My two girls are done, and shooting fine. Could not be happier with the way they shoot.

The A3 is a .308. The A4 is a 7wsm. Both built on FN SPR actions with CDI bottom metal.

Re: I've got a DeNiro thing!

The 7wsm has a Rock M24, 9 twist, at 24".

The .308 has a Border M24 or similar, 11 twist, Kampfeld fluting, at 25".

Both rifles function flawlessly and shoot accurately and consistently. I could not be any happier with the performance.
 
Re: I've got a DeNiro thing!

i really like it. i want to build one on an fn action as well. i just dont have the wallet for it right now.
 
Re: I've got a DeNiro thing!

SHHHHH!!! The sistas are extremely possessive!!

D- Any chance you heading up to Reade on May 2-3?

 
Re: I've got a DeNiro thing!

Badger FTE brakes. The require gunsmithing in order to install. They not only screw on, but they time via a clamping collar. Also, all these brakes come at some minimum size and need to be bored out to the correct diameter for the bore.

I think they're pretty darn effective. Also are cool for switch barrels so timing is easy.

Spend the College fund--hell these ARE the college fund!!

The 7WSM is by far the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. I am shooting 175 SMKs and no matter what load I shot changing powder and seating depth, the rifle EASILY shot under 1/2" at 100. The typical 5 shot group at 300 had 3 shots through a ragged hole and two outside that group that are due to shooter error (wind or trigger

)---bringing the group size to 1-1.5".

Take a sip of the 7 WSM KoolAid---I think you'll like it!!

Nice rifles BTW!!! I cant wait to get my 7WSM done.

19Scout77......I noticed that you are in NJ....Do you shoot at Cherry Ridge? I have been shooting there for years. Great place with lots of different ranges. We could get together and burn some powder. Cheers Mack.

Hey Mack- I'm there with my buddies pretty much one day every weekend. But this weekend is clean-up, and next weekend we'll be a Reade. Shoot me a note next time you are heading down.
 
Re: I've got a DeNiro thing!

Eric, great looking rifles. Look forward to shooting with you at Cherry Ridge.

Re: I've got a DeNiro thing!

Is that 5-25 S&B a CC turret or is it turned to zero on the first turn? (yellow zone) I wasnt aware they made a cc turret on the 5-25.

BTW both rifles look great....Badger FTE brakes are the bomb!

The 5-25 has a CCW turret. Premier did the turret change and installed a GenII XR.
 
Re: I've got a DeNiro thing!

I have one of the Badger FTE brakes, but this is the first time I saw one with the TETE on it.... Are they offered either way, or are the TETE ones caliber specific? Very nice rifles & glass!! Also like the fully modded Harris's!!

I think the TETE is a Chinese knock-off!!!

Actually that is one of two that I purchased directly from Marty, so I'm thinking its real. Just a different inscription.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Anybody notice what 3 things are wrong with the way the rifles are set up??? A little game.</span>
