Father's Day/25th Anniversary Gift

[Bubbas4570]

My wife surprised me greatly on Father's Day with something that I have had on my wish list for a few months, a new (to me) levergun! I had been looking at getting a 308 Long Ranger, and possibly converting it down the road into 358 Winchester.......but she beat me to the punch with a BLR in 358 Winchester! Her comment was this a mostly an anniversary gift, but part father's day gift also.....

I was speechless for a minute with my boys and her all standing around me handing over a blanket wrapped gift. I had seen this on a local sales board over a month back and had commented that this one is ready to go, no converting, only a rear sight needed, and it already has the first scratches put in it. Needless to say, I was holding my new beauty in hand......with smiles all around.

And she made sure there was some range time before the evening meal with the new addition also.....no problems to report, just a new rear sight necessary.

Pics to follow shortly, they are on my phone.

Nice rifle Bubba. Better keep that woman around for another year

I definitely plan on it. We have both come to the conclusion that retraining anyone else/finding someone else that would put up with our stuff......would just be too hard.

Very cool! Looks like you've got a rear sighting system in mind! Please keep us posted.

So many calibers, so little time...

Good to hear the longevity is different than what I have seen locally. But that sample is only "1" big.......

I traced mine back to 2009, so it is a young one, but looks to be a good one.

Leaning towards XO sights, as I really like the ones on a different rifle and the ones on my P30.
