Which one...

[cbosshog79]

I am looking at two rifles and trying to decide which one will be money better spent. They are about the same price with the Remington being slightly cheaper. What do you guys think as far as quality and resale... Both are in .308.

FNH PBR

-OR-

Remington 700 LTR

Re: Which one...

Pick Remmy LTR just because it has more after market parts.

Re: Which one...

diddo! the aftermarket support on the 700's dominates anything else out there! FN makes a fine rifle but i would go with the 700 without ? or hesitation

Re: Which one...

Thanks for the input fellows. I have always been a remington guy but am nearly disheartened to hear that selection voiced. I have had my eye on a PBR for quite some time and now have an opportunity to pick one up...

Has anyone out there owned a FN or shot it? Any opinions on the rifle itself?

LTR......

Re: Which one...

+1 on the LTR

The one I had would be sufficient for most right out of the box. A good one to build on.

Re: Which one...

LTR is the way to go

I would take the Rem 700 over the PBR but if you like the FN rifles try looking at the SPR. You can get anything you would need for those rifles, just not as many of the same thing made by different people.

Re: Which one...

Wow, I'm really kinda suprised that there isn't a single vote for the PBR. Thanks for the input fellows, this really helps!

Re: Which one...

If you have always been a Remington guy and want a FN, get it!

If you want to stay Remington and get a LTR you won't be sorry.

It's just about what you want.

Re: Which one...

If it was me, I'd go with the LTR

Re: Which one...

LTR for the broken record win.

Re: Which one...

My friend has an FN SPR that shoots extremely well but i'd have to vote for the LTR.

Re: Which one...

LTR. Now if I had the cash, I'd go with the SPR A3

Re: Which one...

I have no experience with the LTR and remingtons have always been great rifles, but I do have a FN SPR and it has been a very good rifle and shoots better than I can shoot. You do have to do a little more digging for aftermarket parts. The first upgrade I would do if I bought the FN is send it to Jeff at CDI precision and get him to put new bottom metal on it to accept the AI mags. Other than that shoot the heck out of it.
