I am about to buy a Browning BAR in .243 to use as my long range, fast shooting coyote rig (I don't seem to call in too many, but when I do there are often multiples and I think an autoloader would be a great advantage in hammering more than one). Since it comes in a variety of camo patterns I don't even need to worry about painting the thing once I get it to deal with Mr. Wiley's excellent vision. I also plan to use this gun as my son's first deer rifle as it should have next to zero recoil in an autoloader of that caliber (especially since it has a recoil pad as well). My question for guys who own one is how easy is this thing to clean and how reliable is it? As I general rule I am not a fan of automatic rifles or pistols as they seem to hang up at the most inopportune times, but I hoping the BAR is better than average as I hear good things about them. What do you guys have to say?
