The BLR are nice riflesI had one in .243 and really liked it. Accuracy is good for a short barrel and a lever gun. Trigger pull isn't too heavy and usually nice and crisp. Had mine for over 15yrs and never once had a problem with it. Now my only problem is that I sold it.

I have owned 2 of them over the years. One in .358 an another in .308.
Both were good rifls that had decent accuracy.

One of the nicest shots I have seen another hunter take was the one RCG took on his freaky non-typical mule deer a few years ago. It was well past 300 yards when Rich dropped the deer which was quartering hard away with a single shot from his BLR in 7mm Remington.

Browning Blr

I have owned 3 Browning Blr's.One in 308 and 2 in 243.I did not like the 308 but swear by the 243.I can take the head off of a Grouse with it most every shot and it is my favourite Deer and Back bear rifle.
