I am looking at a BAR Safari. I have never shot one. Prior to doing more research on my own I just wanted to know what the word about these rifles
Looking at a 308 or 270 give me all the good and the bad.

Sht! Nice gun. Don't know if anyone here has one, cause no one's answering. Don't know if you've seen this site yet, but it might help.

Browning BAR's are the best semi auto in my opinion

No bad commentary from me. It is a high quality gun and like all of the more complex actions it is your job to keep it clean and properly lubricated then the gun will do its job.
Shoot factory power loads or the equivalent and stay away from hot loads/extreme light or heavy bullets..

The Browning Auto is a great rifle. The two calibers you are looking at will do just nicely for the rifle intended purpose. If your shots will be on the long side, I would go for a bolt action.

Hi
I presume Zinzer is interested in the 270 or 308 for deer hunting. I'm interested in buying a BAR Safari semi-auto or even a Benelli R1 in the 300 Win Mag for a wide range of hunting including Moose. For most hunting, I need a quick follow-up shoot because of the thick terrain in my hunting territory.

The range of ammunition available for the 300 Win Mag is good from 150 gr to 200 gr. maybe not has wide has the 30-06 but still good enough for deer to moose... I would appreciate your input in my choice. I'm sure Zinzer will benefit also.
