Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning BLR is a lever-action rifle manufactured for Browning Arms Company by Miroku Firearms in Japan. It comes in many different variations and is chambered in numerous calibers from small and fast (.22-250 Remington and .243 Winchester) to the large Magnum rounds (7mm Remington Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum), and the large bore.450 Marlin. The BLR uses a detachable box magazine. Because of this, the BLR can be chambered for rounds with pointed-tip Spitzer bullets which 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. Production of the BLR began in the 1960s. The original "Model 81 BLR" revision had a steel receiver, which was changed to an aluminum alloy receiver with the introduction of the "Model 81 Lightning BLR" in 1995. Although this made the rifle lighter, many owners prefer the steel receiver version.
