Browning BLR Lightweight .308 Win 20" Walnut
Classic lever-action hunting rifle with detachable box magazine, aluminum receiver, and smooth rack-and-pinion action. Chambered in .308 Winchester with adjustable sights, walnut stock, and curved grip for comfortable field use.
A Modern Lever-Action for the Serious Hunter
The Browning BLR Lightweight represents the evolution of lever-action rifle design. This is not your grandfather's lever gun—it's engineered for hunters who demand accuracy, reliability, and the ability to use modern ammunition.
Design and Action
The BLR features an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy receiver paired with a smooth-operating rack-and-pinion lever system and a multi-lug rotating bolt. This combination allows the rifle to safely handle powerful hunting cartridges while maintaining the quick-handling characteristics hunters have valued in lever-actions for generations.
Accuracy and Reliability
- Precision barrel: Heat-treated chromoly steel, button-rifled with a 1:12" twist for consistent accuracy
- Detachable box magazine: Protects bullet tips and enables use of modern hunting ammunition
- Drilled and tapped receiver: Ready for scope mounting to extend your effective range
- Polished blued finish: Both barrel and receiver receive a professional polish for durability and classic appearance
Ergonomics and Safety
The curved-grip walnut stock is contoured for maximum comfort in the field, while the flared Schnabel fore-end adds both functionality and classic style. The gloss finish brings out the wood's natural grain and color. A folding four-position hammer provides safety in the field, with two half-cock positions for secure carry.
Sighting System
The rifle comes equipped with a low-profile, adjustable square-notch rear sight and a high-visibility front blade with gold bead on a raised ramp-style base. These open sights are reliable and quick-pointing, though the drilled and tapped receiver allows easy scope installation for extended-range hunting.
