Well, about 2 months after it first arrived, I finally had all the parts here, assembled and ready to go. The parts:
FN SPR A1
Leupold VX-III 3.5-10 M3 FFP
FN Scope Rings
Harris Swivel Bipod
Accu-Shot precision mono pod (for good 100yd zero stability)
Quick Cuff sling
Federal 168 GMM
I went into today with very high expectations, and she didnt disappoint me. See picture bellow for reference to shot numbers. these shots at 100yds. Shot #1 was to confirm boresight, it was close enough, so I went to zero elevation, and fired shots 2-4 which grouped at .875MOA. My POA was the number 7 on the target, the shots were roughly 1.75mil too high. I incorrectly did the math from MIL to MOA in my head, dialed it in and fired shot #5, realized what I did, I corrected and fired shot #6. I dialed in the windage and proceeded to shoot a 10 shot group at the number 8 on the target. The first 3 of that group confirmed my windage adjustment and measured 1/2MOA :shock: with the final 7 shots measuring 1MOA while firing as quick as I could.
Excited, I moved to 200 yards and fired 3 shots which grouped at .875"=sub 1/2MOA
. To see if it was a fluke I fired two 5 shot groups on a new target (see below) the first measured 1.5"=.75MOA and the second measured .875"= sub 1/2 MOA. You can also see where as I was in my firing sequence a friend tapped me on the shoulder and I really pulled one. :-x
I am very impressed with this weapon. They are not lying when they say that this is a sub MOA even sub 1/2 MOA rifle when you really do your part. The rifle has no modifications except a lightened trigger and with that Leupold scope, its is very accurate. The BDC turrets allow for quick elevation changes and are marked every 100 yards from 100-1000. The 20MOA base combined with the massive 45MOA elevation will let me get to 1000yds quickly and easy .
As for the rifle, its controlled round feed is amazing, equally as impressive as the claw extractor. The McMillan stock fits perfectly in my hand and my shoulder and the chromed barrel is a breeze to clean. THe detachable magazine (what many consider to be the weakpoint of a tactical rifle) functioned flawlessly no matter how slow or how quickly I cycled the bolt, never a stuck round or anything.
I bought this rifle with the intention of taking it out of the box and be able to shoot great groups at great ranges and two months after I did buy it, I finally got to do that today (mid-range i.e. 600 and greater yards will happen next weekend). This setup was pretty expensive but worth every penny. And being a multiple FN weapon owner, I know that this thing will be reliable and repetable for a good time to come. All in all a great investment in a great weapon. A couple more pics for you to enjoy:
