I’m pretty excited about my new(to me) BLR in 308! The gun is in excellent shape and came with a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9 scope. I got it for $800, so I am happy! I’m not sure what year it is, but it says Lightning on the barrel and from what I could tell that means it shouldn’t be any older than 2003. It looks like it sat in a gun cabinet because there are no scratches or rust on it!
