The BLR stainless lever action rifle is a lightweight rifle ideal for slinging over your shoulder and taking on a hike. I found OSA 135gr and Outback Ammo 165gr the most accurate through the rifle.

That slo-mo footage is enjoyable to watch. Pretty cool lever action rifle that doesn't have a tubular feed and can handle today's elongated pointed bullets. Lever actions are quickly becoming my choice hunting rifle; especially, for deer. Lightweight, maneuverable, well suited for ethical game ranges, great way to cycle the rounds, slides in and out of rifle scabbards easily, etc...

Browning BLR-81 in 308 was my first rifle I purchased in 1981, still have it and enjoy shooting it. Great selling point with this rifle was one of the few lever action rifles using high power rounds like 243 and 308 and that the trigger travels with the lever thus no finger pinch, also the bolt in the rifle is very similar to an ar15 bolt that turns as you operate the lever to disengage from the barrel.

That would be my choice of calibers in this platform … that’s a heavy hitter ! Elk , moose , bear no problem ! Every hunting video I’ve watched out here , that .358 Winchester drops Em dead in their tracks ! . The .358 Winchester with a 225 grain Nosler Partition just gives you that much more confidence when encountering an angry animal that needs to be put down quickly ! And it still has good trajectory with 200 grain projectiles out to 300 yards .

As a fan of lever action rifles in general, the BLR’s action is very smooth and quick compared to most others. It uses a rack and pinion system to operate the bolt instead of levers/bars like most others (Sako Finnwolf was the first lever action to use that system). The rotating bolt has 6 locking lugs that engage with a barrel extension instead of the receiver - very much like an AR. I have the takedown version which makes for a very small package. It also makes cleaning the barrel from the breach end much easier.

Love your reviews. I had 2 BLRs in 358 Win and 7mm WSM in pistol grip, wood stock and blued. Beautiful fit and finish, light and beautiful wood. However neither gun would shoot in factory or handloads. I too found the trigger to heavy. I’m not sure if a 308 would have produced better results due to the sheer amount of different ammo to try. Thinking I should have gone with it instead of the two oddball calibers I did buy. But love the 358 cartridge though.

I have seen the movie Razorback.. You are gonna need a bigger rifle. Haha! These BLR's are well made. I love the BLR's although the steel receiver is what I mainly keep a look out for. And a super early made in Belgium would be a true find. My BLR in 7mm-08 is a very very good performer. Once people have one in their hands no matter what they felt before do fall in love with these. I would love to find out more info on Brownings/Dupont finish on their wood . It is one of the nicest finishes around. Although nowadays satin finishes are in. I miss Ausland. I lived in NSW for around 9 years . My wife is an Aussie . Why did I leave you ask? Well the heat is absolutely brutal. And the man eating spiders also can make a grown man shiver. Oh and all them pesky flies. Everyone knows the good ole Aussie wave. I also absolutely could not live with the firearm laws in Australia. Shame because there is just so much open country to go shooting. Great review. Thank you. Oh and you need to send me that "cough" crappy S&B scope. Haha.

Was in a shop recently and they had some new BLRs and an older well used 2nd hand one. Trigger on the old one was as good as any bolt action but the two new ones were pretty spongy. Couldn't feel a break point. Would have bought one if its trigger was as good. Rest of the new rifles were beautifully finished. Fully floated forearms.

Love this rifle ! I’m looking to get one chambered in .358 Winchester… I’d get it in .348 Winchester if I could ! The only thing I don’t like ( just my personal preference) is the glossy stock , and the sights , I would put a set of XS Ghost rings or Williams type peeps / tactical set up . I’ve never been an advocate of glass optics on a lever gun , but again, that’s just me , I want it for the handiness and ruggedness and quick to shoulder / quick sight acquisition in dense cover while hunting deer/ bear in the cedar swamps , and for elk in the timber’s . The high gloss looks amazing, until you take it out in the bush and it gets scratched up. Satin / matte wood stocks are a lot easier to remedy scratches than glossy stocks. And those glossy stocks are real slippery when you get them wet too . It will draw more attention from reflection than anything else on that rifle . Other than that , it’s a beautiful work of art and very fine functioning rifle . Pure class and elegance ! Cheers buddy, enjoy your Browning . And believe me , there’s nothing wrong with rifles manufactured in Japan, their quality control and attention to detail is above the industry standards .

I got one of the light weight monte carlo versions in 308, last left in the shop. Got it for $1500. It's a slick rifle and with both the Aussie Outback 165's and Federal 150's will do 1 MOA at 100 if I do my part. Outstanding accuracy from a lever gun, no doubt because it locks up as strong as a bolt action. The trigger is heavy but it's consistent with little to no creep so it doesn't bother me. The low shooting issue is weird, sure you didn't have a 10 or 20 MOA rail mounted backwards?

