You are right about the recoil. BTW, I just broke it down and cleaned it last night (first complete cleaning). It took quite a while! I think cleaning and recoil are the two biggest disadvantages. |

Quote History.......... I am pretty impressed with the accuracy. .......... Keep in mind that the FNAR had accuracy problems when it was first released which gave it a bad rep. The article Peter G Kokalis wrote about his test example really savaged it. |

Mine was very accurate with all loads I tried in it.
I just disliked the 57 easy steps to dissassemble & clean it. The 9.5 lb weight (empty) was also a negative for me. Good gun and highly accurate though. |

I would have on if I did not already have a M1a they are dead nuts accurate with quality ammo. My BIL has one and it is a sweet shooter but mags are expensive and proprietary and owning a SCAR and M1a I do not want to add another 308 mag into the bunch unless it is an AR10

I love mine- accurate and soft shooting. Mags are expensive, but in the $1000.00 range, I would take it over anything else on the market. Of course, the SCAR 17 will be my next purchase.

I upgraded to the 17. Do it! And dont look back... Its a good bench rest/hunting firearm. I question its ruggedness and long term durability. Mine suffered a high rate of magazine and gun related malfunctions. The mags are expensive and fragile in my experience. Field stripping it is a complete bitch, with many small pieces of hardware. Its heavy. One of the worst gun purchases Ive made. |

I had a local smith fit my FNAR with a similar PWS brake. The braked FNAR was noticably softer than the 17, with less muzzle flip. I suspect that has mostly to do with weight though |

It's a Browning BAR in fancy clothing.
 Which evolved into the Winchester SXAR  Which became the FNAR  |
