Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

stello1001
I finally put together this PBR I bought a while back. I had removed it from the stock in order to paint it. I came back home for the weekend and the stock is cured already.

I had a random LRTS on my bench and threw it on just to see how it would look. It goes well and the rifle itself makes for a nice lightweight hunting rifle. I’m not a fan of how the paint job came out. Too many greens! Oh well, still better than the all black.

I have a bunch of bottom metals. Some AI type, some TBM, and some of the flush fit that take the 4 round mags. They all ran flawlessly. The action is not opened up for AI mags. However, as stated previously, they will still run the MDT poly/metal mags with the window.

When I tested it out in a hogue stock previously, I noticed it’s my smoothest cycling rifle. The bolt just moves so effortlessly when feeding/ejecting. I may turn this one into a deer hunting 22gt or 22 dasher.

SOLD TFCT-33 Field Grade Tripod

JBELL74
Like new condition. Purchased as a TFC-33 Field Grade which had the 3/8" stud base. I mounted a spotter to it once and then installed the TFCT conversion kit in anticipation of putting another Anvil-30 on it. Changed direction and purchased a Bog DeathGrip for my non-ARCA rifles, so selling this as I don't need 3 tripods.

For anyone not aware, the field grade series have minor cosmetic blems, and I tried to capture an example in the last pic below. Zero impact to function.

Will also include the extra 3/8" stud base and a complete, unused second set of hardware from the kit. $old shipped to lower 48. Price is firm. Thanks.

hate to say so,but you are right FS. you might throw in Philippines,Cuba,banana wars,non mil meddling in China in 20s/30s,AFG,Iraq,Syria. truth is i don't think Truman had anywhere to with Korea,maybe Grenada and Gulf 1? think gulf 1 could have been handled differently but... i still am unsure about why we invaded Panama. always been unclear to me what the excuse and real reasons were.

IMO
Korea and Vietnam were both due to the Red Scare and keeping China in check in Southeast Asie
Grenada was basically a rescue mission of Americans
Gulf 1- Iraq/Kuwait on the outside looked like a rescuing of Kuwait from the unwarranted invasion from Iraq, (GHWB did handle that one correctly) reality was it was about the money/oil , couldn't have an unpredictable Saddam controlling the flow of oiL or destabilizing the ME (destabilization of the ME is our job)
Iraq was unnecessary, U.S. and the rest of the world had Saddam pinned in and surrounded to where he wasn't a threat to anyone except Iran, and who GAF about them .
Syria? Do we or have we ever had a good reason to be there?
Afghanistan was initially I thought was to try and capture/kill bin Laden . We ended up being there for how long at what cost in money and American lives? Did our leaders not study history and see that Russia, Hannibal , and others could never conquer or control that shithole?
Panama , who or what did Noriega really do to piss off to get invaded and removed?
U.S needs to focus on our country and the issues here that need taken care of to make our country and lives better.

Slow down now sport. Every brand goes back for warranty work . ZCO, TT, Vortex, Kahles, NF, S&B, March, Leupold. I know or have personally sent back multiple examples of all of them and that's a crazy small sample size. If you shoot you are going to see everything fail. If you want to shoot a brand that doesn't fail, you will be shooting open sights. It's why everyone who is semi serious has at least 2 scopes and why the customer service /warranty process is an important factor in choosing an optic.

This.

I know people who won't shoot ZCOs because of the issues they've had, so they shoot TTs instead.

People are so cliquish around optics it's pretty funny.

My order history worked fine (well you only get 2 years anyway and I don't buy much from them). I'm not a fan of the website, huge pictures, no option to put things in the cart from the index pages, no easy way to find demo/used stuff, but my failing eyes do appreciate the fact even I can read the page without reading glasses! I don't think it's that big of a deal, they can tweak it. That said I will never understand why companies pay tons of $ to replace perfectly good websites.

Do not cave to the new fear/bully trend that stores are doing where they try and manipulate you into paying them extra for insurance saying that if you don't you agree to not hold them liable for lost/stolen/damaged merchandise if you don't want to. The shipper is responsible for ensuring your purchased goods arrives safely and in the expected condition even if you don't pay insurance. This has come up a lot lately in various places and I've never heard a case where a credit card company did not side with the buyer on a charge back if something happens to your package before it arrives to you if you don't pay extra for insurance. Stores don't care because if even 50% of the people pay it, it's a ton of extra profit for them and a few charge backs are worth it. I don't even mind paying extra for some insurance on expensive/delicate stuff, but don't threaten me into doing it. Heck if you like the store and just want to give them a "tip" feel free, but understand that's all it is. Doesn't matter what they put on the checkout page that you have to click to agree to, or if you pay for insurance, the seller is responsible for your package getting to you safely, period.

It's basically the new tipping scam where regardless of how much or little service you get they put it in your face to tip them on the card swipe machine, except instead they put a threat on the bill that if you don't tip them and find rat shit in your food, it's your fault for not tipping them.

The other new trend I dislike (and Euro just sent me one) is stores that use abandoned cart emails, spamming you with emails after you poke around their website but don't buy anything. "Your cart is calling". All it does it make me want to is unsubscribe and ban their email address.

As always though vote with your $, if you don't like a stores practices, shop elsewhere.

If you think that shipping is bad, the other day I saw a store that was wanted $52 to ship two bricks of 22LR, and that was before the insurance!

Never said they didn’t I just simply said man look at the Theta experiences and that I have had a few of them myself. Thetas have had quite a few go back in fact they now have a reputation for it. Isn’t my opinion it’s fact in the prs community.
