Very helpful thread. I have a 7-08 blr being turned into an integrally suppressed blr as we speak. I’ll likely use this as my primary deer gun. The smaller framed leupold’s look nice a nice fit on these guns

if you put the smaller tube scope on your BLR you won`t have any problem with your open sights either. i did have quick release Leupold mnts. on my BLR but decided i like the 1-6x24 30 tube Burris scope with picatinny mnts. better .

10Glocks thanks for all the info you provided on this thread. I have a SS laminate 308 Takedown I purchased along with a Leupold VXR 2-7x33 and I had not thought of the talley steel rings.

Sure thing! I’m having SWS rifles out of the Houston area turn my Browning BLR into a suppressed lever gun. Having them do it in 7-08. They make fantastic integrally suppressed weapons. I’m pretty sure they are on all the major social media sites including YouTube.

Thanks, Panther. Before I head over to their website and get too far down a rabbit hole, what is the cost of such a modification?

I’m not exactly sure, I had them start 6 builds for me at the same time so I didn’t keep up with how much each build was. It’s certainly more than a suppressor + stamp. I did provide all the guns for my builds so that made it feel like I was spending less….so I tell myself lol

LOL. I'm excited for you. I want one myself now. Just can't decide on what caliber. I already have BLR's in .223 and .243 - so I don't know if I will get the .243 done or go with a 7mm-08.
I am going to call them today and see if they can also do their suppressor on a BAR also.

Do they handle the suppressor stamp mess as part of the process? How long does it take?

I hate the look of a “can”. I love the looks of this!

This makes me sad I sold my 7mm-08 BLR

One of those in 350 Legend would make a great little deer rifle that would work anywhere and work well.

Hey, y'all - I called SWS today and asked about pricing on their BLR integral suppressor package. If you send them a rifle, it's $2,500 - $2,750 depending on which forearm wood you have (the narrower forearm requires extra work.
Considering that an off-the-shelf top quality suppressor is typically in the $1,000 range, I believe their price is reasonable. Expensive, yes - but reasonable considering the work that is probably involved.
I'm not going to jump on a build right now, but may in the future.

I asked them if they could suppress a Browning BLR, but unfortunately they don't.
