Matt, My Father-In-Law found a Belgium Browning BLR .308 at a garage sale in Oregon 7 years ago, still wrapped in the cosmoline paper it came in. He picked it up for $400. It shoots sub MOA and is one of my favorite rifles. I put a Nikon MONARCH 3 2-8x32 BDC scope on it to keep it streamlined. The only bad thing I have had happen with the rifle is that is does not want to shoot in sub 20 deg F temps. Yes, all the grease is gone, I sent it back to Browning after it wouldn't fire in the field on KS winter. The could find no reason why this is an issue. Needless to say, it is a 40 deg and above rifle but fun to shoot. We did a deer management hunt years ago and my son took 16 doe with it in 1 afternoon. All the meat went to a food bank in N. TX. It is a warm weather shooter for sure!
