BLR in 243.redfield 2X7

Cruelshoes

How does that handle? I was thinking of saving up (for years) for a BLR in 30-06 because I like lever guns so much. They look like they might feel awkward in the hands. My little carbine feels so natural, but that ... I am not so sure.

I would love to have one in .308. The finish on the Browning lever actions I've seen was incredible. I have a BL-22 and it amazes me.

I will let you know as I bought about a hour ago .I went to the post office to mail a package and stopped by my local pawn on the way home.it was sitting there and the price was right.a 243 lever gun will reach out there .

...I had one in the mid-70s in .308-for about a week...then it went to pay bills...it was gorgeous...more hunters I know 'round here use .243 than any other caliber...it'll drop 'em with one shot...I've eaten a lotta deer shot by .243...gotcha a good one...

thanks dog.I guess I am going to need another set of dies now oops.

The Brownings have a real slick action, and one of the few lever guns that can fire pointed bullets. Nice guns.

That is the gun my mom has for her do everything rifle. It is a beauty. Sweet handling rifle as well.

this morning called midway and ordered a rcbs small base die set as these have tight tolerances.2 boxes of bullets 95 gr and 100 gr a trimmer and some bore brushes.
next down at wally-world I was goofing off in sporting goods and they had fed 243 100 gr sp ammo for 13.97 a box .I picked up 3 boxes at that price.
they also had some rem 9mm fmj for 9.97 a box of 50.I guess the prices are starting to go down now and they had ammo in stock.
