Went to buy a used Browning rifle with a Leupold....Wasn't expecting this.

I went to buy a Browning BBR 300WM that had a leupold on it, sight unseen. When I showed up...I paid the man and ran. Only the 2nd one I've ever seen ( I'm sure you have seen many). 2007 model

Send it to @Formidilosus for drop testing.

I don't remember ever seeing one. Are you going to keep it?

Oof! Incredible score!

It's almost 20 years old. I'll give you $50 for it if you pay for shipping.

I remember seeing those advertised but have no experience with them. Were they immune to the other issues (won't hold zero, crooked reticles/turrets) Leupold is/was known for?

Also, am I reading that turret correctly? .300WM 165 at 2675?

My reduced loads for my old 30-06 beater/loaner gun are hotter than that. Weird.

Also, you mentioning the BBR brings back memories. Grandpa had one in 30-06 and another in 25-06. They were nice rifles, or at least I thought so as a kid. I'm aware that they have certain quirks but they sure were pretty.

Yea that is kinda slow for a 300 mag. My 30/06 reloads with168 Barnes TTSX is 2800 fps and that is a pretty mild load.
