I don't think this weapon was desingned by FN. Its probably only marketed (and made?) by FN in some countries especially the US for some small company. They have done the same in the past for a small French company. The US Military procurement process is a labyrint and FN has the experience and the connections.

I also saw a bunch of competition guns (like the FNAR with the long range iron sights and SLP competition, and their new over-under competition gun).
Everyone knows FN can make an accurate bolt rifle (A3G anyone?) so hopefully this one will take off as well
Looks similar to some other rifles out there

I thought it said it was made of "lighter" polymers etc... I'd expect it to weigh less than 17lbs. That's a hefty rifle to haul around (in my opinion). Originally Posted by SgtStrykerUSMC43

One word, hyphenated: Heh-vee!

I figured as much. Had one. It shot like sh*t. Expensive, and a hard lesson learned. It was the 'Ultima Ration Intervention'. Fancy name for a doorstop... Originally Posted by solidarnosc

I got to shoot this at SHOT this year. had the .308 set up with a S&B scope. nice gun. 5/5 on steel 1000 yards out. FN guys were saying that 8500 was expected MSRP. lot of jack but you would prob be the only guy at ur range with a ballista
thx/tjc.md
