The BLR 358!!

[FOTIS]

Well my buddy picked it up for me in Vegas so it should reach me soon!

He was nice enough to send me some pictures.

It will be fun!!

 

[.280 Remington]

Very nice Fotis!

Hopefully it'll shoot as good as it looks! Nice pick up!

 

[FOTIS]

Got a bunch of 748 TAC and some other stuff.

Additionally 4 boxes of NP 225 I got from Eric.

Congratulations on one fine rifle buddy.

They are sharp looking rifles. That one looks particularly nice. Congratulations, Fotis.

 

[Guy Miner]

Looks brand new!

It is NIB but "old"

It is NIB but "old"

That's the best kind!! I think my generation that was raised on cowboy movies with lever actions in constant use - we have a special soft spot for them. I know there were the Daisy pumps, but am guessing there were about 50 to 1 lever sales for the company in those days. How many of us had a lever gun for our first "real" gun that shot something more potent than corks?

WOW! I love it Fotis.. Might have to save up in case you decide to move that one!

Very nice and the 358Win is a pleasure to shoot. They are addictive. I carried several Rem 700's for over 30 yrs and I now find myself reaching for my BLR instinctively. I recommend some 225 SGKs for range work and softer game. Not sure if Orchemo still has any for sale.

Someone was just selling a nice Leupold 1.5x5 that would ride this gun nicely!

 

[FOTIS]

I was selling the Leo....

 

[Guy Miner]

Yes, something like a 1.5-5x Leupold would be PERFECT for the .358 BLR.

Absolutely PERFECT! :grin:

 

[FOTIS]

It is not going to get that because I sold it. It will get a very compact leupy though. I have 2 or 3 on hand.

Why did I think you already had a .358 BLR?

I do Kurt. Kids need 35 calibers too though!

 

[FOTIS]

Sickos!!!! All of us!

Your really going to like how slick the action is. I have one in .308 that was made in the late 1970's. It's one I will never sell. The older I get the more I like lever guns.

Fotis, I have one just like that, without the folding hammer. I drank the enabler Kool-aid Dr Mike was dispensing and got it through Cabelas.

Mine shoots 225 Sierras just fine and I would really like to find some of the 200 AB's to try but no one seems to have them.

I use Varget in my loads but haven't chronoed them.
