    FS2000 Shorter Shooter

    Good Morning,

    First post here on the forum. The info on the fs2000 has been invaluable and I'm very close to picking one up. I'm about 5'7 150. Anyone feel there's an issues for a shorter build shooter. Thanks

    My wife loves the feel of the FS2000, and she is about your height (130lbs). She says that it is so ergonomic that when she picks it up her hands just know where to go and it shoulders right up. I also have a friend about your size that says it feels great to shoot.

    Welcome to FNForum. You will be fine with the FS2K.


    A pure democracy operates by direct majority vote of the people. When an issue is to be decided, the entire population votes on it; the majority wins and rules. A republic differs in that the general population elects representatives who then pass laws to govern the nation.

    Thanks a lot guys. I"ve been weighing the Steyr AUG or the FS2000 for months now. I think I've firmly landed on the FS due to the ambi controls and ar15 mag compatibility. Plus it looks damn sweet.

    I almost think it is easier for a shorter person to shoot than a taller. All my friends are around 5'7" and have no issues shooting mine. I pick it up and never can seem to get it held right to use the factory sites. I am 6'2"

    My 12-year old son is small for his age, about average 10 year old height... and he LOVES shooting the FS2000 and has no problems. The balance of the gun is a huge advantage for him. His arms aren't long enough for most other full-sized rifles... but he can shoot safely and accurately with the FS2000.

    I'm 6'4" and I think it feels great. The factory sights aren't the best, but it gets the job done. On the other hand I find ARs uncomfortable. Life would be boring if we all were the same.
