The Browning BLR lever action rifle combines the fast handling of traditional lever guns with modern cartridge performance in 7mm-08 Remington. This straight-pull design delivers precision shooting with detachable box magazine convenience for hunters who demand reliable cycling and accuracy.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lever actions limited to tubular magazines and specific cartridge shapes, the BLR accepts spitzer bullets and high-performance cartridges through its detachable 4-round box magazine system. The aircraft-grade aluminum receiver reduces weight while maintaining strength, and the multiple locking bolt system provides consistent lockup for enhanced accuracy. The straight-pull lever action cycles 40% faster than conventional designs while maintaining the classic lever gun feel.
