Default Browning Lever action

I had a Mirokou Lever Action in .308W for my main rifle in Australia for over twenty years.
I had various 3 x 9 x 40 scopes but the last one that has lasted was a good Leopold.
It killed many, many dingoes, pigs and roos off the crops Down-Under.

When I reloaded my brass, working up my loads to the best for that rifle, and IF I did my job properly, it was very comfortable with 3 shot groups of under an inch.
My dad used to say I "stretched" the barrel when we were shooting roos off the wheat as that little rifle would make some very long shots at times!

It is extremely "pointable" and very easy to use. When actually hunting, I carried the 5th bullet chambered with the hammer down.

Unfortunately the barrel and chamber wore out. I went to get a new barrel and ended up buying a 2nd hand Browning Lever Action instead.
A bonus of this rifle is that my wife likes it and handles it well to kill bison if needed.

It is tough and accurate and light and big enough for almost anything in Canada in .308.
Enjoy it - those who are lucky enough to own one.
