I also like the BLR, I have one in 308 with a 2.5-8x36 VX3. I dont think you could get a better rifle in the southern woods. This gun shoots most 150gr bullets I have tried in the same place, so I use the lower priced stuff.I have tried the 168 match Amax and they are real accurate but preformance on a few deer I shot last season were lackluster. The only gripe I have is the trigger and I am hoping to get mine to Neil Jones before the season.
