I've never fired a BAR that wouldn't shoot 1 1/2" or less @ 100 yards . My experience has been with pre 76 Belgium guns. One of the 30-06s I still have is the best shooter, will shoot 1" or less.
They tend to get heavy, and if not cleaned properly will jam on shot #2. If I were still toten a slip-o-matic, it would be a true Belgian BAR, nothin' else is close. To my knowledge, every BAR that has ever been made was made in Belgium. My shorttrac is about 10 years old and it was made in Belgium...so are the newer ones....they are a HELL of a lot lighter than the older ones too. Mine will shoot way better than 1.5" at 100 yards too and will run through anything I put in it as long as I keep it clean and lightly oiled. Trigger job and you're good to go. I like it for the way we hunt up here in hillbilly country.

One gun would be tough for me. I like my 30-06 A Bolt, but I've got a special affection for my old Marlin .44 mag lever gun too. Then again, there's my granddad's old Winchester 30-30 to throw in the mix too.

I would never choose a semi auto. An accurate Auto like the BAR would be tough to beat for all around hunting IMO. Buddy of mine missed the biggest buck he ever got a chance at because his BAR didn't fire. It was slightly out of battery. I don't see them as doing extremely well in any category and I've never needed a second shot faster than I could work a bolt. My motto has always been, the simpler the better. Sounds like your buddys fault!  Probably, but the point is that it wouldn't have happened with a good bolt action. No, if you do this, or if you do that it works fine to worry about.

Are new ones made by FN?

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

And FN does own them. The FNAR is just a souped up BAR with a better trigger.

My Rem 700 in .270 has done well enough that I''m not really interested in expanding my options. It ain't broke so I ain't fixin it.
