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.

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 !

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.

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?
@Patriot-rising2 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

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.

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.....

I am between buying thus riffle in 308 or the henry long ranger 308. I like them both but I want the better of the two.

If you don't mind reloading, the BLR in .358 Winchester is a real thumper.
