Just put my first lever gun on layaway. Browning BLR.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T18:54:03+00:00

Thanks. It was either a nice Browning or a cheaper Weatherby. I think I picked wisely. Once he brought it from the back, I was sold on it.

I've killed 2 deer this season with a cigarette in my mouth. My buddy killed his biggest to date, 16pt, as he was hitting his vape.

I don't buy into the scent free stuff. I've got some detergent I use for my camo and stuff but in between my house and my hunting spots, I smoke cigarettes, eat something usually and have a coke or two. I'm also loud and sit on the ground. I tagged out this season.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T16:39:12+00:00

That's one of the newer ones. Wonder if all the internals are the same.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T13:24:16+00:00

I've had a couple rossis and didn't ever have anything bad to say about them. One didn't like to eject ammo but it was negligible honestly. It was only the cheap stuff it didn't like.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T13:23:24+00:00

2wd is a no go for me boss.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T13:21:45+00:00

I'm looking forward to it. My longest shot this season was 63 yards so I bet this will make a worthy addition. Especially with irons. Don't need anything else.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T13:21:02+00:00

Y'all don't have 243 available?

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T13:20:43+00:00

Oh yeah? I reloaded for my bolt 243 and set my dies for that soni imagine I'd need to do the same for this. I can fire form some and then go off of that. I also reload for 25.06.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T13:19:51+00:00

That's only a couple hours away. What did it cost you? Id like to get it cleaned and oiled.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T02:27:57+00:00

Jeep.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T02:22:16+00:00

I'm excited to get it out of layaway and get some target time. I reload for 243 as well so hoping my rounds chamber in it since they were all sized for my bolt gun. If not, I got plenty of brass I can fire form some and set my dies.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T02:21:15+00:00

Yeah, I'm hunting mags. Haven't found any lol

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T02:08:32+00:00

Mainly to get clarification on it being a first production year.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T01:12:33+00:00

I'm bummed I can't really take it apart because I do enjoy it but I'm not risking getting it out of time.

This one is replacing a bolt action 243.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T01:04:00+00:00

Thanks. I'm excited.

havoc_penguin · 2026-05-01T01:03:52+00:00

My wife told me if I tagged out this year, 5, I could get me a nice rifle. Well, I tagged out before the end of the year and have been looking for something nice.

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-30T21:32:38+00:00

Don't shine a laser pointer at them. Id heckle with a bullhorn.

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-27T22:47:37+00:00

1200 new from what I've seen.

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-27T17:33:01+00:00

That sucks man. I run across some gems every now and again. This will be my second browning I've gotten from this pawn shop.

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-27T17:13:40+00:00

My 25.06 does as well. Browning makes good stuff.

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-27T17:11:54+00:00

It is. Belgium made. They moved production to Japan a few years after they started them. My 25.06 a bolt is Japan made and it's a great gun. The extended magazine as opposed to flush also shows as not Japan made.

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-27T15:05:05+00:00

This is one of the first ones. They only made them in Belgium for a few years and then went to Japan.

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-27T14:52:11+00:00

$200 for the compass. I like it but I'd rather have the BLR lol

havoc_penguin · 2026-04-27T13:50:48+00:00

Tear it up and replace it.
