I figure it will be a great range gun with match ammo and awesome hunting rifle with good hunting rounds.
Anyone here have any experience with this beauty?

That looks like a great rifle! I'm not familiar with that particular rifle but FNH usually makes excellent stuff. A couple of guys I've talked to along the way have expressed subjective opinions about how FN rifles "feel" for them. It's just a matter of what you like. Of course buying the rifle is one thing but the glass on top is another. Dang that stuff gets pricey! I went with a Leupold Mark 4 because they are excellent, proven, and Leupold's lifetime warranty is famous for being best in the industry. I would recommend checking out some firearms forums for good deals. I bought my Leupold brand new in box with all papers, etc, for several hundred less than retail.
The only thing about a 7.62x51 is the cost of ammo, especially the match grade stuff you mentioned. There is no doubt about the potency of that caliber. I had a M1A but let it go to build my SPR. The 7.62x51 is just amazing.
