[QUOTE="Viking264, post: 1359025, member: 97833"] Wondering what those of you who have either a.) owned a custom rifle built on an FN post-WWII action; or b.) had one built to your specs on an FN post-WWII action, saw in terms of achieved accuracy with careful hand load development. The topic of building a target rifle on a Mauser 98-type action has been covered extensively all over the internet; I'm specifically asking about the FN actions which featured the solid left wall of the receiver. It is understood (by me) that such a build is going to incorporate the "standard" measures of improving accuracy, such as lapping, truing, squaring, replacing the trigger/firing pin/firing pin spring, bedding, and using a quality barrel. Yes, this sort of project will cost more than a Tikka or Savage, both of which are generally very accurate right out of the box. It's more of a question of potential based on the FN action, less of a question of cost, so please try to refrain from the replying with, "Why would anyone want to undertake such a project when you can buy a new [insert brand and model here] for considerably less?" Anyone? [/QUOTE]
