Browning BAR owners

[ChrisK1977]

I just got one on a trade. If he happens to a member here and he sees this thread thanks again for the trade.
Mine is in .338 Win Mag.

Mine is a Safari in .243. Doesn't get much better in an autoloader. Is the .338 a heavy thumper? Either way, congrats and enjoy!

I am sure it is. I have not shot mine yet. Mine has really nice wood but no scrolling on the receiver like the Safari Grades. Does have the gold trigger but several Browning guns have that.

Wow, 3900 foot lbs of energy. My shoulder hurts just thinking about it. That's territory. Just kiddin, that's way cool.

Mine's old and isn't pretty but it works well.

 

[ChrisK1977]

That’s what you call a property line gun. When you want to make sure they don’t run hit them with a .338!

Ok, your rifle is cooler

Just when I thought I didn’t need another rifle..

Definitely on my bucket list

I have the sporter version in .30-06.

 

[ChrisK1977]

I always wanted one. I figured if I got one it would of been a .30-06,.270 or .308. So I was surprised when I found one in .338 Win Mag. Kinda unpractical but I have a few of those guns.

Damn it Leadeye, Every pic post you make I say "he probably doesn't have anything cooler than this" and you go and one up yourself

Leadeye that's nice.

Leadeye, you need to adopt me, and that is a given...

Shot my rifle three times at 50 yards just to see how it would do with the rifled sights. I will be fine if I keep it 100 yards or less. I don’t have too many rounds to waste and no bases for mounting a scope yet.
What I like about this rifle is that it really soften the recoil of the .338 Win Mag. Feels like a 12 gauge field load. Pretty sure if it was a bolt gun or rifle like the Ruger No.1 the recoil would be much greater. This rifle is not that bad at all.
