I have read good reviews about this rifle. Actual owners seem mostly happy with it. The only complaints I've seen are it's not easy to clean and not a rugged battle rifle. It is based on the the BAR hunting rifle which has a good reputation overall. I think the attraction is more about the accuracy than other things. IIRC FN claims 1/2 MOA out of the box which is pretty good on a stock semiauto. I considered buying one several months ago when looking to obtain a rifle in .308 but opted for a M1A Scout Squad instead because I wanted a more rugged design and had no other (American) military semi-auto rifles.

The only downside to having a "non-mainstream" rifle will be limited aftermarket add-ons and expensive magazines. Proprietary parts can cost more than generic ones but that's just part of owning something different.
