I just bought an FN PBR XP with a 20" fluted barrel from Buds Gun Shop. I searched all over the internet researching this rifle, and finally chose it over a Remington 700 and CZ 550 6.5x55. I'm planning on putting a Super Sniper 10x42 scope and Harris Bipod on it. I'll be using it to shoot from 100-300 yards at paper, and out to 600 yards or so if I can find a good shooting spot. I may have to head to some public land in west Texas to find a clear 600 yard shooting lane.
I'm planning on starting this rifle out on a diet of South African surplus and the Lithuanian .308 that just came into the country. I may start to reload, just for this rifle.
Is there anything I should look out for on this rifle? What slings do you like for it? Are there any odd replacement parts that you recommend (besides the firing pin, extractor and springs), and are they easy to come by? What scope did you choose? Any other recommendations? Thanks much.
