Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

I have a blr in 270win, but haven't shot it much. How's the accuracy with it? I only bore sighted mine just to shoot steel. Need to shoot paper and dial it in with the factory ammo i have on hand then go from there. In 27cal have bullets from 90-150gr. Waiting on the 277fury ar barrel (22" 8t) I might load up to 150's in it.

I have a 10 twist 26" 277 Fury barrel coming. Im going to try 140 Hybrids and 150 ABLR.

Im forming those 277 hybrid cases into 308 win for a gas gun now. I'll most likely do the same for my 6mm Creedmoor gas gun.

The BLR in 308 referenced in this post was a friend's dad's rifle. It shot well enough tp put those whitetail on the ground with one shot each at 80 and 40 yards...so minute of deer!
My BLR in 358 will do groups as small as 1" at yards with its preferred load with the 220 gr Speer Hot Cor at 2209 fps out of its 20" barrel (load is 50 gr of W748 in WW cases and ignited by a WLR primer).
It will produce 1.1" groups with 35.5 gr of Re-7 and 1.2 groups with 47.5 gr of W748 with the 225 gr Partitions. Sorry didn't chrony these loads bac in the day (2003).

I know of others who have gotten great accuracy out of their BLRs; DrMike had a BLR in 358 Win that would shoot less than 1/2" groups with the 200 gr TSX if I recall correctly. Gerry now owns that rifle and can provide further input on its accuracy.

An update on the new-to-me LH X Bolt All Weather on 308 Win.
I did pick up a box of the Nosler 165 gr AccuBond ammo. It produced a 3 shot group of 1.240" at 100 yards, at 2789 fps.

I shot the Federal 175 gr terminal Ascent ammo again, and produced a group of 0.792" at 2561 fps, with an ES of 21.8 and a SD of 8.3.
That gives an average group size of 0.757" now. Was smacking the gongs out to 400 standing and sitting off the Bog DeathGrip, as well as a metal pig someone set up out at 450 yards. Having fun!
I also found a guy with a NIB carbon fibre Bog DeathGrip with the Infinite head for sale at a savings of $170 over new in the store, so have that on the way too! It'll be about 2 pounds lighter for packing on stalks.

I did chat with our outfitter for our SA safari next May too. His son is using 165/168 gr ammo in the LH Rem 700 suppressed rifle we will be using, but he could not recall the bullet at the moment.
He is going to see if he can get the Federal 175 gr Terminal Ascent ammo to try in it for us. I would really like to try that bullet on African game first hand (I had such good performance with it in the 6.5 CM in New Zealand!).
