BLR Accuracy
I just picked up a BLR in 7-08. It is, by far, the most accurate lever action firearm I have ever had my hands on.
I am shooting 120 grain bullets in it using Reloader 15 powder. Five shot groups at 100 yds. stay around 3/4 inch. I have handled a ton of bolt action firearms that will not shoot that well.
I am not saying every BLR will shoot that good, but mine does! I am looking forward to deer season and a chance to "blood" the rifle.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
