Has anyone ever had any trigger work done on a Browning BLR.

Mine is awful rough and I'm thinking about sending it back to browning to see if they can make it better.

Thanks,
Spot

Bowning uses ArnoldArms in Fenton Missouri for some of it's work but they may do something like that under warrantee.. There are too many parts in the trigger linkage to ever get really good,. In any case good luck,.,.

GN,

I called them and they said they could take the creep out but that action and trigger are a bugger to work on. They quoted $100 bucks for the trigger job and $25 for shipping. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep this rifle or change it out for a Tikka or Sako in 270. I would get another 358 bolt if they made an accurate one but I like the the 70 degree or less lift in the bolt so that cuts me down to three makers anyhow.

Thanks!
Spot

BTW that outfit is now named Midwest Gunworks in Festus.

The BLR's disconnecting trigger and lever to bolt linkage system make working on them a pain. The shipping is about right and for a good trigger that's not really that bad a price.... Still a good bolt would be a lot easier to tune and a good trigger is very important... Good luck..
