Browning 7mm Rem. Mag.

[MickHunter]

Hey guys looking at buying a Browning lever action 7mm Rem. Mag. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about this riffle?

[7mm-08]

I have a few friends with the Browning BLR's and they all love them and haven't had any problems with them!!!!

Thanks.
Are they the bigger calibers? My old man has a 243 BLR and he really likes it. Just Wondering if the 7mm would jam much or if they are as trouble free as the 243?

A few of them have the 308win and one has a 30-06 and none of them have had any problems!!!

I have been looking at the same gun?
are they as accurate as a bolt action?
wish they came in stainless steel barrel?

They come in a laminate stainless, but they are hard to find. Bashaw has one but it is a takedown model in a 270.

I love it. Actually got my first deer (With this Gun) last Sunday.

I called it a medium sized 8 point but I might be biased.

I have never had a single problem. Never a feeding issue and I have put a few boxes through the gun at the range.

The gun is as accurate as I can be with it.

For me they are the best looking gun on the market. Again that's for me, not looking to start a debate. I have a friend that has one in 7mm and he hasn't mentioned any issues with it.

Yup...

I've been impressed enough with my .325 WSM BLR (PG) that the other day I went down finally and bought a .243 nearly identical. The .325 is wood/blued, the .243 is wood (not laminate) with stainless barrel.

No feeding issues noted yet at all, actually no issues with pretty much anything .. EXCEPT... if you don't like a firm trigger pull. It's just something to get used to if you've been shooting light triggers, not a real issue to me.

Another minor issue with the .325... I can't find a light bullet/bullet recipe that it likes. Had to buy the second rifle for deer. 200s are ok, 220s seem best for my .325. But it seems to hate 180s. Maybe I just haven't found a 180 of a flavor it likes.

I agree with Doodle30.. to me they're a classy looking rifle Maybe ESPECIALLY the Stainless version!

I had one in a 7mm Rem Mag and it worked and shot fine.

I would only get it in the Pistol Grip style though. The straight grip has too much drop in the stock. The recoil and muzzle jump would be unpleasant.
