Winchester mod 88

I have a pre-64 Mod. 88 and they're nice, handsome rifles, if mine is any indication. The complaint about them is that they don't usually have nice crisp trigger pulls. The BLR I have in 358 Winchester also looks nice and it has a nice trigger pull. I've read that if the BLR action goes out of whack it can be problematic to get back to working condition again. But keep in mind that I read that and haven't experienced it. Maybe you can work a deal where you just buy the rifle from him.

Brant Either model is kind of a tossup both are good guns I’ve owned several BLR’s they’re exceptionally good guns but so is the model 88 although I’ve never owned one my brother-in-law has one that he has shot deer and elk every year for the last 50 years. He hasn’t had any trouble with it he probably shoots less than 100 rounds a year but it’s still a good gun, I would look at the overall condition of both guns and if they’re in good shape I would take whichever one that suits your fancy or that you can make a deal for I’m sure you’ll be happy with either one.
