Just got back from the range with the new scope.
Love the way these rifles shoot.

nopeI picked up a used FN SPR barreled action last year. The round count on the action is around 6500. SAC reworked the action and installed a new barrel after about 5000 rounds.
I know absolutely nothing about FN SPR / WIN 70 actions and I am contemplating having a new 6.5 CM barrel spun up for it. Question for those on this thread...are there things I need to watch for or be concerned about with a FN action with this high of a round count?
That is an absolutely gorgeous rifle.Upgraded the glass on mine. 4-32 NX8 mil-c.

Thanks for the info and the note of caution.@Smitty192 No. See my previous posts. Only thing I would be concerned about is men hitting on you because you are shooting a 6.5.
Amazing looking rifle. Sorry if you said already but what bolt knob do you have installed?Upgraded the glass on mine. 4-32 NX8 mil-c.

Thanks, it’s the factory XP model knob.Amazing looking rifle. Sorry if you said already but what bolt knob do you have installed?
Have CDI do the install and stay with the aics. The magpul mags work but, you are tied to them and I have had feed issues with certain cartridges.last night did a little research on the CDI kit. You have a choice of magazines. Those who have please answer a couple of questions.
1. AICS mags or Magpul magazines on SPR?
2. Is it a SPR diy home project or for a gunsmith?
3. If it needs a professional install- CDI will install kit at no charge, just have to send the stock or entire gun- local Smith or CDI?
4. Depending on 3- entire rifle or stock?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Isn't CDI closed due to the death of Jeffrey Allen?Have CDI do the install and stay with the aics. The magpul mags work but, you are tied to them and I have had feed issues with certain cartridges.
Not sure about that. I had mine done years ago.Isn't CDI closed due to the death of Jeffrey Allen?
Well crap. ThanksYes, no more cdi after he died a couple years ago
If someone can resurrect the one from CDI it may give it a run for the money.The tbm from FN is pretty nice though
We just have to accept that FN hates us. The PBR was a SPR poors version in a hogue stock with a non-chrome lined barrel. Might be a cheaper alternative and then find a take off stock, or have McMillan make you a new one.FN seems to not care about civilian rifle sales. I’d like one personally as well. I still regret selling mine.
Woodland camo is my favorite camo pattern from Mcmillan. I have an spr action, factory trigger and Williams bottom metal. Was thinking a McMillan classic hunter stock and #3 barrel. But after reading the vintage sniper rifle thread on these actions I may go in that direction with a htg stock.We just have to accept that FN hates us.

move been considering getting a woodland camo HTG made for a SPR.
I'm looking for one. I had one a few years ago and sold it like a dumb a$$.
I’ve considered selling one several times over the years, but I always put it back in the safe. It would cost double to build out a same rifle with the same capabilities.I'm looking for one. I had one a few years ago and sold it like a dumb a$$.
Read through the thread. Not sure what page it's on but someone had found a gun shop that had a few of them new in box for a good if not great price. May still have some.

I’m running 6.5 cm and 6GT from tbm with stock unmodified mags with no issues at all.The tbm from FN is pretty nice though
Which cartridge?I have had issues with the tbm 10 round mag. I finally got it to feed decent by bending the feed lips. Now I can get any more 10 round mags.
Hell might have got a damaged or bad mag. Have not seen an issue with 308 unless someone messed up the mag.It is 308.
I’ve had to do that and have replaced springs in some also but they get a lot of wear so expect that.No problems with the feed lips on my FN 10 rnd mags but I did stretch the spring and the work great!
Nice group, I also use ARC rings , how do you like them?
What barrel length does your SPR have ?
Mine is a 20" 1n12 fluted and likes 178 ELD-X , 175 SMK , 168 Berger Hybrids and 155 Sierra Palmas so far!
How do you like the NX8?. I'm using a GEN II Razor on mine!
