The Browning BLR solved the lever action's oldest constraint by feeding from a detachable box magazine instead of a tube — which means it can safely fire pointed spitzer bullets and take full advantage of modern ammunition's ballistics. A rack-and-pinion geared action and a rotating multi-lug bolt head give it the strength to handle standard bolt-gun pressures.

This Lightweight is chambered in .270 Winchester with a 22-inch barrel and a pistol grip stock with a Schnabel forend — a handsome, more traditional profile. The .270 has been one of America's premier deer and antelope cartridges since Jack O'Connor made his case for it, flat-shooting and effective without punishing recoil. In a fast-handling lever gun, it's an unusually versatile combination.
