Think I had warne mounts on mine and they came in nice and low with the scope I have 4x32

Very aware, know a few people with BLR's all have offered the same advice "it'll heat up quickly" does make load development a bit tedious but not the end of the world, once I've nailed a load it'll likely never shoot more than 2 consecutive shots very often.

If you have the one rifle load development is a right pain. I’m feeling the pain lol.
Anyway I’d swap between rifles and leave the actions open to help with the cooling.
