The BLR Lightweight Stainless pairs a 20-inch sporter-contour barrel with a satin nickel receiver, reducing overall weight without sacrificing strength. The stainless barrel is topped with a recessed crown to help protect accuracy in the field.
The detachable box magazine holds four rounds of .358 Winchester and allows the use of aerodynamic, pointed bullets—an advantage over traditional tubular-magazine lever guns. A gold-plated trigger sporting the Browning Buck-Mark adds a subtle, recognizable touch.
Its gloss-finished walnut stock features crisp checkering, a comfortable pistol grip, factory recoil pad, and sling swivel studs. Combined with a 13.75-inch length of pull, the rifle shoulders quickly and handles well in dense cover.
Sights include a ramp front with a gold bead and an adjustable folding leaf rear. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and the included scope rings make adding optics straightforward.
Manufactured in Japan in 2012 (serial prefix ZY), this BLR represents a modern take on the classic lever action—combining stainless steel durability, magazine versatility, and Browning’s proven design.
