What does everyone think about the Browning BLR in 7mm Rem? What about for long range hunting?

What accuracy do you expect from a BLR? For long range, you want less than 1 MOA, the less better the further you go.

I have always been interested in Browning BLR's, and was wondering on accruacy and how far could shoot.
Its a beautiful gun. But overall I would say no to long range due to the typical for-end, lever gun trigger issues. However doesn't mean you couldn't get lucky and get one that would be capable or do some work on it to make it capable. But odds of pulling it out of the box and shooting well enough to make 700 yd+ shots consistently might be pushing it for its design purpose.
I was looking at a couple of these this past week and the triggers were horrendous!
A new one at the local gun store had about a 12 pound pull weight. Then looked at a used one that supposedly had professional trigger work done to it, better but still in the 8 pound range. I couldn't do it.
