I'm wanting to learn some about the BAR rifles. Due to a shoulder injury, it has become somewhat painful to shoot much in these calibers in bolt guns. I live near and hunt in grizzly country, the 338 would be my first choice because of the chance of running into a bear with a poor sense of humor when hunting elk or anything else up on the mountain. Reliabilty is very important to me.
So, I guess the main questions are, how is the reliabilty of the BAR's in 338 and 30-06 cal?
How has accuracy been for anyone that has had one?
How much are they on todays market in used but excellent condition?
Anything to look for when seeking a BAR? IE are Japanese and Belgian guns equally reliable? Japanese doesnt bother me, the experience I've had with other Japanese Brownings has been outstanding.
Thanks for any useful information.
I'm not interested in Remington autoloaders.
