eldeguello ,
yes , i have a .35 whelen , and i love that rifle but , i just wanted a ( new toy ) , and no , i don' t mean that i think of it as a play thing , just something that i really don' t need . but something that after working double shifts for 4 months straight i feel i can treat myself too. that' s all

bearhuntr,
sorry bud , but , after looking at the possibilities of how i can try reloading that puppy , including the 310 gr. bullets that ( i think sierra offers ) i couldn' t turn that performance down , and that was hard to do because i truly , truly love lever actions. i was talking to my dealer about getting one of the blr' s in .358 later in the fall though just to fill that niche in my personal .358 caliber arsenal fan club , as the .35 caliber is in my opinion the best caliber , and most overlooked , and underrated in firearms history

BTW-my dealer is selling the rifle to my for a exactly $ 300.00 dollars under suggested retail value , I THINK THAT' S PRETTY DAMN GOOD ,


james b ,
i have a blr lightning in .270 win. and i' ve never had any real trouble with mine , she works and handles ok , what problems have you had bud ???
