just found out from e-mail that after 4 months of waiting. my browning BAR MKII safari chambered in 30-06sprg is in and is waiting for me.
can' t wait to pick her up this friday/saturday and try her out and get her ready for next season for stalking in the cedar' s/ boggs and swamps.
thought i would share this all with you. i feel like a giddy little girl.

congrats, that' s one sweet gun quilly. There is nothing like buying a new gun, kinda like adding a new family member.

congrats, the BAR is a nice rifle, accurate and dependable. i love my .308 BAR LWT, you may find it to be the rifle that you take hunting most of the time because it is such a good rifle and it seems almost perfect for the area that you hunt in. are you going to scope it?

Quilly,I see that your in Dedham,me too.Where did you buy the new Browning?

Quilly · 02-17-2003, 01:07 PM

CAM2..

no i am not. gonna put some peep sights on her. for where i will be using this gun my shots will be under 40yds and i find i can find the target alot faster with peep sights.

nhten.

i buy all my guns in maine at kitterytrading post. they are alot cheaper and have a better selection. the people in MA. gun shops i find are pretty expensive.

what peep sights are you going to use?

Quilly · 02-17-2003, 02:41 PM

as far as i know ashely outdoor peep sights are the only ones made for the BAR. but if i could choose it would be williams. but i will have to see hwo these sights work first.i know i have to change the front sight as well.

Way to go Quilly, Congrats on your new baby.I' m still waiting on my BAR " Stalker" to get back from Browning' s Service Center.Incase you want an extra magazine go to Cabela' s on line. They have the MKII magazines for 42.99. Cheaperthendirt gets right at 50.00 for theirs.I believe they were 48.99 or 49.99.Browning' s model number is 1020081 Cabela' s #22-3421 . That' s for a BAR MKII 270/30-06 4shot magazine.

ruger..

i have found out when buying a browning to buy one with the gun. took me 1 year to get an extra magazine for my abolt. but i did order two already and recieved them earlier than the gun itself. but thanks anyways for the heads up. i might just buy one more.
