Bought from Mile High)
At the moment i'm shooting through a small stockpile of 168 Gr FGMM I had bought for it. I had intended to do a load workup today but the wind was blowing my target all over the place and I couldn't get consistent hits anywhere. I'll have to try again when there is significantly less wind. The group pictured was a 10 shot group (168 FGGM) to verify zero and ensure that everything was working correctly. It measures just above 1.1 MOA.
The rifle is definitely sub-moa capable although I'm not quite there yet with it. I can easily keep 1/2-3/4 MOA groups with my Tikka T3 Varmint in .223 so I think its just a matter of getting used to the rifle.
Overall, i'm really happy with all the equipment listed. Can't wait to get a good load worked up for it to see what its really capable of!
Apologies for the quality of the pictures. They're the best I can do for now.
