Just curious...I have always loved them but have never bought one. I want one in 308!!! Or 300 Short!
-
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! :)

Heres a 3 shot group once I found its load it really liked. .866 center to center, .112 os to os.
-
Oh yea, thats 100 yards.
-
Heavy? Is it about 7#?
Thanks Wildman! That sounds like just what I want! I too dont care much about the kick!
-
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....

Hornseeker, I don't know were your at but I'm at the Gig Harbor range about every Friday morn if your in the area your welcome to shoot it anytime!

I have a .308 after having handled a 30-06 and a 300WM, the 308 handles much differently. I like mine!
-
I could see liking that 308...
Wild...I am in Billings MONTANA.... so I probably wont see you at the range in GH... I used to drive by there every day though when i lived in Silverdale and Poulsbo!!!
Thanks guys...

my BLR is a .358...bought it used about 20 years ago...put a Leo 2X8 on it...handloads for it...boom goes the dynamite

I need to read a bit about that 358.....

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:
