Browning - High Volume Shooting

[ktm450]

All,
I don’t hear a lot (good or bad) about Browning rifles used for classes, high volume shooting, or commercial/guided hunts. I have a number of different branded rifles and really like my Brownings.

I am curious to hear from some members who are avid rifle/class/guide shooters as to why we don’t hear more about Brownings?

I absolutely love my Browning BAR Mark 3 DBM.

It is the semi-auto in .308 with a detachable 10 round box magazine.

I have put at least a thousand cheap bulk Wyoming Cartridge Co., 147 grains FMJ's though it at the range and I have never had a jam ever. I just got it this year.

I sometimes "mag dump" and the fluted barrel gets superhot but it still functions fine, and its thin barrel cools off reasonably fast.

I have not hunted with it yet, but I am planning to and love the idea of being able to make super fast follow up shots.

I'd also be quite comfortable skipping a sidearm in Grizzly Country when carrying this semi-auto .308, with its 18" barrel it is very maneuverable.

Talk to your gunsmith about doing some custom work (barrel change, replacement parts). Mine will give you a few choice words if you mention browning. Not that it can’t be done, but I guess they give him a headache.

My two favorite rifles in this pic: The Browning BAR in .308; and the Ruger M77 in .375 Ruger.

I'm planning to use the Bronwing for antelope and deer later this year, and the Ruger for bear.
