Ok, let's hear it. I want to start saving for a new rifle for hunting season and am leaning toward a Browning BAR. It will be chambered in 30-06, possibly in .308 ..... just wanted some opinions on what's out there.

IMO - the BAR just does not come close to the LR308 .
I have read all the forums on its accuracy and it just does not have sub MOA accuracy like the LR308.
the SR25 is a cool looking LR308 or you can have other calibers'

You don't need a new gun, you need to learn how to aim.

I hate semi auto rifles but a BAR is the only way to go unless you want a black gun and I'm a die hard Remington fan.

Rather have a BAR. Not a black gun fan.
