I prefer the FN to the Garand - probably because we just got our M-1 from the CMP (it's a retread Dane also - all matched numbers so we're keeping it "stock") and I'm not as familiar with it yet.

But the FN is really my husband's rifle. My pet is my Lee-Enfield No.4 Long Branch sniper rifle in .303. The original scope is a little foggy, but it's still got MOA accuracy out to 200 yards (haven't done any serious shooting beyond that). It's a heavy rascal, but the bolt is very slick with a short throw, and I can fire it almost as fast as a semi-auto. And with ammo in stripper clips it's very convenient to reload.
