Browning BLR Lightweight '81 Stainless Takedown .243 Win

A Modern Lever-Action Built for the Hunt

The Browning BLR Lightweight '81 Stainless Takedown represents what a contemporary hunting rifle should be. This is a rifle that doesn't compromise between tradition and practicality.

Design and Functionality

The BLR's rack-and-pinion lever action cycles smoothly and reliably. The detachable box magazine—a feature that sets it apart from many lever-actions—gives you flexibility in the field. The integrated lever and trigger design keeps the action compact and responsive.

The folding hammer offers four positions: full-cock, half-cock, folded (for safe carry), and fired. This thoughtful engineering reflects decades of lever-action refinement.

Takedown Advantage

Simply flip the finger lever and the rifle separates into two parts instantly. Reassembly takes seconds. This feature transforms how you transport and store your rifle—whether in a backpack, hunting duffel, or vehicle. The barrel is factory drilled and tapped for an optional forward-mounted scout-style scope base, allowing you to remove the barrel without losing your scope's zero.

Non-Reflective Finish

The satin-nickel receiver finish and matte stainless barrel minimize reflections that might alert game. The gray laminated hardwood stock with cut checkering provides a secure grip in wet conditions while maintaining the classic lever-action aesthetic.

Sights and Accuracy

The TRUGLO/Marbles fiber-optic front sight excels in low-light conditions. The adjustable rear sight gives you precision at hunting distances. Swivel studs are included for sling attachment.
