I bought a blr lightning new in 1996 brought it home and cut 3/4 of an inch off the butt and took it to a smith and had the 22in barrel cut to 19in put an 11.5 degree inverted crown on it and havent looked back since. it has proven its self time and time again. I also have other calibers in the same gun but havent done anything to them but shootem! A 223, 243, 308, and they all shoot as well as I am capable of shooting. the 30-06 is my go to gun out of the many different guns I have to choose from. I am a Fan of the blr!!!
