NRA Day 1 interim…

Questions were asked on the new Ruger Wrangler, and the Browning BLR…

Here’s the pic… Steel cylinder, every thing else is CNC’ed aluminum. It’s not a bad little trigger, and it’s a tight little pistol. MSRP is $249, so street price is probably around $200. It’s much better quality than Heritage or the others, IMHO.

The other was the Browning BLR. The question was, any plans for a BLR in 350 Legend. Sadly, the ‘current’ answer is no.  However, they do have a new takedown BLR in various calibers that breaks down to about a 2 foot package. Accuracy is ~2MOA, but it is attractive as hell as a truck gun. The top one is the breakdown one.

Here’s the MSRP, I’m seriously looking at the 243 version.

Action is aluminum, and tapped for both a regular scope, and interestingly a scout scope setup…

Here’s the rifle taken down…

And they have a ‘carrying case’ for the takedowns… Hmmmm…

More later, once I recover from this morning’s laps…

  1. If you find a guy from Chicago that goes by the of Mark Weyermuller (hes a good guy and a Republican/Conservative activist) say hi. You’ll recognize him because he’s known for taking selfies.

  2. Ooooh, take-down lever. Nice, very nice indeed. Those BLRs have a pretty flat receiver too, much like the Winnie ’94 and (be still my heart) ’92. Easy carry too. And no damnable crossbolt – tang safeties, the way it ought to be ! Nice job Browning ! b

    Good news on that Ruger, its looking better and better. Though I wish fully adjustables were part of the program – I have some fixed sight revolvers and zeroing can get frustrating sometimes. I’m not a patient man – that takes some of the fun out of it. That one appears to be just right for a stroll in the woods.

    Thank you sir, you have a good time visting and inspecting the new toyz !!

  3. One of these years I’ll make it to one of these NRA Conventions. zHope you continue having an excellent time there.

    As for the Browning BLR Lightweight 81, I have one in 30-06. Fine rifle but I would rather have a take-down model with a pistol grip than the model I have with a straight grip. Then again, I got mine for a song at a live auction, so not complaining – just saying.
