FN PBR

[fury2neon]

I acquired this FN PBR a few weeks a ago and just got the chance to shoot it today. Joe (HeroGear) had been bugging me to post this when I bought it but my camera wasn't working .

I love the way this rifle shoots. And the little but of cushion sure beats the steel plate that makes up the butt stock of my 8MM Mauser.

.308 Win?

.308 Win?

But of course

Was the recoil bad?

Was the recoil bad?

Not at all but then I was comparing it to the recoil from my Mauser, which thanks to the steel butt plate has no cushioning at all.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Could this be used for hunting you think?

[fury2neon]

Yes, it can absolutely be used for hunting. It has a 4 round clip and you can get it with a recoil reducer on the 16" and 18" rifles.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

The only reason I asked, was because of the bipod! But I guess it could be used as well.

It looks like it has a bull barrel. Does it?

[molonlabetn]

It appears to be a heavy-profile, but not quite a bull-barrel. It has some taper.

I'd love to compare this to my Remington 700VS in 308. They look a lot alike.

At least it's not a Mosin M-44 shooting 7.62x54R Heavy Ball when you're wearing a thin t-shirt because it's July and 110 degrees outside in the middle of Texas...

I feel your pain. I was shooting yesterday in a thin t-shirt because it way to hot for this cubicle jockey. Those t-shirts just don't add any padding.

Yep, it heavy profile but not a bull barrel.
