Browning BLR in 30-06?
I have no experience with this BLR. Any experience with the takedown version of this caliber in the BLR? I'm interested in accuracy and performance. How are the sights?

Question on model 98 mauser
Anyone seen one done in 12 gauge? I saw one today and it really grabbed my attention. I dint buy it but for 275 I should have. I started my hunting days with a bolt action 20, but the Mauser action and 12 gauge would make a really keel cabin gun for walking the game lands with.
