“We don’t have a price on the HS Precision FCR, but it looks like a well-thought-out F-Open rig.”

I disagree.

This “F-class” rifle reminds me of the Browning A-Bolt “Target”.

In both cases the manufacturers went ahead blindly and ended up designing a rifle NO ONE will buy. A 9.3 lb. F-Open rifle with three sling swivle studs and a 26″ tube? Really? And all this for 30% more than it ought to cost.

The people that make descisions at these companies have never shot an F-class match. Even a nube would know better. Clueless.

This rifle is DOA.

IIRC Their actions are rem based with Winchester style safeties.

Great to see the factory F-Class options growing, but a magazine for F-Class?? Blued/Parkerized Actions and barrels?? Fluting??

Not very well researched I’d say.

Looks like a Winnie. That – and chrome moly barrel won’t make it.

A DBM-fed repeater for F-Class?

Flutes are so 1997.

That red gun does not fit into any definition of an F-Class gun that I’ve ever seen. The Savage F-Open and F/TR guns are probably a much better bet if you want an out-of-the-box gun for F-class.

Are those Winchester actions?
