Dang, no love for the BAR's, I've only had two, they've both been 1969 year model all Belgian 338 WM's, they've both shot great, John Browning's name needs no explanation, his son and grandson along with FN have built some really good firearms, guess I partly like them because dad handed me an old A-5 very early in my hunting career, I appreciate the design.

As I said earlier, I have had no issues with my personal BAR rifles or the several others I have loaded for.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Yup, just surprised they're not more popular here, we all have extreme precision rifles, lever guns, even doubles and sharps rifles, i'll always make room for a good dependable, accurate semi-auto hunting rifle.

The R1 has a lot of potential for accuracy. The key was finding a scope and mount that could stand up to the recoil of that particular semi auto.( I’m sure others apply)The bolt cycling and smacking the heel of the upper receiver would throw a lesser scope off zero very easily. I suspect this is why the accuracy reputation is so hit and miss with this particular gun.
Consistently under an inch with hand loaded ammunition with a good mounting system and tough scope ( sightron ) Couldn’t comment on factory ammo.
