My Dream gun.......

[Robhuntandfish]

okay ..... pulled the trigger ....so to speak.   Couldnt help it.  This is the gun I have always wanted and i just got it yesterday.  A Browning BLR lever in 30-06.  Put a nikon 2x7 on it.  Now i have my one favorite rifle to use for deer, bear, hogs, moose, elk (never been for moose or elk but trying to draw some tags, going for hogs in SC next year).  But this is the gun i have been eyeing forever.  

Whats the gun youve always wanted that you havent gotten......

[AaronBlaine]

Ha! That's freakin cool man I really like it! And it's a beast in 30 06 lol I hunt with 30 06 and while there is a lot of debate on caliber I love knowing I can easily drop a bear or any large game for that matter ethically and quickly.  Having that caliber in a repeater is sweeet enjoy it man and I hope you drop something with it this season! 

[sodfather]

That is a beauty right there. The only gun that comes to mind right now that I always wanted is a Uzi 9mm cause Arnold would say it in the first Terminator movie and I'd love to pull up to the target range with that to see everyone's face

[bugsNbows]

Gotta love the BLR... great choice. Good luck. 

[Robhuntandfish]

leaving on an adirondack bear hunt tomorrow.  Doubting i will get to use it cause its gonna be 87 degrees for crying out loud, but am ready.  Love a lever action and 30-06.  so this was the one for me.

How's she shoot? I have had a handful of blr's they are pretty guns! The only one that stayed was the 358win. Had a 270short mag that was the best shooter in the bunch " would hold 1"@100yds" but didn't care for the cartridge. All the other blr's were honest 1.5-2" guns. My dream gun hasn't been built yet. I want a semi or pump with in overall length around 35" a 16" barrel that weighs under 5lbs scoped in 35 rem or 358 Winchester. I'm probably as close as I'll ever be with my current Remington 7615 in 450 bushmaster. Should be around 6.5lbs scoped

last three shots yesterday afternoon all in line in bull at 100.  Did one click up on scope ,  Should be ready to go.  Had to get used to trigger.  I am used to those accutriggers and this one is a little stiffer but not too bad.

My buddy who hunts the ADKs swears by his father's BLR, and hunts with it any chance he gets.  That lever action makes it easier to keep an eye on that target for follow-ups...  Congrats on the acquisition, and hopefully you get a harvest to go with it.

Oh, and to answer your question, Browning BLR in 30-06 is what I've really been eyeing for the past few years.  Color me jealous.  Ha.

Beautiful rifle!! To get your "dream rifle" is a satisfaction that is really hard to beat! She shoots as well as she looks too! Wishing you many years of hunting success and joy while carrying your dream in the field.

I too will be carrying my "dream rifle" for the first time this year. A Sako 85 Classic in 270 topped with a Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40  I too dreamed of this rifle for a long time. My buddy moog5050 made the purchase possible. Getting a deer with it this season, will only be the icing on the cake!

best of luck to us both!  we need to break them in!  I traded in a savage 220 20g to help pay for it.  But glad I did. .270 is def a great round and works for everything too.

I love my T/C pro hunter.... always wanted to get a 338 win mag barrel for it... wife got it for me for our anniversary in 2013, killed a 40" Newfie Bull with it that October and then killed a 52" kudu, a monster blue wildebeest, a giant Black wildebeest and a ostrich with it in 2014... Love the gun... got 30-06, 25-06, and 50 cal BP barrels for it..
