Browning BLR

I'm thinking about getting a browning blr. Do any of you shoot one of these?

Also I am trying to figure out what I want for a caliber. I already shoot a remington model 700 bdl in .30-06 that was my grandpas gun and I dont like using it all the time, but will still use it on elk. Im looking for a gun that I can use on both deer and coyotes mainly a deer gun though. I usually hunt muleys in the mountains but sometimes whitetails and muleys in the brush to mixed cover. Im thinking a 7mm-08 would be good but Im open to all ideas on gun and caliber.

I also like the idea of having a .243 for coyotes but it just seems a bit weak for a deer and a .308 just seems too much like my '06 and I dont need another. Ive also thought about a bar in 7mm-08 and a ruger in .280 rem but I like the idea of the blr.

Make sure you love the trigger because you will be stuck with it. It is very hard to find a gunsmith who will will do a triggerjob on a BLR. Beside the trigger, they are very nice rifles. Good luck.
