Browning BLR takedown feedback?
- Thread starter mcgoo7
- Start date
How do they shoot....3 shot group wise? Toying with the idea of a 7mm RM and getting someone to make a 358 Norma for it too, switch barrel rig for everything.
An easy side by side and the third just off.
Almost a perfect cloverleaf.
Then again, I haven't played with reloads much.
Just got the scope on, bore sighted and pounded off
twenty or so at the range.
First impression..............as Tony The Tiger would say.

Blr
I have owned 3 BLR's in the past few years, including 2 BLR-81's and 1 Pistol Grip model. Be warned the Pistol Grip model and the 81 straight grip model DO NOT fit the same. I dont care what the specs say on the Browning web site the pistol grip model is alot like Browning/Winchester bolt guns with not alot of drop in the stock while the 81 feels different with a bit more drop, the 81 feels WAY better to me.
That being said all the BLR's I have owned have been awesome fit/finish wise and are capable of shooting under 2" realistically at 100 yards with factory ammo. People report groups from 1" to 1.5" also with the right optics. The triggers blow out of the box and it may be wise to sink a few bucks into getting some work done on the trigger. Other than that I would give the Browning BLR's two thumbs up, just make sure you shoulder the pistol grip and the straight grip and see which one feels better for you. I have never dealt with the takedown model so I cant comment on accurace. I love my Browning BLR Lightweight-81 in .308 Win!!!

different animal.
Iam assumeing your talking about the pistol grip model,or is it the straight grip?Anyway,the take-down models are cool.I have them in both,and like them alot.243,22-250,and 308.They are not as accurate as an 88 but they do fine, for hunting!

I was looking at the stainless laminate 81
I have a steel BLR 81 in 358 and 284 Win. They group 1 1/4" @100yds for three shots all day long if you let the barrel cool right. Nice to hear the take down model shoots good too. Thanks.

They don't hold zero well if you have a receiver mount scope - the receiver is aluminum. If you leave the barrel in it is not a problem but if you like to take it apart it will shift slightly, that is why Browning has a scout style mount to keep the scope zeroed regardless if you take it apart.
