Model-FN Ballista/FDE .338 Lapua Magnum,discontinued in 2021,26"heavy bbl,side folding stock,1-8rd magazine,comes with extra bipod,NIB condition.The FN Ballista represents Fabrique Nationale's entry into the rapidly-expanding category of chassis-mounted, modular, high-precision rifles with switch-barrel capabilities. It competes with the likes of the Remington Defense Modular Sniper Rifle ("MSR"). In 2013, the MSR was named as the choice to become the new Precision Sniper Rifle of the U.S. Army and USSOCOM, demonstrating the significance that these organizations seemingly place on the modular system.
An aspect of modular rifles that makes them particularly user-friendly is that changing calibers can be performed very quickly in the field. The Ballista is able to undergo a caliber change (.338 Lapua Mag., .300 Win. Mag., .308 Win.) in less than two minutes. Additionally, the chassis, action, and adjustable trigger (single- or two-stage) of the Ballista have been designed to wring the best performance possible from the premium barrels, all of which measure 26 inches and feature polygonal rifling with a right-hand, constant twist rate.

8/24/2023 | ★★★★★ Funds cleared my bank the 17th. Ammo was to be sent to my address not the ffl which cost me 50 extra miles of riding. Had to ask for tracking numbers? 8/24/2023 | Funds cleared my bank the 17th. Ammo was to be sent to my address not the ffl which cost me 50 extra miles of riding. Had to ask for tracking numbers? | |

7/7/2023 | ★★★★★ Tim is awesome! My transaction with him was very smooth; he was friendly and took my card payment over phone (he reached out). The next business day (Monday), my Manurhin revolver was shipped and literally arrived the next non-holiday day after 4th of July (Wednesday). I highly recommend him and look forward to doing business with him and his shop potentially in the future!!! 7/7/2023 | Tim is awesome!

5/18/2023 | ★★★★★ Contacted the seller requesting addittional photos and they were happy to oblige. They called to tell me they still hadn't received my FFL (My FFL typo'd their email domain) and while that sounds like a small plus it was appreciated since it saved me at least the weekend and a couple days shipping time. All in all happy with the purchase but hard not to be with a rifle this pretty. 5/18/2023 | Contacted the seller requesting addittional photos and they were happy to oblige.
