Historical profile
Introduced in 2003 by FN USA to replace the venerable Remington 700 Police in many U.S. police forces.
Based on the controlled-feed Winchester Model 70 action (acquired by FN), it delivers sub-MOA accuracy thanks to a free-floated barrel and fibreglass/polymer chassis.
Widely adopted by SWAT, FBI HRT and U.S. tactical units, it is offered in A1/A2/A3/A4/A5 variants with different stocks and configurations.
