"FN TSR Bolt Action: One of the Best" by Nutnfancy

The FN Tactical Sport Rifle or TSR XP performs and is made like a semi-custom bolt gun. The features list is impressive for the price: chrome lined [!], cold hammer forged and fluted barrel, controlled round feeding, steel bottom metal, included steel 20 MOA Picattiny M1913 rail attached with 8-40 screws, good trigger, Marine-Tex bedding in the excellent aluminum chassis Hogue stock, long bolt knob, and forged pre-1964 Winchester receiver. This is an amazing amount of gun and it held up its end in some hard core testing in TNP. The TSR bolt was flawless in operation, extremely smooth, positive, and fast. The Mauser CRF [CRPF in .223 chambering] controls the round when it leaves the magazine and makes sure it isn't dinged up, feeding it STRAIGHT into the chamber. Ejection was the best I've seen in a tested bolt action rifle yet and it blows away Remingtion and Savage in both positivity and sureness. A fixed blade ejector allows the shooter to vary throw distance with absolute predictability. The mags in .308 chambering hold 4 rounds, 3 in .300 WSM, 6 in .223. An expensive 10 rd mag conversion is available from FN but it will add weight. They are stainless steel, fed with 100% reliability, and they have a steel floorplate. The quick and reliable reloading of the TSR was yet another high point. The 5.5 lb trigger was good but not excellent, needing more lightness. It supposedly is adjustable [shown]. The CHF barrel delivering excellent accuracy with less than ½ MOA being delivered with the Fusion 180 gr .308 load. The FN chrome lining on the TSR does not impeded accuracy. It is truly a half MOA precision bolt gun with careful ammo selection. The "mid weight" contoured barrel is actually on the heavier profile side and withstood non-cool down shooting well. Weight is a substantial at 9.4 lbs for a 20 inch barrel, 9.8 lbs for 26 inch barrel [8.25 lbs in .223 20" barrel]. That's the price for the durable steel features of the TSR XP. Value iat around $1000 is excellent considering the performance and features. Mags will cost around $45, on par with others, and I suggest you own at least three for the gun. Only a few downsides exist: no barrel threading and the difficult-to-adjust trigger... that's it. The FN TSR XP features superior ISO 9001 quality levels and the respects shown, dominate its competition for the money you'll spend. A Hall of Fame Bolt Gun in TNP.///////////////////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9.5 out of 10 (10 if threaded with easy adjust trigger)//////////////////// TNP Gear and music at WWW.NUTNFANCY.BIGCARTEL.COM//////If you're a TNPr and mention that, you will get this gun for less at www.firearmsprostore.com/////////// TSR .308 Polished, signed shell casings at www.nutnfancy.bigcartel.com
