Wanting a long range toy!

[Tactical Joke]

Good actions but FN has had some QC issues with the chrome lined barrels , some shoot and some don't . The other issue is aftermarket parts availability , just isn't as much as the Rem \ Rem clones and Savage . Also to add a detachable mag the receiver must be milled for clearance .

They did have problems with the factory in the northeast. They moved it down South--with some overflow to Spain--and things have been good to go ever since that time, to my knowledge.

I'd argue that many of the aftermarket doo-dahs we buy for the R700 aren't necessary on the SPR, because it already does things 'right.' I will acknowledge stock availability is lacking, but that's about the only thing seems to be lacking for me.

But hey, it's great that we still have choices.

The barrel problems are still going on, you just don't hear about them because their market share is tiny and mostly LEO.

The caliber selection is shit because of the way they source the barrels, you can have all you want as long as it is 30 cal.

The parts, IE magazines, are pretty much proprietary and availability is hit or miss.

Yeah, what's not to like?
