My go to gun is a BLR lightweight in 300wsm. I love it. The triggers suck but hey ya get used to it. I shoot 165 accubonds and its impressive!
Its a hard hitter on the shoulder but I like that!  :)

Thanks. Sounds like a lot of guys dont care for them too much. I have a buddy that has one, dont see him much at all, but I'll have to get my hands on it and put a few rounds throuhg it. His is a 7mm mag...

My lightweight stainless weighs about 7.5 without the scope. Scope clearance inst bad really as far as the hammer goes IMO and I have BIG hands. I had a VXL on it with dednutz low mount and it was fine. The VXL was a bit much for it though. Lol
I just changed it to a 3-9 x 40 Monarch and its much less top heavy. I use a Safari sling for mine. I love the Safari slings for fast shots.

There short, fast and fun to shoot! I just have always loved em....

I have a .308 after having handled a 30-06 and a 300WM, the 308 handles much differently.  I like mine!

My Pre 81 BLR in .308 is one awesome deer gun.  Fast on target acquisition, and deadly accurate.  I have won some bets on the range, out shooting off the rack bolt guns.  The newer models just do not feel the same to me when shouldering them.   :dunno:
