Thank you for all the replies. The Takedown version of the BLR is sexy, but I really like the walnut stock.

Those calibers would top my list of BLR chamberings, along w 270 and 30-06 if I wanted more power or longer reach.
You're absolutely right elkduds. I can't blame the gun, my misses were on me. I'm just interested in a change and switching guns and enjoying the .358 was the catalyst to my current line of thought. I like the idea of shooting heavier bullets, since I never shoot at the longer (200+ yard) ranges anyway.
