BLR is short for Browning Lever Rifle. The precision button-rifled stainless barrel has a protective precision crowned muzzle and a sporter profile. Quality-driven Miroku machines the barrels individually and checks interior bores for straightness with air gauges, etc.

Regardless of caliber or model, each receiver is matte nickel-finished aircraft-grade lightweight aluminum. It’s also drilled and tapped for optic mounts and grooved with long glare-reducing serrations along the top. Inside is a multi-lug locking bolt and a rack and pinion lever-action. The travel moves with the lever to decrease finger pinches. In back is a four-position folding hammer indicating full-cock, half-cock, folded hammer position or fired position.

Browning uses nice Grade I walnut with 18 LPI cut checkering in pennants for both to the forearm and stock. The grain is generally parallel to the barrel and the gun’s linear axis. The forearm has a front Schnabel bulb for a more comfortable grip and better control. The totality looks great.

These guns have adjustable iron sights. The gold bead front sight is dovetailed into the elevated ramp sight post. It’s paired with a square notch screw-adjustable rear sight. The stock is beautiful too. And it’s backed by a polymer recoil pad. Except for possibly a few outliers, each model’s stock’s silhouette includes a straight and level check with a 1” drop. Thus, both drop at cheek and drop at comb at 1”. And you get matte nickel sling swivel studs in front and back.

The detachable box magazine is infinitely more practical than the older tube magazine configuration. It decidedly alters the gun’s profile and makes the barrel stand out more. Most importantly, it permits multiple magazines one can swap quickly and use with modern pointed bullet calibers rather than the flatter ones usually seen in lever-actions.

In sum, the Browning BLR Lightweight Stainless with Pistol Grip is a wonderful, modern, Made in Japan lever-action with plenty of options to please plenty of people.
