Re: Question For Browning BLR Owners

Sorry for the dead-thread picking, but can anyone (MZ5, maybe?) shed a little light on exactly HOW to do this?

Re: New BLR Take-Down

True, they're usually pretty heavy. That's partially why I bought this particular one. It is, for the model, on the light side. It's probably around 4.5-5 pounds.

The English, straight grip is one if the things I like best about my new BPS Upland Special. It allows shooters with different hand sizes, like my wife and daughter, to hold it according to personal fit rather than to have to hold it at the pistol grip and reach from there to the trigger. It also fe...

Re: You guys will talk me out of it?

Interesting timing. I just bought one of those at the Gander Mountain in Winston-Salem about a week ago. I looked at a large number of 12 and 20 gauge scatter-guns. I looked at pumps and semi-autos mostly, but a number of O/U and SXS doubles too. In the end it was a choice between the Browning BPS U...
