Browning bar mk3 dbm

I bought one a month ago and have finished the break in process.the trigger is 3,5 lbs with some creep on the front end. It hasn't failed to function once but is picky about ammo.mine so far it hasn't liked anything other than Remington 150 core loks. It was the fourth ammo I tried, before that I was disappointed. It's shooting good now with 1 inch groups at 100 if I do my part.

Just bought one with a walnut stock and 18 inch barrel. It has shot a wide variety of bullet weights (150,165,180) very well. A few handloaded 150 grain and 170 grain round nose have also shot well. Half dollar size groups with all of them if not a touch better; plenty good for deer hunting.

I'm very impressed with its balance. The only dislike is that shirt snagging thick, awkward recoil pad. They are the norm on most guns now. I reckon most are just standing cunnilingusi now! They are completely unnecessary on a hunting rifle for one never feels recoil when firing at game.
 
I doubt that you could hand load a more accurate bullet than these 150 grain core locks. I'm getting m o an out to three hundred yards and couldn't be happier.
 
I have a 300wsm hells canyon. It is a tack driver with most ammo. However, IMO my 742/7400s carry better in the woods. It is a bulky thick gun.

That may very well be true.

As a woods hunter anything is accurate enough at 50 yards or less. Hell, that's shotgun slug range.

Feels like a very expensive 2x6 everytime i shoulder one

Some guns feel like that because we are all built differently. For me, a bolt action may shoulder as quickly as other styles but it is a damned cumbersome activity to work the action.

I like the BAR but it will never carry or point as naturally as a 94 Winchester.
