A BLR was on my "to buy" list but now I own 2 BLR Takedowns........one in 308 Win & one in 450 Marlin.........very happy with both of them.
I love working on & tuning up/fixing up guns but sometimes buying a gun or 2 you can just pull out of the box and take to the range & shoot like the rich folks do is a welcome change just like the odd sip from a $300 bottle of vintage whiskey (Johnnie Walker Blue Label) is nice once in a while that you can't afford to drink it all the time. :mrgreen:
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Nice choice in whiskey I love whiskey and bourbons but I love a good Cognac. A well off friend of mine celebrated becomeing a ceo at an event for this. I attended and I had the privilige of drinking some tesseron cognac it was very old and I imagine well out of my price range but I loved it. Back on topic though how does the .308 BLR shot dead on cycle flawless? just curious is all love those guns.

The BLR Takedown in 308 Win is giving me 1" 3-shot groups at 100 yards with the factory Nosler 165 grain "white tip" Accubond ammo.......it's kind of expensive ($35/box) but the BLR really likes them and those AB bullets mushroom perfectly in wet sand without breaking apart.
The second best ammo I tried in the gun was the Remington 150 grain Core-Lokt SPs which were giving me 1 1/2" 3-shot groups @ 100 yards and oddly enough the Nosler & Green Box ammo shot to the same POI at the 100 yard target........sometimes there's no explaining the mysteries & miracles of ballistics (barrel harmonics, Coriolis effect and all that "fuzzy wuzzy" stuff). :mrgreen:
