I've had 308 and 243 both, and in Miroku and
Belgium both. Both functioned and shot
equally well. I didn't send mine down the road
because of any dissatisfaction but because the
areas I now have to hunt are much different
than the places I used to be able to hunt at,
and there were people with enough money
that convinced me to let them carry the guns
to a new home.
Before you buy one, make absolutely sure that
you can get at least one spare functional
magazine.
I can't think of any dissatisfaction I had with
the BLR's I owned and hunted with
Good Luck
