I have a SAR-2, it works fine, no problems but a slightly canted front sight, no biggie. I also have one of the Interarms Tantal builds. The Tantal is more accurate than the SAR-2, I'd say around 25%, but haven't really shot comparison groups. My main reason for buying the SAR was to shoot corrosive surplus. If I was only going to have one it would be the Tantal, better build quality and accuracy, but twice the price.
