FN SPR Rifle actions any good? (AKA model 70 Short action)

I noticed CDNN has short action FN SPR actions for sale for a little under $400. Are These actions worth the $$$? Does anyone know what overall length you can load to and still fit in the magazine? My memory is foggy on this subject, but I think I read somewhere that these actions are a little beefier than the standard model 70. Can anyone verify this? All opinions appreciated, but informed opinions especially appreciated. Thanks, Matt

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

I have bought them and they are very good. CDNN is all out of them. The ones I did were very true in the lathe! The box will fit about 2.8 if memory serves me.

This is the one I just finished for my wife.
