Paradox Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I must dare to be different! "Everyone" has a Remmy (or Accuracy International ) of some type, but I am looking into purchasing a FN SPR series rifle. Availible with Detachable Box Magazine, 24" barrel, .308Win or .300 WSM, 1-12" twist barrel, McMillan Stock... Cost should be $1,300 to $1,400. On the other hand, the extra dough spent on this rifle would get some nice upgrades on the 700P... Can be seen here: FN A1 SPR & FN A2 SPR Does anyone have first hand opinions on this rifle, (accuracy, fit, finish, etc...)? Thanks in advance!

rhino Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I think it's a cool idea! I'm looking forward to reading about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Smith Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 A friend of mine has one, used for SWAT duty. He likes it a lot, and it's accurate. Trigger needs adjustment from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 Nice, so I have one positive opinion. Any other references to the accuracy? I am looking for statements like - with Federal GM ammo I shot 1/2MOA... Thanks for the reply Zak. Anyone else ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I'd be VERY interested to hear an accuracy report on the A2: Features a Pre-'64 Winchester®-type action with claw extractor and controlled round feed and a three-position safety. The FN A2 SPR has a 24" chrome-lined barrel, a McMillan A4 tactical fiberglass stock and your choice of a detachable box magazine or hinged floorplate (300 WSM only available with floorplate).

michael_aos Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I read about these a little when I was looking for something to play MOR side-matches. Nobody seemed to know anything about them though, so I shied away. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Smith Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 If I wanted a 308, I'd probably just buy one of these based on my friend's report. Anyone who wants the 1st hand info, email me and I'll send you his contact info. I'm looking for something in 6.5 or 7mm, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
