I wouldn't call them unproven. The USRAC plant was a gashing wound losing money for FN. As soon as they closed it the tooling was moved to FNMI where the PBRs and SPRs resumed production. Take a look at the FNH USA website and poke around a little. Remember that the SPR underwent a torturous round count with retained accuracy test to gain the FBI contract.good luck w/ that - that still puts realistic street price very close to $850 and up. for that kind of money, i'm building my own. and for the new, unproven winchester to come out and go directly head-to-head w/ the refined sako and super-accurate cooper...? hmmm... could be a short life for the m70.
Hard to call that unproven. Actual retail will be only slightly more than what new Remington 700 CDL rifles sell for considering that Remington MSRP on those rifles is from $931 to $984. I'll spend $100 more for a Winchester with a full length claw extractor built at FNMI.http://www.fnhusa.com/products/firearms/model.asp?fid=FNF006&gid=FNG005&mid=FNM0024
The SPR successfully passed a 10,000 round endurance test while achieving sub 1/2 MOA performance.
