    2nd time out with a MK20 and I'm getting pierced primers every 2-3 rounds

    FN has a small diameter firing pin and bolt assembly for SCAR Heavies in 6.5 CM. Contact them if you have a SCAR in 6.5 CM that pierces primers.

    T/C Dimension Rifle - Caliber Conversion

    No. I only have the one on the single rifle I own. Finding an aftermarket replacement is going to be impossible. Your only hope is to reach out to T/C.

    Sako S20 Precision Vs Seekins Havoc Bravo

    Avoid the Sako S20 at any price. There is a reason it is on discount. Go either of the other two options.

    Red flags?

    I only have experience with the Sako S20 and the Bergara Premier (LRP 2.0). Of these two, the Bergara is the clear winner. The Sako S20 is a terrible execution of what should be a good idea. The barrel is too thin for precision work and really barely able to squeak out MOA precision (for me...

    Model 70 question

    You're right, I got the Super Shadow confused with the Ultimate Shadow which came with the classic CRF action. Black Shadow appears to be the post 64 push feed action. Winchester has a decent past products page> https://www.winchesterguns.com/products/rifles/model-70/past.html Sorry for...

    Model 70 question

    Black Shadows came with push feed and a cheap all black plastic stock. The Super Shadow had CRF actions and the same stock except for grey molded in grip panels. The Super Shadow as also available in stainless and a camo stock. Not sure if the basic Shadow was available in stainless or with...

    FN PBR XP

    If the barrel is marked as PBR-XP, that is what the barreled action is/was. The twist rate for .308 will be 1:12". I was mistaken on the magazines for PBR-XP; they were also available with the hinged floorplate magazine in .308 Win. The XPs were not available with the black stock. That...

    FN PBR XP

    FN PBR was the hybrid control round/push feed action (sliding plate extractor), it came only in .308 and with the four round DBM magazine and black Hogue stock. The FN PBR-XP has the classic, control round feed action with claw extractor. These came with a green Hogue stock, fluted barrels...

    Identify This Remington 700

    I vote B. Scope, rail, bipod, paint job all point to an LE operator with some level of prior military or other professional training. DBM and bolt knob indicate to me the agency went outside (proficient gunsmith) for some additional upgrades to their stock rifles. Also curious as to the...

    Unertl Scope Question. Zeroing

    In my experience, we always zeroed at 100 yards. The adjustments for zeroing were done with the hex wrench in the center of the turrets. The only thing that made it challenging was the lack of tactile increments when zeroing. Getting a perfect zero was challenging at times. At one point...

    anyone shooting Remington 260?

    I chose .260 Remington just before the 6.5 Creedmoor took off and dominated the market. I don't regret my decision and have three rifles chambered for it. It's my favorite cartridge, bar none. However, I could not recommend someone who has two 6.5 Creedmoors to take on the .260 Rem as a third...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    @R Moran The magazine box appears to be correct for a short action cartridge. The ASLS will also work. Its the same, but stainless. Your follower is not correct. As Wipiti16b states, it should have a scallop in the top ridge at about its midpoint. The correct short action follower will be...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Try the rear action screw on the front. It is slightly longer. It could be your solution just to get a second rear screw. If it is too long, it will interfere with the bolt locking lug on closing. If so, just shorten it as needed.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    All SPRs, pre-XP in .308 were 1:12 twist. The SPR-XPs were 1:10 twist (also factory threaded muzzle, tactical bolt knob) .300 WSM was 1:10 twist, regardless.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    It was in the fall of 2010. So along time ago. If I remember right, it was two weekend matches (Labor Day and Columbus Day) with about 25 shooters each. Shooters had the option to buy their match-issued rifle at the close of the second match. It was a very neat experience. I think just...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Did anyone else here shoot the FN/USO/Corbon sponsored ASC when all competitors were issued an SPR with fixed 10x USO? 20" .308s with 1:12" twist, 10 power and 175gr SMKs. Somehow targets got hit.

    FN Ballista Light Primer Strike

    When this "all of a sudden" occurred, had the temperature dropped enough to require a coat when shooting? If so, it's very likely too much grease in the striker spring. Remove the striker assembly from the bolt assembly like you would do to change the bolt head. Spray the striker spring and...

    Win Mod70 Extractor Tuning

    Has this rifle always done this or did it develop over time or appear all at once? You also might confirm that it is the correct extractor. If you remove it, there is a mark on the under side near the tail end of it that identifies its exact type. Yours should be marked S-R for...

    Scar 20s step down barrel

    Yes, the new SCAR 20S in 7.62 NATO now have a straight contour. The new contour also indicates a 1:10" twist in 7.62mm. The "step down" contour is identical to the Mk20 barrel profile, including the 1:12" twist rate. It has been replaced by the new barrel profile. 6.5 Creedmoor has the same...

    Need help identifying this rifle

    Downtown, Thanks for that post and the link to Rock's letter. I was dealing directly with Wes Harris in 1993-4 when I bought my first precision rifle. It was a "G. McMillan and Company" M-86 chambered in .300 Weatherby. Had it custom made. It shot far better than I could for about 600...
