Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Any Browning BAR fans here?

I'll put in a plug for the BAR. I have personally owned two, an older steel frame 06' and a newer alloy MKIII .243 Lwt. I hate to sound cliche but both of those rifles easily break under 1" groups at 100 yards with loads they like. And, get ready for it... neither has ever malfunctioned. The .30-06 uses my handload of a 180 gr. Sierra SBT GK over H4350 at 2735 fps and kills deer and hogs easy peasy. It's a little heavy, the trigger is light but mushy, but it is a solid hunting rifle. The .243 has the alloy receiver and a 20" barrel and is one of the least fussy rifles I've ever owned. Pretty much whatever I stuff in the magazine shoots well, some of it shoots really well. Deer and predator calling is what I use it for most often. It gets the job done...
