I have two BLR’s I’m strongly considering selling and moving in a different direction with a rifle.

1996 7 mm magnum, mint condition, used on one hunt. Killed a moose with it in 2018.
I purchased it in NH and the dealer and I concurred it was a safe queen and if shot it was very little. Our assessment was that it was not fired but can not verify other than our observation.

The second is a .358 I purchased new from a dealer two years ago in CT. I purchased it as a back up to the 7 mm for my 2018 moose hunt.
At the range and in Newfoundland, I shot 34 rounds of Buffalo Bore Ammo, have 6 left and the brass, also has a skinner peep sight.
Took it whitetail hunting a few times. Should have 2 magazines as well.
I think I have the box.

Scopes will be sold with or without the guns, one a S&B 6x42 Hungarian, the other a Zeiss 2-10 x42 number 60 reticle.
I have not put a price on them yet, just seeing if anyone wants what they sold and wish they kept!!!

I keep thinking a 7mm would fun to try - once.

Family friend has/had one as a loaner elk rifle, didn’t handle too bad from what I recall.

But, that’s been a few years.

I let a buddy talk me out of the last 358 I owned - he’s very happy with it. If you’re listing the 358, I don’t think it will last too long on here, seems to hunters on the look out for them as soon as they surface.

I’m thinking the same.
I put two holes in the moose at 269 yards, 4-5 inches apart. Can’t complain about the gun, it performed well considering the longest kill shot I had in Connecticut was 67 yards with a 7x57 R.

I like both rifles but thinking of a Blaser R 93.
