I have a bar shorttrac in .308. I was obsessively ocd about breaking in the barrel, slowly shooting 20 rounds and cleaning between each. I made sure...
The couple of muzzle brakes ive had on hunting rifles have helped, but im not sure theyre worth the recoil reduction. I would sell it or keep it for...
I also use a lot of fusion ammo. It is inexpensive, reliable, and has good terminal performance. Ive found that my browning and fn/winchesters prefer...
[ATTACH] Shot this nice sow with my .308 BAR Shorttrac. She was about 200 lbs on the hoof. Those are my buddies hanging it while I take the pic...
My BAR shortrac in .308 and Winchester xpr .308 both shoot 180 grain Federal blue box soft points like a lazer beam. Fusions are almost as good....
What caliber and what do you hunt?
I would try non-superformance ammo. Hornady explicitly states that it may not work in all semi-autos, especially those with short stroke gas systems....
I hear Ed's is great. Would like to try it if I run across it at a gun store. My cleaner du jour is Shooter's Choice. I've been really happy with it...
I just saw the hammer safety setup on the browning. Strange design. My BLR didn't have the hammer safety. I thought it was like my Marlin hammer...
I was going to say Nikon prostaff or Leupold vx-2. Both are very good for the price. The magnification range will be dependent on how you intend to...
I hog hunted with a new hunter about 20 years ago. We both had BLR's in .30-06, and he thought he knew everything about anything. His arrogance was...
I peeled mine off my BAR.
Good to know. Thanks for replying. Cheers.
My lgs is having a good sale on Winchester sxp shotguns, but extra barrels and accessories seem to be almost zero. Does anyone know if the Browning...
Are your needs for bear protection, depredation, or hunting? I think your choices are dependent on which application. Even if you use a shotgun with...
I would consider the .308. The 7mm-08 uses the same brass necked down for 7mm bullets. You can shoot the same grain weight bullets in both calibers...
Thats terrible. Did you buy the rifle sight unseen? I would call Browning about it. Nice rifle otherwise. I bet it will shoot great.
No. He was aiming for behind the shoulder in a 20+ mph wind.
My son got drawn for a rare junior hunt for cow elk. He shot my fairly new BAR ShortTrac in .308. Using the Sellier & Bellot eXergy 180 grain copper...
We didnt put him on a scale, but in comparing it to the other hogs I've shot, I'd say between 160 and 175 lbs on the hoof.
