I've got 3 BLRs. A .243, a .308 and a pre 81 in 358. All with steel receivers. The only veteran of the group is the .243. It was my no.1 rifle back in the late 80s and never let me down to the tune of about 6 deer all 1 shot kills. Bought the other 2 thinking I would use them but both became safe queens due to how pretty they are.(Both are absolutely pristine, maybe unfired, don't know). The .243 with a 4x compact will easily group inside 1.5" and is good enough for me as I do not take crazy shots at over 250 yards.
They will kill.
