Got a 1970 Browning BLR in 243, Belgian made, first year of production. Put it in layaway and it was only in for 8 days. I'm very impatient.

Paid less than 1k so I feel like I got a good deal. I removed the scope since its got irons and this will be used for a woods gun here in the Ozarks.

I did trade in another 243 I had, TC Compass but I feel like this one might be a bit better. The Browning will not chamber my reloads since they were for the bolt action but I've got enough factory ammo and brass I can manage lol

For as old as it is, it's in great condition. I cleaned it the best I could but I'll take it to a gunsmith and have him take it apart and clean it and oil it since these are a PITA to work on.

I'll be loading everything from 55/58 gr vmax up to 85-100 gr.

Pulled the scope off since it's got irons and it got in the way of the hammer.

First year of production, 1970, 243 and semi clean. Belgium made.

I'll be going shooting tomorrow to see how she shoots and get the irons dialed in.

Paid less than 1k.

I'll take it to a gunsmith after shooting to get it cleaned and gone over since these actions are a nightmare to work on and I don't have the ability to competently do it. Bolts I'll work on but this thing is supposed to be a PITA.

Made in Belgium, 1970, 243.

Got it in layaway and I'll be bringing it home this weekend. I'll be removing the scope and using irons. It'll suit me well in the woods of Arkansas.

I traded in my tc compass 243 so I could get this lol. I'm not a fan of having multiples of the same caliber. The compass shot good but I think I'll like this one more.

She's HEAVY.

And yes, I know not to lose the mags because they are stupid expensive.

Always been a bolt guy but I was at the pawn shop and they had this in the back. I jumped on it. They were asking 900, I put $540 down.

I'll be removing the scope and using just irons for Arkansas woods deer hunting.

1970 BLR in 243.

Traded my tc compass 243 in as well since I figure this is a better option lol

It'll pair well with the A Bolt I have in 25.06 I imagine.

Found a BLR, made in Belgium at a pawn shop for $900. 243. Cheap scope but everything else is great on it.

Id be trading in a tc compass in 243 plus cash to get it.
