Outstanding! I sure hope my little girly wants to hunt with me.

Triggernosis

Thanks, guys. They have pretty good feedback so they must be legit.

Triggernosis

I've been treated extremely well by Cabela's customer service on the phone.

The only "negative" I've heard about them is that they kinda "steal" other people's product ideas once they start carrying them by making their own version and selling it cheaper.

Triggernosis

Oops! I meant Sportsman's Safari. Sorry about the mixup - corrected my original post.

Triggernosis

Has anyone had any dealings with Sportsman's Safari on GunBroker?
They seem to have a decent selection of BLR's whenever I do a search.

Triggernosis

I've been shooting a .270 Win. as my one and only deer rifle since 1990 and have never been disappointed in its performance. The .270 is pretty much equal to a .30-06 in my mind...I could take either one and be happy.

Triggernosis

A Japan-made Browning A-5. Seriously. (no flames, please)
Better fit and finish than the Belgium A-5's, particularly the internals, and a MUCH lower cost.
It'll keep ticking while you're replacing o-rings on the 11-87.....

Triggernosis

Those black Omega Psi Phi fraternity brothers brand the Omega symbol on their bodies with bent clotheshanger wire. Man, that's gotta hurt!

Triggernosis

I understand about using a muzzle guide, but I don't like having all that solvent and mess all caught up inside the receiver area.

Can anyone recommend a specific muzzle guide?

Triggernosis

I'm in the market for a BLR in 7mm-08, but can't decide on whether or not I want the takedown model or not. I don't need the takedown feature at all, but how in the world would one clean the non-t.d. model without damaging the crown?

Triggernosis

Sounds like any of the recommended "greases" would still make a mess....

Triggernosis

My boots don't need to be 100% waterproof, but that sticky mess that Obenauf's leaves has got to go. It would be nice if the Obenauf's could be buffed a bit to avoid the stickiness, but I can't get it to do anything.

Triggernosis

What do you guys use on your leather work boots and knockaround boots? I used some Obenauf's last year on a brand new pair of Red Wings and it made an oily mess of them. It has protected them well, though, but it turned them immediately from a nice golden brown to a dark brown oily mess that picks u...

Something besides the Lee scale - I hate that thing!

There's a scout mount for the BLR? Do tell! I want one, who makes it?

Browning makes 'em.

Come to think of it, neither have I. Hmmm....

Triggernosis

Blaine,
I was going to suggest the 7mm-08 anyway. It should be ballistically better than the 6.5 Swede anyway....

Triggernosis

Oh, just get one Blaine! Then tell us all about it.
Do you need help picking out a caliber or specific model?

Triggernosis

Funny that people mention how "ungainly" the BLR's look....as, personally, I think the Savage 99 is about as homely-looking as a gun can get. Heck, I like the looks of my AR15 better than the 99....

Triggernosis

I can't find any to look at, either new or used. What's up? Is the BLR such a "niche" item that noone wants to stock 'em on their shelves? I could order one, but I'd really like to fondle one and maybe pick one with some good wood before I commit to a purchase. I'm thinking a pistol grip v...

Triggernosis

Would you mind summarizing your last year's "fiasco"?

Triggernosis

Have they lived up to their hype? Have they really improved the ballistics and hunting suitability of the .30-.30?

Triggernosis

Thanks for the responses, guys.
I shoot High Power Service Rifle competitions and am working towards my Dist. Rifleman badge, so the comments about good marksmanship really hit home.

Triggernosis

What do you say?

Triggernosis

Thanks a bunch, John.

Triggernosis

7mm-08, perhaps?
Thinking of getting a BLR in a short-action chambering and would like to be able to stretch it out on occasion to 300 yards like I do my .270 - what chambering would be best for me?

Triggernosis

Would someone mind giving a quick summary of the "BLR Goes Modern" article, please?

Triggernosis

I'd like to know too. Gunblast.com has lots of pix but no discussion.
I'm drooling over this from Browning: http://www.browning.com/products/catalo ... ype_id=017

From what I've heard, Neil Jones (http://www.neiljones.com/) can fix the trigger.

Triggernosis

Does anyone here shoot a Browning BLR in 7mm-08? If you do, please share your experiences.

Triggernosis

Thanks, Blaine.

Triggernosis

Has anyone had any experience the past couple of years with the Leverevolution (in .30-.30) on deer at ranges from 200-300 yards? Please report if you have.

Triggernosis

Fiddler,
Apparently http://www.neiljones.com is the place to go for BLR trigger jobs - I haven't used him, just seen several referrals on the 'net over the past couple of years. If you have him do work for you, please let us know how it turns out.

Triggernosis

I was kinda thinking open sights, which would be more commonly found on leverguns that are used in hunting situations.

Triggernosis

Just curious as to what other's maximum comfortable distance using open sights on deer is. Mine is, realistically, about 150 yards. If it's within that range, it's likely dead if I pull the trigger. At 200 I'm really "hoping for the best". Beyond 200, I really should be using a scope. What...

Here's a 13-footer I built that's stable enough to stand up in to fish or shoot.

Triggernosis

Depends on what your family situation is, but how 'bout a motor home? Find the cheapest piece of property in the U.S. to use as your "home base" and official "residence" for tax purposes, etc. and live life on the road. 6 months here, 3 months there....heck, just follow the wild ...

Triggernosis

Thanks, guys (you too, leverdude). I think I'm gonna try Rusty's idea first to be sure I like it.

Triggernosis

I would like to lengthen the length-of-pull of my 1895C. Probably about one inch, if it doesn't make it look too funny. What's the best way to do it - get a thicker grind-to-fit recoil pad, add a spacer, etc.. I wish I had about a 1" thick piece of black plastic lying around the house, but I ca...

Triggernosis

Thanks for the responses, gentlemen.

Please note that in my initial post that I said that I had no concern over aluminum's strength....no issue at all.
I am purely interested in how well the aluminum receiver handles wear and tear, finish-wise.

Triggernosis

If you do, what's your opinion on the aluminum vs. the steel version? I don't mind at all an aluminum receiver as far as strength/utility, etc. - I'm more worried about how well the finish will hold up over time. I mean, a well-worn blued steel finish doesn't bother me as it shows character, but a s...

Where can I get a copy of Paco Kelly's "An American Heritage - Leverguns"?

One that I really liked as a kid, a page or two read daily by my 4th grade teacher: "My Side of the Mountain"

Give us SOME credit ... that indicates to me that there is STILL a high level of respect, even when we get emotionally 'rowdy' on some topic or other.

Respect, to me, is what it's all about. In a society where respect is sorely lacking, it's nice to be among folks that appreciate it.

Triggernosis

Since becoming a member of this forum I have received polite and insightful responses to many of my posts with folks willing to freely share what they know. As a bonus, a forum member ("victor") graciously sent me some reloading goodies to help me learn and get started. How's that for gene...

Triggernosis

Jason, I understand patriotic interests, but don't disregard the BLR just because it's manufactured in Japan. Folks go nuts over Belgian-made Browning A-5 shotguns, but the Japanese made ones actually have much better machining and parts-fit than the Belgium ones do. I don't have any experience with...

My preference for birds only and no ducks would be a mellow-bred English Setter. Do NOT buy into a high-strung, field trial type bloodline. Instead, find a breeder of what we birdhunters call "meat dogs"...they might not be perfect in style and point, but they'll "bring home the meat&...
