Those DBM bars have shorter barrels. They may not be quite as accurate as the longer barrelled non DBM bars. If you’re looking for a hunting rifle, I...
Dated thread here but I feel I should comment. I own both a Belgium made Browning and a Japan made Browning. They are both very high quality...
Serial number on my mid 80’s bl22 is on the side of the receiver. The year of manufacture can be determined from the serial number.
The design of the browning tube magazine is a class above the rest also.
On my ‘69 bar, last round hold open is accomplished by the clip holding the bolt open after the last round is fired. I see the new models have what...
I’ve got a ‘69 BAR in 300 win mag. It doesn’t have bolt/lock hold open feature. I suspect the new models today have that.
Do yourself a favour. Buy yourself a good reloading book, based on the bullets your using. It will be worth every nickel.
I’ve never had a problem with accuracy with my bar. If you have one 30-06 hunting rifle already, why did you need another one?
My old BAR v1 300 WM shoots and knocks down the deer and moose I point it at. That’s what matters to me. It’s not a gun I take to the range however.
It was never out of production.
Not a lot to really go wrong with these. Mine is an mk1 also. Ensure the gas piston is clean, ensure the action is clean, if your main recoil spring...
Most units made today come without sights. It’s a way to reduce manufacturing costs and browning realizes most owners will be mounting optics. They...
Yup. No reason for a rail for the bl22. It’s receiver is dovetail grooved and will accept scope bases directly to it. It’s just a bit short but it...
I recently purchased the Browning plainsman short case. Pretty sure it’s 40”. It fits my unscoped BL22 with plenty of extra room available for a...
Old thread revival. With amo prices today, the 22lr as a shooter is looking more attractive. 22 amo prices are up like most are but it’s still a...
All the new BAR’s components are manufactured in Belgium but the rifles are assembled in Portugal. I own a patent pending made in Belgium BAR in 300...
I didn’t realize the Browning website was this complicated?
Yes. I have seen that page And I’m pretty sure some of those models on that page have been discontinued for awhile now. You should also see a bunch...
Ive been frequenting the browning web site much lately as I’m in the market for a new rifle. I have seen nothing there recently indicating that the...
Not sure what exactly you saw or read there but it looks like business as usual just now when I was there. I don’t see anything about the BLR line...
