Winchester XPR

Huh, well what do you know! Looks like a couple of the Shot Show Specials have those barrels on them. I personally don't think it's a good sign as the FN barrels have been very good historically, cheapening an already cheaply made rifle is never a good thing.
And what in the hell is this thing?

The XPR Sporter looks like a fun one in 6.5 Creedmoor.

I have a pair of the AB3's, 308 and 270, they are pretty decent and well made actions. The AB3 comes factory bedded and has a few other minor differences like traditional threaded barrel and recoil lug, double stack mag, tang safety. I'd get another in 6.5CM but I already have too many 6.5x55's as it it.

I was close to grabbing one of the weird camo 6.5xpr, North Pro has a bit of a sale...
I'd prefer if they went Savage 10 style with a recoil lug washer rather then the floating Savage Axis type affair.

AB3 is the same price, nicer lines, and I already have extra mags...torn lol.

But they both still lack the quality of my much cheaper BSA CF2 in 6.5x55, or HVA's, Howa, etc...too many 6.5x55's lol
