Ive got six BLRS now (257 rbrts,270,30/06,300 win,358 win and 450 marlin) and they can be extremely accurate, fast handling and well balanced, I prefer the older steel receiver models,with strait grips but, thats a personal preferance. my 358 win BLR gets ALOT of use!
load a 250grain speer over 44-45 grains of IMR-4064 in that 358 win and sight it 3.3" high at 100 yards youll be close to dead on at 200 yards and about 10" low at 300 yards, and even at 300 yards it drops ELK very effectively
personally I prefer the 358 win vs the 308win
