I recently inherited a Browning BBR .300 Win Mag made in 1979 with an old 3-9x40 Redfield scope on it. It was my Grandfather's rifle and I don't believe it has even had a box of ammunition shot through it.

I have not had a chance to shoot it yet. I ordered a 4-16x42 Nikon Monarch yesterday and plan on shooting it shortly. I have an elk hunt coming up this October tand this is the rifle I will be taking. I plan on trying to reload a round for this gun. I am still undecided on what bullet/load I will be using.

My question: Has anyone had any experience with the BBR? I know it was Browning's bolt action rifle prior to the A-bolt. If you have shot/own one, how does it perform?

Thanks for your time,
Trent
