One of the places I deer hunt typically involves a half hour slow walk through heavy woods after which I end up at the edge of an open field where >200 yard shots are possible. The BLR is my weapon of choice here, really handy in close cover yet I have the confidence for longer shots. Mine is a Belgian made .308. It shoots sub MOA with handloads. No safety other than the old school half cock. It's a heavy gun, but it carries well. I wish I could get lightweight rings for it, the Leupold DD set I have is very heavy, that and the lack of extra magazines are the big downsides for me.

Shyt, my Marlin .30-30 consistently shoots sub MOA and I've killed several deer beyond 200 yards with it. No fuss no muss. One shot each.
