The Browning BLR Plus G10 delivers modern precision in a classic lever-action platform, combining fiber optic sights with red dot compatibility for enhanced target acquisition. This .22 LR rifle bridges traditional hunting aesthetics with contemporary shooting technology. Built for both recreational shooting and small game hunting, it offers the reliability Browning is known for with upgraded features that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard lever-action rifles that rely solely on iron sights, the BLR Plus G10 integrates fiber optic front sight technology with a drilled and tapped receiver ready for optics mounting. The G10 designation indicates premium grip panels that provide superior traction in wet conditions compared to traditional wood stocks. This configuration delivers faster target acquisition than conventional lever guns while maintaining the smooth cycling action that defines the BLR series.

- G10 composite grip panels resist moisture and provide enhanced grip texture
- .22 LR chambering offers economical shooting with minimal recoil

Field performance centers on versatility across shooting disciplines. The .22 LR chambering makes this rifle suitable for training new shooters, small game hunting within appropriate ranges, and competitive shooting events. The fiber optic sight system gathers ambient light effectively during dawn and dusk hunting periods.
