FNH USA - Distinct Advantage :: FNAR
It's a heavy one. I've often debated it but never made the plunge.

I'm feeling it's reputation for accuracy. I'm contemplating between the standard and heavy barrel model. The difference is 1lb. But i figured the heavy barrel can take continuous use. But I know FN standard barrels must be pretty close to the heavy. They just make awesome barrels... period.

What I like about this rifle is, that it's accurate enough for general hunting/sniping. but then switch from a 5 round mag to a 20 round mag and you have a long range battle rifle. Very versatile, yet in the standard model, 8.9lbs is still lighter than most comparable rifles in this caliber which usually weigh 10/11lbs.

A few reasons, I do not have one, I have three 45's, recently sold my 9mm, as it does nothing for me. I eventually will have another in the collection, but it was not the right gun in the collection, that is why I sold it. Two of my friends have 40's and reloading dies for it. I shot a few, its a snappy round, but I like like it. Even during this ammo crisis, Walmart still has 40 ammo on the shelves, its not that popular yet.

Thats when you need to get out there and shoot. When it's cold,snowing and raining, your hands shivering, or under extreme heat and you're hungry,tired and weak. If you can hit targets then? You can hit targets always.

I've been looking for a quick-change rifle scope mount so I can quickly and easily swap scopes around on my rifles (.22LR and .223/5.56). So far, all I've found is an ARMS #19 setup. It looks like a decent unit, but I'd like to compare a few different ones. Anyone know of other quick-change mounts? TIA

Depends on what type of scope you're using. But for traditional scopes I like...

Burris AR-P.E.P.R. 1-Piece Extended Scope Mount Picatinny-Style
