Browning BLR
@ 01:24 pm (GMT) |
Joshua MayfieldIn The Practical Guide To Long Range Hunting Rifles Nathan mentions a rifle that I've long been fascinated with but was surprised to see discussed there - the Browning BLR. I don't have my copy of the book here with me but I believe Nathan says something to the effect that he'd like to see Browning explore the full potential of the BLR design.The BLR design has always seemed to me that it could be a fantastic stalk and carry rifle. Does anyone have extensive experience with this rifle who could speak to its quality? Nathan, if you don't mind, could you discuss what you see as the potential of the BLR? Thanks to all. |

Mike DavisRe: Browning BLRok guysjust read Nathans excellent book LONG RANGE SHOOTING (if you havent bought it yet...hop to it) it gave me a real good kick in the pants took out BLR just now fired a few rounds through my scrub gun to check zero then loaded up the o8 first fouling shot within cooee the next 3 went in under an inch at 100 yards...3/4" to be precise !!!!!!!!!! have learnt to look and bolt to make sure it has traveled completely forward and ease trigger forward then recock to make sure it will fire....not sure if it has the one tooth out thing or not??? our son Nathan fired 3 rounds two into same target landing 1 1/4" apart so all good. he very happy lad. 99% of our shooting is shorter than 150 yards but its nice to know the accuracy is there if I do my bit. load hornady match case win mag large rifle primer 50 grns win 748 125grn nosler ballistic tip (2nds off trademe) now to get out and blood it. |
