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.
