Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

I guess if I worked the action and pulled the trigger a few thousand times it might smooth up a bit.

Sounds like that first gun smith got the cogs all wrong on the reassembly.
Easy to do. I've had the trigger reworked on mine. The Gunmaker did his time four years at Purdys
So knows what he's doing. Not like some of the butchers I've seen in nz that call them selves smith
If you want to know the age of your BLR look at the serial number. See where the letter is mine is K73 so made in 1973
There will be some numbers before that.
Goggle BLR and shooting with Hobie he has an article on how to age them.

Here is the two of them on the same model rifle.

The 4-16 is significantly smaller.

Dunno mate. Never actually shot it yet.

Looks clear enough and has etched reticle.

For $489 its hard to moan about quality really. The clicks are positive (but not like a Nightforce) has enough mag for the small critters, reticle is actually quite functional and uncluttered, both red and green illumination and the glass is ok really. In fact, I like it more than the Sightron S-Tac scope I had.
The Sight picture suffers a bit with some clarity at high mag but all in all, so far it looks really good for the money.
I'm a big fan of 50mm objectives so this gives me the field of view I want at the cheap price and, to be honest, it doesn't hurt to keep it if I have to go overseas quickly.

I'll get a Nightforce or Bushnell DMR-ERS as the next "true long range" scope when I know I have time to reload and the funds to build or buy some kind of .260 but for now, this will do!

I must add that I put the 4-16x50 on my son's .223 so it was less than $1k for two scopes. The 4-16x50 offers better edge to edge clarity and is perfect for the intended use of smashing gongs out to 300yds and small critters.

I have had a quick play with a 3-15 one.

If they work well in regards to dialing I would say pretty awesome for the price.

Glass wasn't to shabby at all.
Very surprised. Bulky tho.

Yes, quite heavy.

We won't be hiking all day and I have a biathlon sling for the young fella so he can carry the weight easier.

Hey @SlimySquirrel Where did you source the biathlon sling from?

I got it in the states but my Mum has decided she can make them. Do you want me to ask her for a price?
