Bought my son a laminated straight stock stainless BLR in 270 WSM years ago and he loves it. It feeds and chambers smoothly, no different than our other BLRs. We both have many rifles to choose from when we hunt deer but our favorite is the BLR. Great carrying rifle and very accurate. He owns two, I own four, they are all short action calibers, one in 243, two in 308, two in 7mm08 and the 270 WSM.
