Fn fnar .308 feedback needed

[Clay]

Anyone have any experience with one of these? It's been staring at me for a few months and I'm thinking of going this route instead of an AR10. Reviews are great on Buds but there is only 3 submissions. I would appreciate any info ya'll had as well. Thanks- Clay

I've been looking at one too. I'm pretty sure it's just a tactical browning BAR.
I don't like that the barrel is a 1-12" twist though.
Let me know if you get one.

Why this route instead of AR10? AR10 has so much aftermarket support, can make it into whatever rifle you want it to be. just curious. I've handled the FNAR but never fired one. They feel like a quality rifle, great fit and finish.

The FN AR is a fine rifle, but they are extremely heavy, kick like a mule, and hard to stay on target with. I rented one at local range. I chose the AR10

Used AR-10 for sale at Buck and Bass yesterday. Heavy stainless bbl,etc,etc,. Didn't bother to ask the price. Had to be 12lbs+.

Steve,did you ever confirm that they come thru with a straight stock vs a pistol grip. That would be my choice if offered.

That 12 twist will be fine with the bullets of 168gr and less, but the 10 would be ..... mo-bedda. --- SAWMAN

Is that your rifle in the picture in your signature?!
