RE: New semi - auto Rifle ....
my BAR in .270 is an amazing shooter, 1/2MOA (factory ammo)
I've since become a bolt action fan though, and if I were buying a rifle I would get a bolt.
Some guys have been panning the newer BAR's etc....not sure how many variations they had back in the day when I got mine, but now i know they have like 10 it seems, but the old standard BAR is great, not sure if they're still made in belgium?
I'd skip the boss completely though, I have it on my abolt and wish I didn't my bar doesn't and its amazing.
