This year I was sucked in when I stumbled across Browning made their BAR Stalker in a 308 CARBINE configuration, limited run and non-cataloged. Synthetic stock, matte finish with fluted 18" barrel. I always wished that Browning had made a shorter-barreled semi auto.
Couldn't pass it up.
Topped it off with a Leup 1.5-5x heavy duplex and it is quite nice. Grouped exceptionally well using plain old Rem 150gr Core-lokt ammo on the first range outing:
Only complaint for me so far is that I wish the stock were a bit higher for (me) better scope alignment.
And the trigger is kinda mushy, not crisp.
....but it shoots great....
