Need feedback on Browning BAR semi-auto rifles. How is the reliability and accuracy. Any trouble with the rifle jamming (FTF, FTE)? Thanks.
"semi-auto"
Current BAR production hunting rifles.
Actually, from what I've heard, the Benelli R1 is a better comparison. My dad used to have a 742 (that he regrets selling of course), that was dead reliable, but I've heard nothing good about the 7400. The R1 on the other hand, is supposed to be lighter and slightly more accurate than the BAR (and looks pretty cool IMO), but costs between $100 and $200 more from the prices I've seen.About the best point of reference for the BAR is the Remington 742/7400. The BAR is far better made, far more accurate after the barrel warms up, and far more reliable than the Remington Semiauto.
