I'm getting into the long range side of shooting and I'm looking for a general purpose long range rifle. I want something that I can use at the range and that could carry me into a little light competition. I'm looking pretty hard at an FN SPR but I have a few reservations about the details. Here's a list of things I'm pondering and I hope some of you more knowledgeable folks will be able to help me out.
Does FN really have a lifetime warranty on the SPRs? Does that include barrels, even 300 WSM?
I'm planning on getting something with a detachable box magazine. It looks like FN has a double stack 10 rounder which is ideal. However what's the max cartridge length that it can accommodate? Would a round like the 300 WSM be hamstrung by having it's max length cut down?
Anyone heard of any plans at FN to offer a .260 Rem SPR?
Thanks,
Mark
edit. How realistic would it be to get a 308 Rifle and have a .260 Rem barrel made for it that would allow me to switch between them in my own shop?
