Hobie,
Thanks for the post. The article was most interesting.
I have a BLR in 358 that is most accurate, and fun to shoot. Will take it to West Virginia this year for deer.

Da--, I had a 243 that I bought from a guy way back in the 90's NIB for 350 dollars, another fella had a 257 Roberts and wanted to trade me even up, ah no. Should of traded. Now I have a Lighting in '06. Love it.

I think the BLRs have been under-appreciated. Heck, I haven't even appreciated them. Now I'm looking at a 7mm-08 although, heaven knows, I don't need another such rifle.

Hobie,
You need to get over that "I don't need another such rifle" syndrome.
Most of us have.

Steve Well, I have, which is a problem. Moderation in all things.

Hobie,
I was making fun of the rifle loonies,especially myself. The best rifle I will ever have is my next one.
Hope you get over your affliction!!

Its highly unlikely I'll get over it based on past experience!

Wanted to add my thanks for the link also. I recently purchased my first BLR in 243 and the article helped educate me. One thing I was confused on was the year of mfg after the letter "K". Mine says K47. I knew it wasn't made in '47 so I called Browning customer service and they told me it was made in 1974. Guess the Japanese worker got it backwards?
Any quirks I should no about with these rifles? Favorite loads? Small base dies recommended? Source for spare magazines?
Thanks for any and all input.
