Default RE: Browning BLR in .308?
ORIGINAL: tgilson

I'm new to the site and have my first question. I currently own a A-bolt in 30-06 and have been wanting something a little lighter/quicker for MI deer/bear hunting. I've been thinking of getting a 7mm-08, but recently came across an older used Browning BLR (has the straight stock and steel receiver) in .308 for $400.

It sure seems like a sweet gun for the price. Does anyone have any experience with this gun in .308? Or should I wait and save my $$$ for a Remington model 7 in 7mm-08?

Thanks!

Sounds like a BRN mod 81. The more modern 81's have aluminum recievers and sell Newbetween $650 and $700. If I had to pick, I'd go with the Rem mod7 7-08.
