New Deer Rilfe

[KahrMan]

Well, new to me.  Last year I picked up a Browning BAR in .30-06.  As much as I tried to like it, it just never felt right to me.  It was a great and accurate gun but I am more of a bolt or lever action guy.  So I came across a guy selling a 1978 Belgian made Browning BBR in .270.  You do not see the BBRs for sale to often.  The BBR is kinda the predecessor to the A-bolt.  It has a fat bolt and is built very solid.

It has some minor character marks but over overall it is in good shape.  I put a Leupold VX3 3-9x50 on it and took it out to sight it in yesterday.  I must have done a poor job bore sighting it because the first shot was off paper.  Took a few more shots to get it dialed in.  I was happy with my first three shot group.  I think this is going to make a great deer rifle.

Very nice rifle. I own a BAR and love it but I find myself using my bolt action Weatherby Vanguard .300 Weatherby Mag more. Love my bolt guns.

very pretty!

 

If you get a chance, look at a BLR.  I have one in 308 that is amazing.   My bar is my go-to .22, but anything bigger I would just use a modern platform, AR / etc.

Thats a good looking deer rifle!  These next 4.5 months will go by slowly for you I'm sure!
