The Browning BLR Lightweight in .308 Winchester (brand part no. 034009118) is a lever-action rifle built around a 20-inch barrel, pairing a detachable box magazine and multi-lug rotating bolt with a traditional lever-gun profile for modern hunting ammunition. Browning houses the action in a lightweight aluminum receiver, tops it with adjustable sights, and finishes the barrel in polished blue over a walnut stock. Among lever guns in the lever action rifles category, the BLR favors hunters who want a fast-cycling lever action that shoots modern spitzer-bullet cartridges other tube-fed lever guns can’t.
