Selling a Browning Model 81 BLR (short-action) 7mm-08 rifle. Serial Number shows Rifle was manufactured in 1990 (purchased in 1992) and had a box shot through it and put away in a safe until recently. I put a Nikon 4x12x40 BDC scope on it and Custom made Warne Return to Zero rings and bases (These are over $150 by themselves). This gun has recently been sighted in with Hornady Lite 120 grain ammo at 100 yards and BDC verified out to almost 500 yards.
As you can see in pictures, gun is in great condition cosmetically and in it's function. (I have more pictures to send someone who is serious and wants close-up shots) It has very little issues on wood or blueing. Bright action and works flawlessly! Detachable 4 round magazine in perfect shape also.
Includes 2 boxes of Hornady Lite 120 grain ammo. (40 rounds) and a hard case. For those reloaders out there: A bonus of 7mm-08 set of Dies, 2 types of powder (each can about half full), 2 packs of rifle primers, 15 rounds already reloaded and a box (18) of Hornady 162 grain bullets.
Yes, this gun looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. Has the steel reciever (not alloy as newer ones have) , wth the 6 locking lugs in the reciever (not in the barrel as in newer BLRs.) Don't miss out on this gun, as they do not come up in this condition very often. If it doesn't sell by new year, it will go back in the safe and be put up on an auction site and the reserve will be higher than $850. Also, comes with original owners manual.
Everything will be sold together. No "I just want the rifle for $650" emails please. This package deal is worth over $1000 and even if you do get a "new" rifle like this one from say a Budsgunshop online, you still will be paying around $800 and your not getting the gun with the steel reciever, ammo, case, scope, rings and mounts, reloading stuff. Get the picture? I am selling all this at a fair price, but for those looking to "steal" a gun, move on. I am ex-military and police and don't have time for those games.
Please be local to Woodbridge, 18 or over and willing to sign a BOS. "IF AD IS UP, GUN IS STILL AVAILABLE." NOT TRADING, JUST SELLING. Any low-ball offers or questions of "is gun still for sale?" will be ignored. Please put BLR in message title, so I know it isn't spam. Thanks for reading!!!
