BLR in 7mm-08
« on: May 22, 2004, 02:40:59 AM »
Hey all....., anybody got a BLR in 7mm-08?  Got my eye on one that I'd like to have.  I had one in .308 that I let get away.  Anyone ever have any scope mounting issues with the aluminum receiver (stripping, cross-threading, etc....).  I wonder how the finish holds up on that Al receiver?

My son just got one and we are working up some loads for it now. It is a pleasure to shoot as the recoil is not punishing in spite of its light weight.  I've been impressed with the short, smooth throw of the lever. The only thing I'm not excited about is the shiny finish Browning puts on most of their guns.
