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.pricedo wrote: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.Nodnarb wrote:Very nice rifle.

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.

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.akuser47 wrote:Johnnie Walker Blue Label Nice choice in whiskey I love whiskey and bourbons but I love a good Cognac.

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).
