I have had two. Their emphasis was on looks, not quality. That said, both actions were very solid and the stock shape was nice. The barrels were mediocre at best, although the rifles both shot well in spite of that.
I think you are right.Their model 82 & 84 were really fine rifles all the way around.Something happened during the time when they were making BGR`s.A lot of the really bad ones were made after they were sold and BGR`s were put together from remaining stock.This was also when they were peddling the converted Mo.96 & 98 Mauser`s.
