.366torqueI see it needs a "scout scope" though

boom sticki love scout scopes...
you keep both eyes open and can see everything around you better cuzz the scope is smaller and forward.

.366torqueOk but tell that to a 300 WM owner. 2-300 yds is out there for a low powered scope.
Unless other Detachable mounts were used on the reciever.

Fish30114I want one, but I'm with .366torque, I'd want tradional scope mounts and scope.
Wonder is it's drilled to accept standard bases too?

catboatCall me old fashioned, but I like the older style BLR. Scalloped receiver, boxy magazine.
I had one in 358 Win (Japan made, not Belgium). Wish I had it. My friend has a Belgian made BLR in 308 win. Whenever I see it, I am reminded to kick myself when I go home for selling my 358.
I think the reason I sold my BLR was that the drop at comb was too much for a low mounted scope, and that I couldn't easily clean the barrel from the breach. It least that's how I remember justifying selling it today.
I didn't like the recent run of BLR lightning models-just too many curves and distractions to the lines of the rifle.
Like I said, call me old fashioned, and a stick in the mud. I can take it.
My mid bore needs are satiatied with my 35 Rem Marlin 336, CZ 550 9.3x62, and Marlin 1895 45-70, and Savage 99EG 300 Savage. I honestly don't miss my BLR that much, but I do prefer the classic lines of the older version's receiver.

boom stickthey are drilled and tapped for a scope on the receiver i found out...

gduffeyI am not interested, however, it looks like the idea is to remove the "zeroed" scope with its specific barrel. I can't imagine how this could be very accurate, or repeatable, much less interchanging calibers/cartridges. I guess theoretically if you can match BC with velocity you could do it. Seems like a lot of trouble to me. I have a Steyr scout and the scope arrangement will surprise you at long distance. Its not much of a handicap. gduffey

gduffeymeaning mounted on the reciever. The barrel mount makes the most sense IMHO.