That good ole Aussie dollar. Sometimes I have to go and convert to USD to understand what you folks are actually paying $735.00 is what I paid for my last one which is just a bit over $1000.00 AUD. But prices here vary on what is hot and what is not . The best calibers to own with the barrel profile are . 308 , 7mm-08, 270, 22-250 and if they offer a 6.5 Creedmoor then it is a very viable cartridge. These rifles are not very fun to shoot in magnum calibers I can assure you. Their 7 Rem mag and .300 win mag absolutely suck to shoot. You will find with the lower profile barrels that once they heat up then your groups start to open up. But it is a hunting rifle and once it is sighted in you more than likely shouldn't need more than one round.

Hello, I have this exact rifle in 7mm-08, and I love it. I went without a scope the first time I took it out hunting and killed a big Mule deer buck with it. I liked it so much with the iron sights I left it that way. I have taken 3 big bucks with it since I've owned it and have never taken the scope out of the box that I bought for it. I would like one in a long action 30-06 or 7mm mag., mabey a take down version for back country work. Thanks from a fellow hunter out of Montana.

Do you sling it tip-upwards or tip-down by choice? Thanks for the gid...I wouldn’t choose the transition music, me. It’s an interesting gun, but I’m starting to wonder about the sense of 308 for a first, non-hunting, levergun. Boys always want the biggest, hardest hitting , but you pay the price for plinking and target in a number of ways - size, weight, cost, impact at the shoulder and the target. And this one won’t ever be a distance king, even 500 yards may be beyond its ken, though the cartridge is good to 800 yards typically, or further with excellent setup and studied ammunition. But it does look like fun!

I have the 1895D with a Midwest Industries M-Lok Handguard, Aimpont H34L, Browning 9 shell butt cuff, Olight BALDR Weapon Light w/Green Laser and a Q-Comp .458 SOCOM Compensator. Awesome weapon to use at the range. The older guys scoff at it though but I couldn't give a rats. Problem with it being so dry the last time I went out with the old man for a look we saw two scrawny goats that were in such bad condition he evil eyed me when I shouldered the weapon to drop 'em. I backed off, he nodded and said later if they have lived this long in such dire straits they deserve to have the chance to fight it out against the odds. The irony may be is that he thinks man made climate change isn't real. Shoulda dropped 'em, the bastards will starve to death or die of heatstroke anyways in this heat.

Nother good review Auzzie. Yeh, It did throw that other ammo round a bit. I know levers can have shits of triggers. I've got a Winchester trapper which had a terrible mushy shit heavy trigger. Did some sear squaring, filing & polishing &, although it's mechanically no lighter, it feels much lighter & breaks like glass now. Sometimes you've just gotta get shit going yourself. You may well find that, a bit of honing & squaring up the sear will make the world of difference.

Something a good smith familiar with the BLR would be able to remedy. As to the ammo I own a Browning A Bolt 11 Stainless Stalker in .308 and I gave up reloading for it once I tried the factory OutBack 165gr Sierra Gameking's. Five shots inside an inch and for the cost of buying in bulk are well worth it. Great review Ozzie and thanks for sharing!

Quite appreciated your effort at a fair review. I like your style more than many American gunners on KZbin. No idiotic nonsense, such as shooting ballistic gel gummy bears or seeing how many frozen turkeys you can waste with an elephant gun. My only issue is with the scope shooting so high. A Schmidt and Bender not having enough internal adjustment to zero at 100yards or meters just doesn't make sense to me. Something wasn't right. Either your mounts weren't appropriate or your scope was defective. S and B have an excellent reputation and are top dollar optics as far as I have heard. Out of my price range. But the scopes that I have had experience with, like Leupold, Nikon, Weaver, Vortex, have never had this issue. I also have never used a rail to mount optics, so I certainly don't have the experience to say what's right or wrong in the system. Maybe you or another viewer, with better insight, might illuminate this, for me or us. First time viewer, have subscribed and liked.

Hey Ozzie, great review!. I just got mine in 308W, ordered the rail a couple of weeks ago and then waited for the Permit to clear......... i've gone with a SIg Saur Romeo5. Sighted in yesterday with the Sierra Game Kings in 165g, Interested in your thoughts as i had 2 misfires out of 12 shots with a definite mark on the primer? Light rifle=solid recoil. Very happy with the accuracy but finding it pretty notchy when cycling rounds. Hopefully it will wear in quickly.

I'm a Canadian considering this rifle in 30-06, the 'takedown' model. I do intend to mount a scope, but will be getting a high power PCP air rifle as my primary & intend to get a scope that'll work on both. I'd be mounting the scope on top of the action like in this video. Anyone who's owned this rifle (takedown version or not) for a while have any regrets with theirs?

Lighter trigger would be awesome, i found barrel heats up very quick with repetitive shoots, but perfect for those hunts where you only let off one or two rounds go ie deer hunting! Ill be buggered though, howd does the included browning gun lock work?

GOONSHARK I think you have to drop the mag, open the action and feed it through. Not real good is it!

I couldn't for the life of me get the gun lock to work. You're meant to drop out the magazine and feed it through the ejection port then out the magazine well. Will not fit through mine.

I had a BLR in 243 and the blooming thing used to chuck a wide variety of ammo all over the place. Very poor accuracy, I had to sell it. Couldn’t find a load it actually liked for better than 2 inches at a hundred yards.....
