I am very interested in purchasing an aoutoloading center-fire rifle for big game hunting. I am particularly interested in the Browning BAR in 7mm Remington Magnum. Despite the many positive aspects of autoloaders, they do not seem to nearly as popular as rifles as they are as shotguns. Am I missing something? I think I know what the pros are of such a rifle but I obviously am ignorant of the cons. Can someone with experience with a centerfire autoloading rifle give me their opinions on them?
