Can you expand on the known issues? I would expect an $1100 rifle to perform. My bolt action 7mm mag certainly does, but it’s another category.
I used to have an FN FAL. I sold it for the deposit on my first apartment, figuring I could always buy another one. And then the ban came in the '80s. The last time I looked, non-FN FALs were available; but actual FNs were like five kilobucks.
Me too.
