Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning BLR was first manufactured in 1971, from 1971-1972 the BLR was Made in Belgium and from 1973-Present Made in Japan. The BLR uses a detachable box magazine. Because of this, the BLR can be chambered for rounds with pointed tip Spitzer bullets that could be a safety issue for the tubular magazine more commonly used in lever-action rifles where a pointed bullet may through the forces of recoil strike the next round's primer and ignite that round The rack and pinion geared lever and bolt design can accommodate high-pressure modern magnum rounds. A notable feature is that the trigger moves with the lever when it is operated, which prevents the shooter's trigger finger from being pinched between the lever and the stock when the lever is closed.
