Just wanting to share a few pics of my pride and joy and how it can shoot groups at 100 yds. Chambered in 243 win. Simmons 3x9x40 scope. 100 gr. perfecta ammo. Center to center measures 3/8". Purchased the BLR a little over a year ago from the original owner that had shot very few rounds thru it. was a safe queen.
What kind of one piece scope mount are you using? I have Weaver mounts on mine and they only offer two piece mounts. I'm having a hard time keeping them tight. I think a one piece would be better. Also, is your recoil pad original? My .308 BLR 81 with steel receiver was made in 1984 and has a rather thin and dried out recoil pad. Can't find a new pad that will fit it. Thanks.
Leupold Standard 1- pc Scope Base for Browning BLR. Here is the website: https://www.leupold.com/hunting-sho...s/std-mounting-systems/std-browning-blr-1-pc/ Using Leupold rings #49898 low. This mount system has worked great for me and has never loosened. That is the original recoil pad that came on the rifle from Browning new. I verified that when I was purchasing the rifle.
I had 308 made in Japan and it would put 2 shots in the same hole at 100 yards but the next one would go 1" higher, I just figured it had a built in lead and I was not to concerned about 3 shots at game. Loved that rifle but my step son is left handed so I gave it to him
