Is the PTR-91 a good rifle?
I’ve run the PTR-91 with both factory 155 and 175 without any issues. Just don’t expect this to be a “precision” rifle without spending a fortune. Also on the “clones” such as the PTR-91 and some of the other ones, there are sometimes build quality issues.
Is a G3 a precision rifle?
Like @W54/XM-388 said, a basic G3-type will not be a “precision” rifle without rebuilding it into one of the dedicated configurations (PSG1, MSG90, G3SG/1, etc) and that’ll cost you a fortune just for the right stock sometimes. With a stock g3 or hk91.
