Does anyone have BLR short actions ? I have them in 243 & 284 for easy to carry woods guns. Can you get them to shoot decent groups ? Is there anything you can do to improve them ?
I had a .243 that shot fine. It liked i4831 and almost any wt bullet. The trigger was creepy and my local smith got it pretty good. Depending on the day it would do 3 shot groups at .75 to 1.25 and would probably do a nice round 1.5" group of 5 which is all I would ask of it.
I just won a blr lightning .308 in a raffle and mounted a 1-3 weaver on it. Am dieing to shoot it soon. I haven't seen any complaints for accuracy on the blr line in general.

My BLR is in 358 Win, it's a great moose gun. Factory ammo gives me about 1.5 MOA, handloads about 1.25 on average. That's about the most I expect from a lever gun, no matter what type. - Dan

I had one of the early ones in .358, and it was a genuine 1 MOA rifle when fired with 51.5 grains of WW 748 behind a Speer 250-grain spitzer. I never had to do anything to it!! A great rifle!!
