FNH Introduces Ballista Precision Sniper Rifle

Not sure if any one else had seen this. Very interesting. I didn't know that FN was working on this, in addition to the Mk20 SSR. I would love to know more about it. Do tell if you have additional info.[/url]

How much you wanna bet it has the same trigger as the SSR?
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-Dan

For a .338 Lapua? It's about the same weight as the Accuracy International AWSM IIRC. Originally Posted by SgtStrykerUSMC43

The trigger being switch from 2 stage to 1 stage sounds like the same idea the SSR trigger had right?-Dan

The TRG-42 is lighter and the recoil firing a 250 grain projectile @ 2950 fps was pleasant. And when I say pleasant, I mean it. I attribute the recoil reduction to the efficient brake. Originally Posted by djv38

Starting at 17lbs, and going north from there with optic, rings, base(s), bipod, and now you're approaching the lighter.50 caliber bolt-guns.
It's due to all that metal incorporated into the chassis.
