Browning BAR sporting....???
Local Fun store has a Belgium Browning 30-06 BAR . Anyone ever have one? Good ,Bad or ugly..... .
Re: Browning BAR sporting....???
.
Once upon a time (mid 1970's), I had a then new .30-06 Browning Grade I BAR, upon which I top mounted a Williams WGRS receiver peepsight.
The one I has was marked "made in Belgium" & "assembled in Portugal".
It was reliable, accurate and pretty good-looking (IMHO), over the 5 or 6 years I owned it.
For hunting, I reduced the shiny finish via applying a coat of paste wax, letting the wax dry w/o cleaning/rubbing it off.
I took one of the biggest Maine Whitetail bucks I've run across with it, the Fall after I bought it.

Forgot to say it`s also 30-06. Does anyone make a hi cap magazine for it? It could be a ultimate battle rifle on D-Day!

It would be kind of hard to get a 30/06 in a 308 magazinePisgah wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 2:45 pmBooger Bill wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 9:54 am Forgot to say it`s also 30-06. Does anyone make a hi cap magazine for it? It could be a ultimate battle rifle on D-Day!

And equally hard to explain why a .308 wouldn't do just as well as a .30-06 in a battle rifle.
