My BAR is a Mk1 (I think) Made in 1969. It’s a 300 win mag. It’s not a gun I take to the range and shoot a box or 2 of ammo through it. Just too much...
I ran mostly federal ammo in my blr I had. No issues.
We just put a vortex diamondback HP 4x16x42 deadhold BDC on our old savage 340 in 222rem. I went with a side mount from Hammers. We’re very happy...
New gun to you? What’s the history of it?
For myself, that wouldn’t do it for magnification. I’d be using a 3006 for moose hunting. I like a 12x zoom these days for the hunting we do.
When I was around 10yo, my grandparents bought me a spanking new BL22 for my bday. That was back in the mid 80’s. Still have that 22 today and all my...

Dated thread here but I feel I should comment. I own both a Belgium made Browning and a Japan made Browning. They are both very high quality...

Do yourself a favour. Buy yourself a good reloading book, based on the bullets your using. It will be worth every nickel.
I’ve never had a problem with accuracy with my bar. If you have one 30-06 hunting rifle already, why did you need another one?
My old BAR v1 300 WM shoots and knocks down the deer and moose I point it at. That’s what matters to me. It’s not a gun I take to the range however.
