    FN PBR 24" - good rifle?

    Any PBR owners here? I love the Winchester 70 and its action, so I figured my first tactical rifle might as well be built on that action -- and so I found the PBR. How do these compare in out-of-box accuracy to the Remington 700P and other competitors? For those who do have a PBR, did you have to make any adjustments and modifications, and if so, how well does yours shoot? Thanks.

    Good choice of rifle I to have been looking at the pbr as a cheaper option to the fn spr which is an awsome rifle and the pbr should perform closely...I would be interested to here input also.. here is a link to a reviewhttp://www.fnhusa1.com/PDF/reviews/0712gunworld-pbr.pdf

      If aftermarket support is something you may want, go with the remington. The pbr is a decent rifle don't get me wrong, but it doesn't have the parts and accessories available that are out there for 700s. If you must have a model 70 receiver, then fn is your choice.

          I haven't heard too much about their PBR line but their SPR line has a pretty good reputation. If they have the same quality as the SPR line then they are good to go. Also I dont think they have the option for a long action on their PBR line
