I have the BAR lightweight stalker in 300WSM with the BOSS and the same gun in .308 without. The 300WSM has significantly less felt recoil, but is loud. The BOSS is more accurate, but LOUD.
I didn't hesitate to get the alloy receiver. I expect to put 50-100 rounds a year through each gun working on loads and fiddling around. I have other guns for volume shooting. Heavier barrels and lighter calibers for the most part.

The M1 is a great .308 (30/06 if you can find an original) but the caliber choices are somewhat limited... It's hard to beat a Belgium Browning... The BAR isn't a lightweight, but doesn't an M1 weigh somewhere around 10lbs bone stock??? That's a lot of weight to lug around in the field... Not to mention that BAR's are more friendly to optics mounting...

Coastie they are factory chamberings, my uncle owns one and I am sure there are a few out there yet for sale. Here is one that sold, not sure how old the ad is though http://www.gunsamerica.com/987597588...therby_Mag.htm
Here is another one about 6 months ago http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=250572 |

Wow! $800 for a BAR
 You'd be hard pressed to find one in that condition for less than $1k around here...That's pretty neat about the factory rechambering... I didn't know Browning offered that... I wonder if a .300 Wby Mag would work???   Learn something new every day... Thanks for the info...
