FN's new FNAR and Precision Shooting Rifle

[SpeedAKL]

Just took a look at FN's site for the first time in awhile, and noticed not only that the page has been redesigned but that a couple new rifles are listed. First is the FNAR - no, it's not an FN AR-15 (though that would be a logical guess since they build M-16s for the military). It's some sort of precision semi-auto rifle. Also, there's this bolt-action Model-70-based gun called the Precision Shooting Rifle...looks like a long-range tactical or general precision gun, but I'm sort of confused since FN already has the excellent SPR?

Any more info on these two guns? I'd never heard of them before.

The FNAR is essentially a militarized Browning BAR hunting rifle.

The FNAR Light is kinda interesting....

There has been some talk in some quarter about using the FNAR to shoot He-Man/Heavy Metal class at multigun matches, but a couple of drawbacks were listed.

A search over at Brian Enos' forum would probably give you more useful information.

Their accuracy requirement sounds like a good idea, but also sounds like a justification for upping the price. Looks goofy too.

Would those 20 round magazines work in a regular 308/243 BAR?
