Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles I'm thinking about a PTR 91

I've got one - the PTR-91 Mil model. It's a good blasting rifle, eats anything in the magazine. Compared to a "true" HK, I can't tell the difference, and I haven't seen any parts issues, yet.

The chamber is fluted, your cases will get the HK "wrinkle" from firing.

I have the iron sights, may get a scope mount when I see for the right price.

IMHO, the PTRs have more of a cult following than any hugely clear advantage over other rifles that I see.

Running one is training, I don't have an issue changing between rifles. If you practice handling the rifle, the controls are pretty easy to learn.

It's an HK trigger pack, the trigger is what you should expect for a battle rifle. This wasn't designed to be a match winner.

If you need parts, expect to pay HK prices. Probably the biggest drawback in the ownership.

Magazines are dirt cheap, and quite easy to find.
