[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 3071682, member: 49619"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="blr zeiss 1.JPG"]558551[/ATTACH] Old Browning BLR 81 in 308 topped with a slightly younger Zeiss Diavari 1.5x6 on Talley one piece rings, usurps my 94 win 30/30 as it's nearly as light and quicker to unload at the end of the day. It's stock, not touched a thing on it except to remove the fore-end bracket and free float the barrel. It shoots way better than me and the only downside is it's so dang noisy due to the 20" barrel and powder I use. Full power, I load up speer 165 grn btsp ahead of 43 grns Vit N-150 for about 2500 fps for deer and barnes tsx 130 grn at about 3000+ fps for pigs. I won't put the powder or load as it's not one from the barnes website. I've just started developing a load for the Hornady 110 grn CX, that is so flat shooting and it's getting over 3200 fps at the start at load using the barnes 110 grn ttsx data. But it's mostly fed a diet of cast boolits, gas checked in a range of weights from 120 grn to 185 grns all pretty hard cast and I try to keep them below 2000 fps mv using them for plinking, rabbits and range work out to 200 yards. Barrel looks pretty much as it would of done in 1982 and it'll stay that way if I keep using cast boolits most the time. It sure dislikes milsurp 7.62 ammo but loves Federal brass. [/QUOTE]
