So, the thought occured to me that I have no idea on what to base an opinion on an EBR. I do not own nor have any lasting or relevant time with them besides a turn or two at the range. So, what do you look for in an EBR if you were say a first time buyer?

With all the new offerings of the past several years there have been more and more items on the market to choose from. So, to keep this manageable:

- Stick with Noveske/LWRC, FN SCAR, Robo XCR, and the illusive ACR
- Pros/cons or your experience with above
- Main use as a range gun, mild hunting, etc.
- Price points/availability should be a non-issue.
- Non-NFA versions (16 inch barell, etc...)

Thoughts?
